From tin and tungsten in the SW, through the base-metals, fluorite and barite of Pennine Ore field, through the coal and iron deposits which fed the Industrial Revolution, the UK hosts an extraordinary legacy of mineral deposit mining, extending back many centuries.

Our rich mineral history continues to be written today, with, for example, the Cononish Gold producing its first gold in 2016. Allied to these rich resources, the UK has a strong and long-established international profile in Mineral Deposit research, hosting several vibrant centres of excellence, many of whom have just begun work on the UK’s largest ever Mineral Deposit research programme: the £15M initiative on E–tech elements – NERC’s Security of Supply of Mineral Deposits (SoS Minerals). Far from looking inwards, our community embraces international collaboration, and relishes the opportunity to bring one of the world’s most prestigious Mineral Deposit research meeting to the UK, and Glasgow, in particular. CONFERENCE VENUE The meeting will be held on the campus of The University of Glasgow, one of the oldest in Europe, founded in 1451. Its stunning campus is centred on a landmark neo-Gothic Main Building, and boasts over 100 listed buildings as well as modern teaching and research facilities. For over 560 years Glasgow has established creative and vibrant partnerships with communities, colleagues and students across the world, now with students from over 140 countries, and campuses across the globe. Its iconic researchers have always been at the forefront of innovation, including:
