The School of Geosciences (room G101), University of the Witwatersrand invites any interested individuals to attend and/or present their experiences dealing with‘lamprophyric’ dykes in a mining environment. This is a casual and open access workshop. We welcomediscussion and talks on mine health and safety, and mitigation and remediation around gas outbursts andfalls of ground. The workshop will have a flexible timetable to maximize networking and discussion  ler time.Depending on interest, we may also display a range of ‘lamprophyric’ samples to aid recognition andreporting. The invitation is open to all within industry from any background – geologists, engineers andventilation personnel alike. We hope that the workshop will be attended by personnel from a range ofBushveld-based mining companies, diamond mining companies, consultants and academics.
