SUMMARY OF ANNUAL ACTIVITIES OF SEG - ST CHAP
REGULAR MEETINGS, LECTURES
In this year all the student chapter joint effort were concentrated on getting funds for the planned fieldtrip,
initially we thought travel to Canada but there were many elements that complicated this fieldtrip such as
distance, costs, documentation, few replies of mines that could confirm our visit, etc. We’ve decided
reprogram this fieldtrip to Perú, so in this way the regular meetings activities were focused on select the
mines we would like to visit, getting contacts that could help us in geological cross sections, transport and
hotels.
About lectures, our student chapter host for the first time ever the visit of a Lecturer from SEG (Thayer
Lindsley Visiting Lecturer) we received in our university, in a public conference from Karen D. Kelley the talk
“The Giant Concealed Pebble Cu-Au-Mo Porphyry Deposit, Southwest Alaska: Evolution and Exploration
Implications”. This talk was enriching for all the assistants due to the similarities in technical, geological and
environmental between Pebble and some projects in our country.

FIELD TRIPS
● Quebradona mining project, Anglogold Ashanti, Middle Cauca Belt, Jericó, Antioquia
On Tuesday September 8th the student chapter visited one of the three main exploration projects of Anglogold
Ashanti in Colombia, a porphyry Cu-Au type mineralization which it was discovered nine years ago, its Inferred
mineral resources are: 4Mt Cu, 6 Moz Au, 85 Moz Ag, Mo 70 Kt. During the visit, the student chapter met the
geological models of the project and how they have perfected with 77000 m drilling made. They observed
core drilling and a drilling rig operating at the time of the visit.

CONFERENCE, WORKSHOPS, SHORT COURSES
● Curso teórico práctico “Fundamentos para la evaluación de recursos minerals” (Theoretic and
practical short course on basics for evaluation of mineral resources)
This course was offered for students, geologists, mining and geologist engineers, and all people related to the
mining industry. This short course was given by the mining engineer and geostatitician Mario Rossi, its
duration was 32 hours and the assistants learned the concepts of geostatistics and how to model resources
through a statistics advanced software (GSLib)
● Tectonomagmatic controls on porphyry and epithermal mineralization
This short course was offered also for students, geologists, mining and geologist engineers, and all people
related to the mining industry. It was an enriching course for all the assistants, including foreign assistants, its
duration was 24 hours and was given for the Ph. D Jeremy Richards, at this short course the assitants have the
opportunity to learn about this expert and make some rocks and mineral identification from rock samples of
Jeremy’s personal collection.

● “The importance of ophiolites. Aburra Ophiolite basics” Ana María Correa
On October 28th the Student Chapter organized a public conference with the geologist from Servicio
Geológico Colombiano (SGC) Ana María Correa. She have been studying ophiolites since his undergraduate
program. Between his works there are investigations on Aburra Ophiolite, this geological unit has so much
importance in the understanding of geology of Aburrá Valley.

PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCE, WORKSHOPS, SHORT COURSES
During this year our vice-president participated on the fifteenth Colombian Geological Congress in
Bucaramanga, she presented her thesis "Molybdenite in the Segovia Remedios mining district" which presents
the mineralogical association of Cordoba system and the importance of molybdenite occurrence in the district.

FUNDING RAISING PROGRAMS
The principal funds raising for the chapter is the organization of student’s chapter integrations, barbecues,
raffles, and selling of chapter items as divers, vest, hats, notebooks, notepads, etc. The funds are used to pay
to the driver in the local field trips. Also for the planning of Perú field trip the chapter have received donations
of geology and mining organizations such as SEG and Data Metallogenica
FUTURE PLANS
At december of this year the student chapter will be going to mining projects and world class deposits in Perú,
there are some mines that have confirmed the visit such as Yanacocha, Cerro Verde, Poderosa and Cuajone.
The objective is the general understanding of the full mining process: learn about how is the development of
large scale mining, their impacts and environmental challenges, how is the geology and geodynamic setting
and their relationship with the mineralization and some of the geotechnical aspects.
Other idea is realize a field trip in Colombia where we can learn about the large-medium-small scale mining
and its environmental and social impacts.
The most important objective of this new period is return the student chapter to the high academic
discussions around economic geology and in the other aspects that involve that and also promote the student
chapter in the university with students of all different semesters.
