Crocoite, Dundas, Tasmania

The 31st Annual Seminar of the
Joint Mineralogical Societies of Australasia

Thursday 6th & Friday 7th November 2008

Planning for the 2008 Seminar in Tasmania, hosted by the Mineralogical Society of Tasmania, is well under way.

The theme is Copper Mines & Minerals, with guest speakers from Tasmania, interstate & overseas. It will be held on Thursday 6th & Friday 7th November, 2008, in Zeehan at the Gaiety Theatre.

Field trips, including the Zeehan Museum to view the Crocoite display, will be organised for the three days leading up to the Seminar, and the Zeehan Gem & Mineral Show will be on the two days following (Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th November).

We expect a mix of amateur and professional mineralogists, geologists, museum curators, and the like, to attend, what should be a very interesting and informative Seminar.

Expressions of interest for speaking, selling, advertising, sponsorship or attending are welcome. For further details contact:
