Trends in 2011

by P. Killeen

Exploration Trends&Developments in 2011 compiled by P.Killeen and published with The Northern Miner in March 2012 are available on the KEGS website for download!

The Trends review originated with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), where, for over 45 years, GSC scientists have prepared an unbiased annual publication on trends and new developments in geophysical exploration for minerals. The Canadian Exploration

Geophysical Society (KEGS) first became the primary “patron” of the annual review of Mineral Exploration Trends & Developments in 2007. This year, KEGS support came from the companies listed in the Sponsor’s Box below. This marks the 20th year it has been written by Patrick Killeen, originally as a research scientist at the GSC, and since 2007 through KEGS.

Founded in 1953, KEGS has the stated purpose according to the constitution: “... to promote the science of geophysics especially as it is applied to the exploration for minerals other than oil; to foster the common scientific interests of geophysicists; to maintain a high professional standing among its members; and to promote fellowship and co-operation among persons interested in these problems.”
