Meeting a great new group of cohorts made me appreciate the unique people in geology and mineral exploration. This made me want to continue working in the industry knowing the people I am working with are intelligent, adventurous, well rounded and appreciate the outdoors. Also, going underground in Quebec and seeing large bornite mineralization with silver veins come out of the ground made me keep in mineral exploration.

I cannot recommend the S-IMEW experience highly enough. Although the workshop classes and exercises were effective and convinced me I wanted a career in mineral exploration, the true highlight of S-IMEW for me was spending two glorious, fun-filled weeks with an amazing group of students who would become my industry peers. In this setting, it is impossible not to make friends and lifelong contacts who now live across the country. Another major advantage of S-IMEW is that it allows students at the beginning of their careers to meet influential members of the mining community, a feat difficult to duplicate.

Although I now work in the production sector, my summers as a student and my first job post-graduation were in exploration. S-IMEW was the first in-depth experience where I was able to physically see all of the steps from mineral exploration to deposit definition to mine operation. I think having experience in both exploration and production is a significant asset to any geologist's knowledge base, and I am still overwhelmed by all that I was able to see and learn in such a short time during S-IMEW. I also found it a comfortable, intimate setting for innumerable networking opportunities that were second to none. To say the least, it's an event not to be missed!
