Trade Show
The Trade Show is a staple of Mineral Exploration Roundup and presents
an unparalleled opportunity to visit a wide cross-section of companies
working in the mineral exploration and mining sector. In addition to the daily
reception (4:00 pm to 5:00 pm), both the Baron of Beef Lunch and the Beer
and Sandwich Lunch take place on the Trade Show floor. The companies
exhibiting change daily, so make sure you visit the Trade Show regularly so
you don’t miss out.

Poster Session
The Mineral Exploration Roundup Poster Session highlights the activity
and results of public geoscience and geoscience research activities, with
a particular focus on British Columbia and the Cordillera. It features the
results of geological mapping, economic geology studies and new ideas,
new technologies, and access to geoscience databases. Government and
university related database systems and information, such as those found
on the MapPlace.ca and other geoscience sites, are available live.
Approximately 90 posters highlighting results from projects of the BC
Geological Survey, Geological Survey of Canada, and Geoscience BC are

Trade Show - Poster Session
the main attraction as well as research results from numerous university
researchers, particularly students.
This session is particularly designed for one-on-one discussions and
information exchange with those geoscientists most familiar with the
geology and working within your area of interest. There will be posters
presenting geophysical and geochemical surveys from across the Cordillera
including: bedrock and surficial geoscience surveys in central British
Columbia within the Mountain Pine Beetle impacted zone; geological
mapping surveys from the north coast of British Columbia, and many parts
of central and southern British Columbia (e.g. Quesnel Arc, Kootenays,
Purcell Basin, Greenwood), southern Yukon (e.g. LaBiche, Kluane, and Windy
McKinley Terrane), and western NWT (Mt. Eduni); and research on a wide
variety of deposit types across the highly varied geology of the Cordillera.
Posters related to the Yukon, from the Yukon Geological Survey will be
displayed in the Yukon Room. The main focus of the poster session is the
Canadian Cordillera but topics of national and international interest are
included as space allows.
New for 2010, work of high school geology students will be displayed during
the poster session. BC’s Geology 12 high school course is very similar to
Geology 101 at university.
This year Ms. Jennifer Artibise’s Geology 12 students from West Vancouver
Secondary School have been invited to display their projects in the main
exhibit hall at Mineral Exploration Roundup on Monday, January 18. They
will be joined that day by students from other secondary schools to explore
careers in our industry at Roundup.

Students are invited and encouraged to submit poster presentations for
display. Student Prizes will be awarded. Please visit www.amebc.ca/

surface tour as dictated by time constraints. The bus will then return all
participants to The Westin Bayshore late evening Saturday, January 23.


Technical Sessions
Monday AM:
Official Opening and 2009 British Columbia, Alaska, Yukon,
Saskatchewan & Nunavut Exploration Reviews
In addition to the Opening Ceremonies, this session will provide British
Columbia, Alaska, Yukon, Saskatchewan and Nunavut exploration reviews.
Monday PM:
Commodities Overview: From the Front End of Exploration
The Commodities Overview session focuses on the key mineral deposits that
produce them. Never more relevant than today is the need for companies to
focus on “best of breed” deposit types, those that can generate positive cash
flows during any economic condition. During the past 100 years, numerous
deposit types, and many different districts, have had their “day in the sun” as
preeminent global producers. From the experiences of seminal geologists, and
the approaches of the leading global mining companies, this session will present
a series of “past, present and future” overviews on the deposits types, and/or
districts, which have dominated global supply for the key commodities. In short,
what were our key producers in the past, which deposits will see their companies
through the current cycle, and where will our industry’s attention need to be
focused in the future.
Tuesday AM: Public Geoscience
Public geoscience programs provide an important foundation for developing new
concepts and knowledge of geology and mineral potential. This work, conducted
by dedicated and experienced professionals, encourages new mineral exploration
activity and helps in the successful targeting of minerals related investments.
Geoscientists from the British Columbia Geological Survey, the Geological Survey
of Canada, Geoscience BC, and the Yukon Geological Survey present recent
successes from field and research programs throughout the Canadian Cordillera.
Talks will highlight results from current Cordilleran bedrock and surficial mapping
initiatives and interpretations of geophysical and geochemical datasets and
compilation projects, and will present new insights into the economic geology and
mineral deposits of the Canadian Cordillera. Virtually all new public geoscience
data is delivered online through world-class tools such as MapPlace and
MapMaker Online.
Tuesday PM:
British Columbia Mineral Exploration and Mining Highlights
In 2008, British Columbia maintained its status as Canada’s only molybdenum
producer, its largest copper producer and the largest exporter of coal. The
Province also produces gold, silver, zinc, and lead, as well as a number of
industrial mineral and dimension stone products. Exploration and deposit
appraisal expenditures in BC in 2008 remained high, at $367 million. While
down from the recent peak in 2007 of over $415 million, 2008’s exploration
expenditures are still a long way up from a mere $25 million in 1999. BC’s share
of exploration spending in Canada was 14.9 %, down slightly from 16.6% in 2007,
but still well up from the low of 5.7% in 2001. This session will present a number
of talks on selected BC exploration programs, advanced development projects,
and important mining operations. Exploration, development, and mining of
metallurgical coal, and BC’s three most important metallic (molybdenum, copper,
and gold), deposits will be highlighted.

Technical Sessions
Wednesday AM: Canadian Exploration Highlights
The commodity boom turned to bust towards the end of 2008 and has remained
volatile though 2009. While exploration budgets have tightened, Canada remains an
attractive resource-rich, stable jurisdiction, and explorers have continued to make
new discoveries and develop mining properties. This session looks at some of the
Canadian projects that have excited the industry and market during 2009.
Wednesday PM:
“I still don’t get it?” Incorporating Social Responsibility and
Environmental Best Practices into Exploration Programs
In today’s social and political environment more is expected from front line field
geologists and project managers than ever before. Not only must they be competent in
the science of geology, they also need to have a high level of computer, organizational,
and budgeting skills as well as knowledge of sound safety and environmental
practices. They also continue to be called on to ensure positive relationships are
developed early with project stakeholders and communities. This task requires more
than a basic appreciation of communication skills. To a large extent, project success
will depend upon geologists being able to effectively integrate all these considerations
into exploration project planning and execution.
This technical session will cover the nuts and bolts of integrating sustainability into
early to late stage exploration projects. Talks will provide practical instruction on:

Technical Sessions
integrating sustainability issues, such as social responsibility, environmental protection
and community consultation into project planning, as well as outlining techniques and
approaches to communication, consultation, and environmental data collection. Case
studies and hypothetical examples will be used to demonstrate the “Do’s and Don’ts”
of sustainable mineral development.
Thursday AM: International Case Studies: Risk to Reward
Since globalization of the mining industry there are very few jurisdictions where mining
companies haven’t ventured in search of new mines. This session attempts to focus
on a variety of factors which influenced, positively or negatively, decisions to enter
an area to explore, discover, and hopefully develop a mine. The recent worldwide
economic downturn has increased the risk, narrowed the preferred countries, and
diminished the target types companies might consider spending their hard-earned
cash on. What are the key components that influence moving forward?
Thursday PM: International Exploration Successes
The Global Financial Crisis may have dented 2009 exploration budgets for some,
but the record spending of the last few years is still paying dividends. Companies
committed to continuing exploration are finding that disciplined groundwork on
greenfields projects over the last few years is now paying off with exciting drill results.
Presentations in this session will showcase some of the exploration projects, teams,
and approaches that grabbed the industry’s attention during 2009. They will also
demonstrate that the exploration sector abroad is alive and well.


Short Courses
Aboriginal Engagement and Mineral Exploration – Managing your
Prospects
Friday, January 15, 2010
Presented by: Laureen Whyte (AME BC) & Jamila Abassi
The mineral exploration community is diverse; from prospectors to exploration firms, but what
they have in common is the need to access the land. In British Columbia this means working on
Aboriginal traditional territory. The reality is clear: the mineral exploration industry and BC’s First
Nation must work together if long-term, shared success is to be fully realized.
AME BC developed an Aboriginal Engagement Toolkit to help guide explorers in building productive
working relationships with BC First Nations. In it are templates and samples of agreements and
required materials, as well as context to the current political, social and cultural environments in
which you may be working. Ultimately, the toolkit has been designed to help facilitate dialogue
based on mutual respect, and a commitment to honest and transparent communication.
This course is based on the basic components of the toolkit, recognizing that different levels of
engagement are required at different times in the exploration process. The toolkit, and this course,
provides a project-by-project, step-by-step approach to engaging with First Nations. As an industry,
we know that each project is unique, and each community, Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal, has
different expectations for communication and engagement. We will discuss the various steps and
provide recent examples of how mineral exploration and First Nations can navigate the relationship
building required to achieve long-term, shared success.

Introduction to Mineral Resources Estimates
Presented by: AME BC & Marc Jutras (Alamos Gold Inc.)
Mineral resource estimates are publicly disclosed through press releases, technical reports, and
annual reports. The techniques involved in the calculation of resources over the last 20 years have
evolved greatly and can be at times overwhelming. The objectives of this one-day presentation are
to firstly describe the methodology utilized in resource estimation in a simple and clear manner,
and secondly to discuss the presentation of that information in public documents such as press
releases and technical reports.


Short Courses
In the first segment of the presentation, the focus will be on understanding the concepts behind the
estimation of mineral resources. Items such as basic statistics, spatial continuity of grade, grade
estimation and validation, and resource classification will be discussed.
In the second segment of the presentation, the attention will be directed at the public disclosure of
mineral resources. Tips at how to read between the lines and what information should one look for in a
press release or in a technical report, will be presented.
The main goal of this presentation is to provide sufficient knowledge to be able to comprehend and
form an opinion about mineral resource information in publicly disclosed documents.
This presentation is addressed to geologists, mining engineers, investors, analysts, and anyone who is
interested in a better understanding of the estimation of mineral resources.

Exploration & Mining 101
Presented by: AME BC & Dr. Robert Stevens (British Columbia Institute of Technology)
This two-day course will present an overview of mineral exploration and mining for non-technical
personnel working in this exciting industry (investor relations personnel, accountants, lawyers,
management, administrative support, and investors). Topics that will be discussed include geology and
mineral deposits, exploration methods, drilling, resource and reserve calculations, and common mining
methods. The course includes an overview of how to read technical news releases, understand drill and
assay results, and evaluate exploration properties and companies. Case studies using companies and
properties in the news will augment the material presented. This course is adapted from the popular 4-
day course called Exploration and Mining for Investment Advisors and Investors offered by AME BC and
the BC Institute of Technology. A course manual will be provided.

Understanding Mineralization Controls: Applied Structural Geology to
Exploration and Mining
Presented by: AME BC & James Siddorn (SRK Consulting)
Structural geology is an important factor in the formation and post-mineralization modification of nearly
all ore deposits. Structural control has an impact at all scales, from regional distribution of ore deposits
to the geometry of individual ore bodies. This two day short course is designed to equip you with the
tools and confidence to apply structural geology effectively and add value to your projects.
The low-jargon course is highly practical and interactive through a combination of PowerPoint
presentations and practical exercises, with case studies from exploration, mining, geotechnical, and
resource projects drawn from the collective global experience of SRK structural geologists.
Day 1 will focus on the tools and methods for interpreting structural data and key structural principles
in mineral exploration. This includes a review of new 3D modelling and structural interpretation
techniques now available. This will be followed by an in depth review of fault and shear zone structural
analysis. This will include the impact they have on mineralization distribution and control on ore plunge
within different commodities and structural settings. A particular focus will be on vein styles within
shear zones and the role of overprinting deformation on the post-mineralization structural modification
of ore deposits.
Day 2 will include a review of fold structural analysis and their impact on mineralization distribution
(e.g. saddle reefs, AC veins) and ore plunge; the analysis of structures in drillcore, including methods
for interpreting and analysing structures in non-oriented and oriented core; and a review of regional
structural and tectonic environments, linking deposit scale and regional structural interpretations.
A workbook containing copies of all presentations and exercises will be provided to participants for their
future reference.

Exploration Geophysics in the Mineral Exploration Industry
Presented by: AME BC, Nigel Phillips (Mira Geoscience), & Sergio Espinosa (Terrane Metals)
This course provides mineral exploration professionals with the knowledge and understanding of
all the major geophysical techniques applied in mineral exploration today. It is suitable for a wide
range of professionals who need to make decisions about using geophysics or based on geophysical
results, including: Exploration Geologists, Project Geologists, Prospectors, Exploration Managers, Chief
Geologists, Exploration VP’s, and Geophysicists who require a refresher on certain topics.
Attendees will gain a basic understanding of geophysical data, processing, and modelling products
including knowledge of what they are, how they work, in what situations they should be used, and how
to use them as effective exploration tools.


Short Courses
Theoretical background will be provided for all geophysical techniques followed by applied examples
and case studies ranging from reconnaissance and greenfield to advanced exploration and
deposit delineation programs. The topics covered will include gravity, magnetics, radiometrics,
induced polarization (IP), and electromagnetics (EM); their relation to physical properties (density,
magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and chargeability) and geological sources (lithology, alteration,
mineralization, structure); data acquisition platforms (airborne, ground, and borehole); data
processing; and integrated modelling.
The course is organized by the British Columbia Geophysical Society and speakers include
experienced geophysicists from academia, government, exploration companies, consultants, and
contractors.

Exploration Targeting in a Business Context
Presented by: AME BC & T. Campbell McCuaig (Centre for Exploration Targeting)
This two-day course provides an overview of exploration targeting from a business perspective, as well
as building the confidence of participants in how to approach the technical challenges of targeting.
Topics covered include: impacts of corporate strategy and risk tolerance on exploration strategy;
mineral deposit models versus mineral systems; how to translate understanding of a deposit style
into mapable criteria for target generation; how to rank and prioritize targets; different approaches
to mineral potential mapping and prospectivity analysis including different empirical and conceptual
methods highlighting their strengths and weaknesses; terrane endowment and maturity; and human
behaviour and its impact on exploration targeting. Principles in the course will be reinforced through
hands-on exercises and GIS-based examples.
The course is aimed at project geologists and exploration managers from junior through to major
companies, who are making technical decisions about ground selection, target generation, target
ranking, and target evaluation.

Exploring the MapPlace and Mineral Titles Online
Sunday, January 17, 2010
Presented by: AME BC & the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources
This one-day short course will be of interest to mineral exploration and research geoscientists who
want to use freely accessible government applications for research to identify new exploration targets
and for mineral tenure acquisition and maintenance.
The hands-on course will review the basic tools of select, zoom, copy, paste, layer manipulation,
and report and map printing for both the MapPlace and Mineral Titles Online (MTO). The MapPlace
portion of the course will instruct participants to investigate key databases for mineral tenure, mineral
inventory, mineral potential, assessment reports, geochemistry, geophysics, and geology to generate
exploration targets and strategies. Exercises will include running queries such as zooming to any
geographic location, finding location of mineral deposits, viewing tenure owners, extracting data from
point/polygon intersections, and using visualization tools, such as Google Earth, to display data. The
MTO portion of the course will instruct participants on accessing MTO, and acquiring and maintaining
tenure. The procedures for the landowner notification report will also be reviewed.
Since 1995, the MapPlace has provided clients with efficiencies in research time, data costs, and
analysis. Mineral Titles Online was implemented in January 2005 as a world-class online tenure
registry and allows anyone from anywhere in the world to register and maintain a tenure. The use of
these two systems coupled together offers the mineral exploration industry many resources to make
and achieve sound business decisions. Links to both applications and supporting documentation can
be found under Popular Topics at http://www.empr.gov.bc.ca.

Roundup Rockhounds
In cooperation with AME BC, the Mineral Resources Education
Program of BC will once again be involving elementary and
secondary students and their teachers in Mineral Exploration
Roundup 2010. We are expecting more than 120 students to
attend Roundup 2010 as special delegates after working on
mineral resources units with their teachers in the fall. While
attending Roundup, the students will participate in a full day
of learning opportunities including a Trade Show treasure
hunt, gold panning with Yukon Dan, listening to exploration
geologists speak about their exciting work, and talking with
delegates and exhibitors to learn about the variety of careers
and opportunities available in the mineral exploration and
mining sector.
In addition to the students attending the conference, the
Mineral Resources Education Program of BC will also
showcase student artwork as the centerpieces at the AME
BC Awards Night. There will also be a silent auction during the
reception and dinner to raise funds for the program, which is
a charitable organization.
The Mineral Resources Education Program of BC is a
partnership program between teachers and the minerals
industry in BC. It was created to assist teachers in their
development of educational materials to support teaching
about minerals, mining, and geoscience in the classroom.
The program’s goals are to foster a well-informed public
through school education based on accurate and balanced
minerals information, and to stimulate young peoples’
interest in minerals industry careers. To learn more about
the Mineral Resources Education Program of BC, please visit
www.bcminerals.ca.


Volunteers
Volunteers are an integral part of the success of Mineral Exploration
Roundup. Each year, student volunteers assist on-site with
registration, setting up core shacks and poster sessions, providing
assistance to delegates, and assist with a myriad of other duties that
contribute to the great success of Roundup. All student volunteers
will receive the equivalent of a delegate registration, which includes
admission to the Trade Show and Technical Sessions, delegate bag,
and complimentary Beer & Sandwich lunch.

Please visit www.amebc.ca/roundup/roundupvolunteers.aspx
for more information. To sign up as a volunteer please email the
Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@amebc.ca.
