About the workshop

In this two day workshop for Mining & Exploration professionals, you'll become familiar with QGIS, the powerful desktop GIS taking the mining and exploration industry by storm!

Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to fill gaps in your knowledge, we follow a systematic approach that benefits beginners and experienced professionals alike.

Using mining & exploration data like tenements, collars, and assays, we'll explore how to bring multiple datasets together to explore, analyse, and present your data to a professional standard.
