Dr. Ash Johnson, IGS Director, recently attended the 6th Uzbekistan International Mining and Metals Forum in Tashkent. As part of the ‘Critical minerals: sources of innovative transition’ panel, he spoke about ‘Modern government geoscience data in the search for critical minerals’, highlighting the role modern data plays in attracting exploration investment into a country.
The highlights of the presentation included examples from the ongoing Regional Geoscience Programme of the Saudi Geological Survey, for which IGS is serving as the Technical Partner in collaboration with GTK, as well as examples from World Bank-funded projects in Nigeria and Uganda in which IGS is also participating.
