Hi all!
PDAC (Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada) is taking place in March 2020. If you are planning to visit the convention or if you are presenting at the Student Minerals Colloquium (3rd March), please ensure you are a PDAC Member for this year. OCUSEG has already arranged bus transportation and accommodation in Toronto for limited number of members (of OCUSEG). We are in the process of securing funds and you providing your PDAC Membership is crucial for the process. There is also a Early bird student price for PDAC if you purchase now:)
To reserve a spot, you will need both PDAC membership and OCUSEG membership($10)
The costs for the bus will be less than 30$ (round-trip). Students who are OCUSEG members and who provide their PDAC membership numbers will get priority when reserving the bus, or else it is first come first serve based.
We have also reserved beds in a Toronto Hostel near the Convention Center. We have space for 26 people and costs will be less than 150$ for the three nights (1st-4th March; breakfast is not included).
Please contact Rio Gong or Sabrina Chan to reserve your spot on the bus and/or the hostel

Crystal's age means early Earth may have been cool enough for water, life. To put it mildly, this is one gem of a gem. From a sheep ranch in Western Australia comes the oldest slice of Earth we know.
