AGES
AGES is a technical exploration-focused conference featuring presentations from the NT Geological Survey, its partners and the exploration industry on new geoscience and latest exploration results from across the NT. The event provides a unique opportunity to access the latest in fresh exploration ideas and geoscientific data from the Territory, and to network with colleagues who share an interest in the discovery and development of the Territory’s minerals and energy resources.
