S-IMEW offered great workshops and talks focused on a wide variety of topics (Exploration geology, mining, geophysics, career development, etc.) that have helped me develop into a more well rounded professional in the mining industry. However, I think the biggest gift we all took from our experience was the number of lifelong friends we made and continue to keep in touch with.

Carleton University
Research Geophysicist, Lamontagne Geophysics Ltd.
S-IMEW not only provided me with a practical view of the mineral exploration industry but introduced me to a fundamental element of working in the mining community, the ‘art’ of networking. The organizers encouraged students like myself to speak with industry members and to develop the career connections required to be successful. Five years later, I continue to stay in contact with several of the industry professionals and other students that I met during this valuable student program.

Nate Corcoran
S-IMEW 2011
Regional Geologist, British Columbia Geological Survey
Meeting a great new group of cohorts made me appreciate the unique people in geology and mineral exploration. This made me want to continue working in the industry knowing the people I am working with are intelligent, adventurous, well rounded and appreciate the outdoors. Also, going underground in Quebec and seeing large bornite mineralization with silver veins come out of the ground made me keep in mineral exploration.
