S-IMEW provided a wonderful overview of mining and mineral exploration. It was such an eye-opening trip that showcased the wide variety of geoscience disciplines and career paths in industry. Highlights for me were exploring volcanic rocks around Noranda with Harold Gibson, visiting the shatter cones in Sudbury, and getting hands-on experience with different types of geochemical sampling. I still draw upon topics we discussed at S-IMEW in my teaching today, and now have the privilege of nominating UVic students to attend S-IMEW!
