These tours were incomparable learning experiences,   global in scope,   visiting the world's classic ore deposits

The tour rationale was:   The best way to learn about ore deposits, is to visit a selection of the best examples, wherever they may be in the world, hit the rocks and talk to the experienced geologists who work on, and explore around, them.
