Geological Society of Nevada Symposium, May 2005
Nugget Casino, Sparks, Nevada

This year I attended the big Geological Society of Nevada Symposium.
 It was AMAZING how many people were there!

The entrance to the
2005 GSN symposium.
This event occurs once
every 5 years and
constitutes one of the
largest gatherings of economic/ore geologists in the United States.
Over 1,000 registered participants attended!
Many of the world's greatest gold mining companies exhibited maps
and diagrams of their latest
projects and discoveries
I was very happy to have my friends
Russ Rizzo (Cal-Neva Minerals)
and Ed Christensen
(Of Peterson Mountain scepter fame) helping me to set up my sales booth
Here Ed and I pose for posterity
Forrest Cureton (Cureton Minerals), Marcus Johnston (Apex Minerals), Jean Cline (U of NV at Las Vegas), and Ed pose for a great shot!
The CGS girls next booth to me
were always fun to visit with
One of the finest-ever public displays of Nevada minerals greeted the participants of this symposium.  Many of Nevada's best collectors and  museums contributed.  I am proud to offer detailed pictures of this  historic display-
