NewGenGold is established as the world’s pre-eminent gold exploration conference. It was spawned by the perception that
explorers were in need of a forum where practical discovery case histories could be presented to their peers and, in the
process, there would be a motivational learning experience which could have immediate application for all concerned.

Discovery case histories are near and dear to our hearts! We enjoy hearing about the circumstances leading to the success

of others and are stimulated to apply what we learn from these stories to our own exploration endeavours.

The relevance to the gold industry of a conference with this theme has been readily recognised by the industry and by our

sponsors, many of whom have been long term supporters. Their commitment to this event is greatly appreciated and their
individual contributions will be acknowledged at relevant stages of the programme.

We hope you are stimulated by the presentations and encourage you to take time to visit the booths in the exhibition where
the latest in products and services for the exploration industry will be on display. The generous lunch and tea/coffee breaks

will be held in the exhibition area where networking with fellow delegates is a convenient process.

Dinner this evening is in this room at 7pm. Beforehand there will be pre-dinner drinks in the exhibition area. Tomorrow, at
the close of the programme of presentations, the Forum will follow after which we will be proceeding to the nearby Perth
Mint which will be our generous host for the closing function commencing at 5.30 pm.

You will have received your copies of the printed proceedings. Should you require additional copies of current or past

proceedings they can be purchased at the Paydirt desk and there is an order form in your satchels.

So let us begin.
