The Association for Mineral Exploration BC (AME BC) and the Roundup 2012 Organizing Committee invite you to attend the Mineral Exploration Roundup conference Monday, January 23 to Thursday, January 26, 2012. Roundup, now in its 29th year, will once again bring together individuals and organizations representing all components of the global mineral exploration and mine development industries in Vancouver, Canada at the Westin Bayshore Hotel. The theme of Roundup 2012 is “Celebrating our First Century of Global Discovery” to coincide with AME BC’s 100 year anniversary in 2012. Roundup 2012 builds on the excitement generated by a strong commodity market as well as our record attendance of 7,000 participants from over 30 countries in at last year’s event. Come to the Westin Bayshore, Vancouver to discover our Technical Sessions, Short Courses, Poster Session, Core Shack, Prospectors’ Tent, and Map Tent – all elements that contribute to Roundup’s distinction as the world’s premier technical mineral exploration conference. Visit our diverse Trade Show of over 240 exhibitors, and network at our social events – all under one roof. Roundup continues to offers an excellent opportunity to connect with others, learn about developments in mineral exploration, and to celebrate our vibrant industry. Join us in beautiful Vancouver for Mineral Exploration Roundup 2012!
Gold
Gold is found in ores made up of rock with very small or microscopic particles of gold. This gold ore is often found together with quartz or sulfide minerals such as Fool's Gold, which is a pyrite. Gold's atomic number of 79 makes it one of the higher atomic number elements which occur naturally. Like all elements with atomic numbers larger than iron, gold is thought to have been formed from a supernova nucleosynthesis process.
Silver
Silver has been used for thousands of years for ornaments and utensils, for trade, and as the basis for many monetary systems. Its value as a precious metal was long considered second only to gold. The word "silver" appears in Anglo-Saxon in various spellings such as seolfor and siolfor. During World War II, the short supply of copper led to the substitution of silver in many industrial applications.
Copper
Copper has been in use at least 10,000 years, but more than 95% of all copper ever mined and smelted has been extracted since 1900. As with many natural resources, the total amount of copper on Earth is vast (around 1014 tons just in the top kilometer of Earth's crust, or about 5 million years worth at the current rate of extraction). However, only a tiny fraction of these reserves is economically viable, given present-day prices and technologies
Cobalt
Cobalt occurs in copper and nickel minerals and in combination with sulfur and arsenic in the sulfidic cobaltite (CoAsS), safflorite (CoAs2) and skutterudite (CoAs3) minerals. The mineral cattierite is similar to pyrite and occurs together with vaesite in the copper deposits of the Katanga Province. Cobalt is not found as a native metal but is mainly obtained as a by-product of nickel and copper mining activities.
Lead
Roman lead pipes often bore the insignia of Roman emperors. Lead plumbing in the Latin West may have been continued beyond the age of Theoderic the Great into the medieval period. Many Roman "pigs" (ingots) of lead figure in Derbyshire lead mining history and in the history of the industry in other English centers. The Romans also used lead in molten form to secure iron pins that held together large limestone blocks in buildings.
Zinc
Various isolated examples of the use of impure zinc in ancient times have been discovered. A possibly prehistoric statuette containing 87.5% zinc was found in a Dacian archaeological site in Transylvania (modern Romania). Ornaments made of alloys that contain 80–90% zinc with lead, iron, antimony, and other metals making up the remainder, have been found that are 2500 years old.
