The Annual Geoscience Exploration Seminar (AGES) is held every year in Alice Springs and is the Territory’s premier exploration-focused event.
AGES is a technical exploration conference with a range of talks from the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS), its research partners and the exploration industry. It presents a unique opportunity to access the latest fresh exploration ideas and geoscientific data from the Northern Territory (NT) and to network with colleagues who share an interest in the discovery and development of the Territory’s minerals and oil and gas resources.
AGES 2018 will be held on 20-21 March at the Alice Springs Convention Centre, with pre-conference workshops on the afternoon on Monday 19th March.
