SGA Educational Fund

It is widely acknowledged that there is a worldwide shortage of well-trained young professionals in the field of mineral deposit research and economic geology. By establishing the SGA Educational Fund (SGA EF) in 2013, the SGA wished to contribute to training the next generation of economic geologists by providing support for educational activities in mineral deposit geology for students and professionals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This includes participation in national and international scientific meetings, field trips, workshops, short courses or other related activities organized or sponsored by the SGA. Your contribution to the SGA Educational Fund will help achieve these objectives. 

The donation levels are as follows: Diamond (€10,000 or more), Platinum (€5,000 to 9,999), Gold (€2,500 to 4,999), and Silver level (€1,000 to 2,499). Contributions will be acknowledged in the SGA News, the SGA website and at SGA’s Biennial Meetings for a period of at least two years. We ask all in the mining and exploration industry to contribute to the SGA Educational Fund – a worthwhile investment into the future of your enterprises. Depending on the country in which the sponsor is registered, donations may be tax-deductible.
