GSWA Open Day 2019
The Geological Survey hosted its annual Open Day on Friday 22 February 2019. This was a great opportunity to hear presentations on the latest results from its geoscience programs, including collaborative work with CSIRO, Geoscience Australia, Curtin University and the Centre for Exploration Targeting (CET).
Activities and results of the Exploration Incentive Scheme were outlined including the launch of Round 19 of the Government Co-funded Exploration Drilling program.
Throughout the day, there were geological presentations, an extensive poster display, and demonstrations of online systems and innovations in technology.
