  
Students: What to expect as a geologist – examples and thoughts
Timed to align with the end of the university year as some students start to consider their next steps, two talks delivered from different ends of the career spectrum will give insight into the roles, challenges, skills required and lessons learnt in minerals exploration.
1. The Sunday Creek Gold Project, Victoria, enjoys a global focus as an exceptional exploration project with enormous potential. Originally presented at Round-up, this talk gives insight into what makes a good exploration project – process, people, prospectivity and passion.
2. There is a lot to be learnt from other peoples experience. Raiding memories (and pics) from decades in geosciences, this talk attempts to make sense of what it is to be an exploration geologist and how to get in.
