The topics of symposium will focus on metallogeny and exploration techniques of placer deposits related to paleochannels, and it will provide an opportunity to share the progress and exchange data within framework of the project, also to discuss how to do final stage work and plan future study well. In addition, a field trip will be organized to visit tin placer deposit in Dachang, one of the largest tin mineralization field in the world, and other geologically interesting points in Guangxi Autonomous Region, China.
