Welcome to the Mineral Deposits Studies Group (MDSG)
The Mineral Deposits Studies Group (MDSG) is a special interest group associated with the Geological Society, the Mineralogical Society and the Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining (IOM3).
We have a mailing list “Geo-mineralisation” which we use to commmunicate MDSG’s activities and other activities and events which may interest members – subscribe here.
We hold a meeting every winter in which we showcase the latest research in economic geology, and we particularly encourage research students to present their work. For more details of our next meeting please see Events.
The aims of Group are to promote and advance the study of mineral deposits, mineralisation processes and related subjects by:
- stimulating a wider interest in mineral deposits and associated topics;
- facilitating the exchange of information between members of the Group and with others working in similar fields of interest;
- the convening of meetings, workshops, seminars and field visits on themes of interest to Group members;
- encouragement of research, teaching, industrial links and practical application.
