International organization with interests in the discovery, study & development of mineral resources. Bateman, W.H. Emmons, L.C. Graton, J.F. Kemp, A.C. Lawson, W.

SEG originated from a 1919 gathering of a group of Geological Society of America (GSA) members who were especially interested in economic geology. The Society was established on December 28, 1920, during a constituting meeting of 60 distinguished professionals, including A.M. Lindgren, R.A.F. Penrose, Jr., R.H. Sales, J.E. Spurr and H.V. Winchell. Today the Society consists of more than 5000 members residing in over 90 countries throughout the world.

Calling all Early Career Professionals!

The Society is proud to partner with Freeport-McMoRan to offer an immersive 3-day course designed specifically to equip early career professional geologists with the essential skills needed for interpreting drill core at a scale relevant to effective porphyry copper exploration. It will combine thematic lectures with team-based drill core logging exercises, examining selected intervals of core and the accompanying multi-element geochemical data from the Dos Pobres Porphyry Cu-Mo deposit in the Safford District of SE Arizona, USA.

Hosted at the Freeport Exploration Centre of Excellence, this practical and hands-on approach will focus on using key data layers and drill core observations to develop simple but effective interpretations on a hand drawn cross section to guide interpretations of the mineral system.

Course: Core to Concept: Applied Logging for Effective Geological Models
Dates: December 4-6, 2026 in Tucson, Arizona
Presented by: Alan Wilson and Adam Leu

Space is limited to 12 participants. Please visit the registration page for full details: https://www.segweb.org/SEG/SEG/Events/Event-Display.aspx?EventKey=26RDSP001

SEG 2026 is officially underway, as our preconference excursions head into the field and begin exploring diverse geologic environments across the stunning landscapes of Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming! From the historic Butte porphyry system and Carlin Trend to the polymetallic deposits of Idaho and the magnificent geothermal features of Yellowstone, it's truly a geologist's paradise out there.

Thank you to all of our trip leaders and volunteers for their time and dedication in providing such valuable "hands on" learning opportunities! Enjoy the time in the field!

Interested in visiting one of the most active silicic volcanic centers on the planet? There are limited spaces available for the late September SEG 2026 field trip to Yellowstone, which will be led by Jeff Hedenquist and Stuart Simmons.

This 5-day trip jointly run with SGA Network will explore the greater Yellowstone region and how the extensive development of high-temperature hydrothermal activity represents the near surface expression of epithermal ore-forming environments. Emphasis will be placed on a practical understanding of hydrothermal mineral patterns and their evolution with time to interpret the depth level of exposure and the locations of prospective zones of gold-silver mineralization in epithermal deposits.

The trip will take place September 25-29, beginning and ending in Salt Lake City, and participants will be accommodated for four nights in West Yellowstone Park.

For more information on the trip and how to register, please visit the trip program page: www.seg2026.org/FT03

📢 Call for Papers!

Special Issue on Porphyry Deposits of British Columbia

Economic Geology is inviting submissions for a special issue exploring the porphyry systems of British Columbia. Understanding the diverse tectonic settings and the styles of deposits that formed within them is critical to advancing our knowledge of the genesis of porphyry deposits globally.

We are looking for multidisciplinary research spanning field mapping, geochemistry, geochronology, isotope geochemistry, mineral chemistry, hyperspectral, and melt/fluid inclusion analysis.
