Applied Geochemistry for Mineral Exploration An Integrated 4-Module Workshop on Whole-Rock Geochemistry, Mineral Chemistry, TSG and ioGAS-Based Targeting
Join us for 4 days from 10 June 2026 to 18 June 2026 for a focused training on geochemistry and mineralogy applied to copper exploration using ioGAS and TSG. This workshop covers ore-forming processes, analytical and sampling methods, as well as advanced tools such as spectral geology and mineral chemistry for vectoring in Cu systems.
CHARACTERISTICS OF MIOCENE PORPHYRY SYSTEMS OF NORTHERN PERU
Miocene magmatism in northern Peru, caused by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate, was essential for forming major copper and gold deposits. Calc-alkaline intrusions and volcanic activity created large hydrothermal systems that transported and concentrated metals, leading to the formation of important porphyry copper-gold and high-sulfidation epithermal deposits such as Yanacocha, Cerro Corona Mine, and La Granja.

Geological and Geochemical Tools to Detect Copper and Gold Mineralization in Magmatic Hydrothermal Systems
Face to Face, Lima, Peru This workshop aims to provide practical tools for effective copper exploration, by mastering the fundamentals characteristics of the deposits formed in these systems and learning emerging tools to explore for giant deposits. It uses examples from some of the main world’s Cu and Au mineral systems, including porphyry, IOCG, high-sulfidation and low-sulfidation epithermal, and intrusion related systems.
