Welcome to the 12th SGA Biennial Meeting

The Geological Survey of Sweden and the local organizing committee, is proud to announce the 12th SGA Biennial Meeting which will be held in the university city of Uppsala. The meeting will take place at the Uppsala University main building within walking distance of most hotels.

The 12th SGA Biennial Meeting provides an excellent opportunity to present and exchange knowledge within the field of mineral deposit research. Sweden has a history of mining and metals refining stretching back more than a thousand years. Its metal ores and other mineral resources, and knowledge about how to use them, have been major factors in building the prosperity the country enjoys today. There will be a wide variety of activities available to both delegates and accompanying persons, both in terms of field trips and all of the interesting social activities that the city has to offer.

It is my pleasure to wish you a warm welcome to Sweden and Uppsala. We look foward to seeing you at the 12th SGA Biennial Meeting.

Dr. Kaj Lax
Chairman of the local organizing committee,
Head of Department, the Geological Survey of Sweden.
