14 Mar 2019MSc & PhD Opportunities with Metal Earth
Canada’s largest mineral exploration research project, Metal Earth, is seeking MSc & PhD students to join the project
A seven-year $104 million research initiative, Metal Earth, led by the Mineral Exploration Research Centre (MERC) at Laurentian University has attracted researchers from around the world to uncover key characteristics and processes that are responsible for Earth’s differential base and precious metal endowment. The project aims to develop an understanding of these processes and to apply them to other jurisdictions with similar geologic environments, thus providing better area selection tools to reduce exploration risk.
