SAEMC is an annual collaborative event that brings together both the exploration and mining industries in South Australia.

Student Posters

Each year SAEMC invites Honours and PhD students to submit scientific research posters. These posters are designed to encourage and highlight the ability of students to present their scientific research in a visual format. The SAEMC event is an excellent platform for students to present and discuss the potential implications of their research to the broader resource community. The student posters are displayed during the conference.
