South America\, particularly the Andean region that includes some of the richest metallogenic provinces in the world\, such as the richest Cu-Mo province\, one of the most extensive and rich Sn and Ag belts\, one of the richest Sb belts\, the most important concentrations of Li in salars\, and one of the richest borates provinces. Also it hosts some of the largest individual ore deposits such as Cerro Rico de Potosí\, Llallagua\, Chuquicamata and El Teniente mines. South America offers excellent geology hosting world class mineral deposits covering the past 2 billion years of Earth’s metallogenic history\, encompassing almost every conceivable metallogenic process. \nThus the region offers something that will tempt every economic geologist and metallogenist. The diversity of the geology\, mineral resources\, and local population invite the world to investigate and discuss our science and enjoy Argentina’s renowned hospitality. The chance for Argentina to host this important meeting is a unique opportunity to help create an extraordinary environment for the presentation and exchange of knowledge and research results on the genesis of mineral deposits. \nIt will also give an invaluable occasion for local scientists to expand upon their training in various aspects related to metallogeny and research tools. The Argentine bid commits to enhance the participation in the IAGOD Symposium of young geoscientists\, students\, and delegates from less advantaged countries from around the globe. The commitments from the Geological Survey of Argentina and the Geological Association of Argentina\, the support from the Ibero-American Geological and Mining Survey Association\, as well as from the private natural resources sector\, guarantee a successful 15th Quadrennial IAGOD Symposium. \nThere are five field trips planned. Trips are organized in order to visit world class deposits of metals (Ag\, Sn\, Cu) and nonmetals (B\, Li)\, as well as having the opportunity to discover the cultural aspects of the region and their inhabitants\, involving mines from Argentina\, Bolivia\, and Chile.

The event\, which focuses on the diamond producing industry\, will highlight the diamond potential of Brazil\, its geology\, and new discoveries and developments in the sector. The conference will be held at the Deville Hotel and Conference Centre from November 4th to 7th\, 2018.\nPaul Zimnisky\, a diamond analyst and one of the principal names in the international industry\, will be the keynote speaker and will give delegates his views on the current state of the natural diamond industry\, and where he sees the industry heading in the future. Dr. Barbara Scott-Smith\, a world-renown kimberlite specialist will provide delegates with insight into a new standardized kimberlite terminology that is now being used at most producing diamond mines in the world. There will also be presentations on the Braúna diamond mine of Lipari Mineração Ltda.\, Brazil’s largest diamond producer and the first commercial mine in South America which was developed on a kimberlite deposit.\nKen Johnson\, President of Lipari and the President of the conference organizing committee said that “the purpose of this conference is to highlight the immense diamond potential of Brazil. Prior to the discovery of diamonds in South Africa in 1867\, Brazil was the world’s largest diamond producer for almost 150 years. All of the historical production was derived from alluvial deposits\, despite the fact that there are now over 1\,340 kimberlites discovered. Our Braúna mine is the first kimberlite deposit to be put into commercial production\, with an annual production of approximately 230\,000 carats per year. Following the success of Lipari’s Braúna development\, diamond explorers and producers are now starting to look at Brazil as a prospective area for diamond exploration. There is an industry waiting to be developed here\, it just needs investment and know-how. This will be the focus of this year’s conference”. \nFor more information\, visit the conference website at www.simposiododiamantebahia.com.br/en/.
