Base Minerals Webinar: Copper - Red Metal for a Green Future

The first installment in the SEG 2023 Base Metals Webinar Series will provide geoscientists with an open forum for interaction with industry and academic experts as they discuss the significance of copper exploration and the massive role that it will play in the evolving energy transition. With demand for copper expected to more than triple in the coming two decades there is a need for the next generation of geologists to better understand the full scope of the metal's value chain and exploration potential.
This webinar of focused mini-lectures will allow experts to share their knowledge on a variety of relevant themes, such as investigating copper with regards to the latest regional and global market trends, modern exploration highlights and frontiers, and significant advances coming from within academia. Following the lectures, a panel discussion will offer conversations on a wide range of key concepts and allow the panelists to bring their unique perspectives to the table.
