| SENSATIONAL FIELD TRIPS This year’s event in Namibia provides fascinating opportunities to explore one of the most geographically rich regions in the world. Our field trips will provide exclusive opportunities to explore specific sites, guided by experts in that particular field. One such trip will be the visit to the Namibian Diamond Mega-Placer, from 19 to 25 September, led by Roger Swart, Jana Jacob, Gottfried Grobbelaar, and John Ward. This mega-placer is the result of a weathering and conveyor system that liberated diamonds from kimberlite pipes in the interior of southern Africa and transported them along the Orange River drainage system to the Atlantic Ocean. The onshore marine component of the placer is virtually mined out. However, new techniques for processing and interpreting geophysical datasets have revealed controls on the diamondiferous gravels that provide much-needed guidance for future mining operations. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear first-hand how exploitation of the nearshore deposits can be extended for decades to come.
