Tectonics and Structural Geology for the Mining and Minerals Industry

​

 

As part of the 2026 Conference of the Specialist Group in Tectonics and Structural Geology, the Industry Day will bring together leading experts, industry professionals, researchers, and students for a focused program exploring the critical role of structural geology and tectonics in the mining and minerals sector.

​

This dedicated one-day event will feature six internationally recognised experts delivering extended one-hour plenary presentations. The longer-format sessions are designed to move beyond condensed conference talks, giving speakers the opportunity to authentically share their experience, technical insights, workflows, case studies, and lessons learned from real-world applications across the resources industry.

​

The program will showcase how structural geology and tectonic understanding underpin exploration success, orebody interpretation, geotechnical assessment, and mineral systems analysis across a range of commodities and geological settings.

 

The SGTSG Industry Day provides a unique forum for meaningful engagement between industry practitioners, academics, and the next generation of geoscientists. Attendees will have the opportunity to:

​

• Hear in-depth presentations from leading structural geologists and tectonics experts

• Explore practical applications in mineral exploration and mining

• Gain insights into emerging approaches, technologies, and industry challenges

• Connect with professionals across industry and academia

• Engage directly with speakers through extended discussion opportunities​

 

Whether you are an exploration geologist, researcher, consultant, student, or mining industry professional, the Industry Day offers a rare opportunity to learn from experts in a format designed for deeper understanding and genuine knowledge exchange.
