6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 From: Adam Curry <accurry3@xxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to our session, "Tapping into magmas for the building blocks of the renewable energy infrastructure: from petrogenesis to exploration," in Theme 4: Minerals for the energy transition, at IAVCEI 2025 in Geneva Switzerland. The abstract submission deadline is 20 December 2024 (online at https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavcei2025sa/abstracts/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!a45pnxO047iQVA4KSeEJNSGQUi5Nut_XzrGY3ZAsMlVQmf7U0am9nrGLZjZVouWxJdQtMNmDWzXVc18IsaA1AHgB_A$>). Please see session description below. Sincerely, Adam Curry Session Title: Tapping into magmas for the building blocks of the renewable energy infrastructure: from petrogenesis to exploration Session Description: The transition to a renewable energy economy requires an increased supply of critical metals, including Li, Co, Ni, PGEs, Cu, and REEs, to build the necessary infrastructure including wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles, and energy storage. The projected steep increase in their demand in coming decades necessitates an expansion of exploration activities and the opening of new mines. A detailed understanding of the complex chemical and physical processes occurring over varied timescales in magmatic systems leading to ore formation has the potential to guide this exploration effort. We invite contributions that explore the evolution of magmatic systems and the genesis of their associated mineral deposits, and how such knowledge can be effectively transferred into mineral exploration programs globally using traditional and novel methods.
