2012 Calgary MEG Annual Forum Update
The Calgary
Mineral Exploration Group has organized an annual spring Mining Forum
with short courses for the past 20 years. The attendance has gone down
steadily for 5 years and this year we lost over $11,000 on our yearly
operation. We have decided to move the Forum time to around the third week in October; a time of year when there are very few conferences competing with us. The
Forum is run by a group of volunteers, most of whom having been doing
it for 10 years or more. We want at least 5 new volunteers for the
October 2012 Forum. These new volunteers will work with the existing
committee to share some of the effort. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! If
we do not get 5 new volunteers we will cancel the annual Forum and only
continue with monthly lunch meetings and short courses. It is your
Mining Forum and it will only continue if you help out. If you would
like to volunteer please send us an email to
