The Alaska Miner Fall 2023 26 Members and Friends of the Alaska Miners Association: It’s time for another great convention! I want to welcome you and your company to the 2023 Alaska Miners Association Annual Convention and Trade Show, Nov. 6-9 at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage. You’ll find valuable information about this year’s convention in the following pages of the Alaska Miner Magazine. You know what makes this a great event — more than 1,000 attendees from all sectors of our industry, many great networking events, the largest mining trade show in the state, representatives from all operating mines and potential mining development projects in Alaska, educational short courses and technical sessions, and so much more. Our theme this year is “Miners for Generations.” Following the Trade Show Supplier’s Reception Tuesday, Nov. 6, will be a “Young Professionals” event in the Core Shack area. This is an opportunity for our experienced sourdough professionals to meet and network with our cheechako professionals. They are the future of Alaska mining. We will offer three excellent short courses Monday, Nov. 6. Short Course #1 Geochemical Data Analysis, Interpretation, and Practical Applications for the Mineral Industry, Short Course #2 Alaska Geology and Minerals 101 and Short Course #3 WOTUS in Alaska. There is limited space for these courses so sign up early at AlaskaMiners.org/convention. During the convention Nov. 7-9 we are offering dual tracks of technical session presentations highlighting exploration projects, mine operations, mineral investigations by the USGS & DGGS, environmental and policy-focused sessions, and many more technical presentations. We also have keynote speakers at all our luncheons that you will enjoy, as well as a wealth of vendors and sponsors to network within the trade show during coffee breaks. There are a few remaining booth spaces and sponsorship opportunities available to showcase your company before the industry. This is a great way to give your company and products maximum exposure in front of the “who’s who” of mining in Alaska. Email Jennifer Luiten at jennifer@ alaskaminers.org. Thank you to all our sponsors! Underwriting this event ensures it will be successful, and your sponsorship dollars also help sustain AMA and its efforts year-round to promote a vibrant mining industry for Alaska. This year, Mining Hall of Fame inductions will be Wednesday, Nov. 8, 7-9 p.m. at the Downtown Marriott Hotel. And the AMA Board of Directors meeting is on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. The Core Shack provides a showcase for participants of projects that are generating new results, or have not participated in AMA's core shack before, to show off their core and discuss results with interested attendees. Industry professionals interested in displaying core and results from mineral exploration and development projects are invited to present at the Core Shack. In addition, reactivated mines, extensions, or satellite to existing operations are encouraged participants, particularly where new results are generating interest in future development potential of the project. Hand samples, maps, charts, and other technical information are also welcome. The Prospectors’ Tent on Tuesday and Wednesday will again feature independent prospectors or earlyexploration projects displaying their mineral prospects and discoveries. Providing a venue for prospectors to share their discoveries is an important opportunity that may lead to new discoveries, prospects, and partnerships in Alaska. And share the good news of this convention! AMA’s convention posts on social media are intended for you to repost, share with colleagues and friends, and tell others where you're going to be the week of Nov. 6-9. We'd love to see them walk through our tradeshow and support our vendors and sponsors. We hope you enjoy the convention preview we’ve included in these next few pages. New information is updated daily on our website: www. alaskaminers.org/convention. We’ll see you at the Convention! Kevin Adler Convention Committee Chairman Welcome to this year's AMA Convention!
