A variety of mineral deposit types from the Philippines as well as from various parts of the globe will be presented and discussed, with special focus on hydrothermal processes. Contributions related to studies and observations of mineralization characteristics, ore-forming fluid properties and physico-chemical parameters related to ore deposition are encouraged.
|
This session covers the diversity of exploration tools being used in mineral discovery and development. It will discuss current and novel quantitative and qualitative exploration methods applied to different mineral deposit styles and characteristics. Topics will encompass geochemical modeling, geophysical exploration surveys, data analysis and orebody characterization.
|
The geologic setting and tectonic evolution are significant factors in ore concentration and metal endowment, especially in island arc settings. The complex geodynamic setting of ore-forming systems offers an opportunity to investigate the spatial and temporal evolution of mineral deposition. We seek papers considering field observations, petrologic investigation, geochronological studies, geochemical analyses and interpretation related to host rock properties and associated metallogeny.

This session centers on environmental impact assessment, management, and protection, with focus on the use of advance or new technologies, indigenous knowledge, and novel approaches; biological, chemical and physical remediation; best practices and examples of success stories for environmental protection or rehabilitation; technology innovation, and industrial optimization.
|
Works on the human, cultural and social costs associated with mining and other resource extractive industries are at the heart of this session. Papers on the following topics are welcome: impacts of migration consequent to mining operations; concerns on social, health, and recreational services and infrastructure; threats to or changes in traditional values and culture; gender issues; new ideas on interest redistribution, enhancement of the legal environment for improving the delivery of corporate social responsibility; best practices towards the promotion of social cohesion
|
To cap the meeting, the last session will be on the theoretical approaches towards understanding the current conflicts in the country in the development of our non-renewable resources. Invited speakers will be discussing on why there are conflicts to begin with, borrowing from experiences with other resource extractive industries, particularly forestry. Papers on risk communication, resource economics, and development planning will also be presented.
