Dear Colleagues

A new geoscience award has been announced. I did not tunnel all the way through 
the application but it seems that while the nominator and referees need to 
belong to one of sponsoring groups, the potential receipt does not. I am sure 
Kim will tell me if this is not the case.

Regards/Ken

Nominations are now open for the  
<https://www.agc.org.au/geoscience-in-australia/roy-woodall-medal/> Roy Woodall 
Medal.

The Roy Woodall Medal seeks to recognise scientific excellence in both mineral 
exploration and the documentation of world-class mineral deposits. It is 
organised by the Australian Geoscience Council.

This award honours the extensive contribution to scientific excellence in 
Mineral Geoscience that Roy Woodall AO has made over his lifetime. Roy 
Woodall’s high scientific standards, innovative approach to exploration and use 
of the latest geoscientific techniques have left a enormous and lasting legacy 
of improved scientific methodologies and exploration successes. The WMC team 
under Roy’s leadership made many world class discoveries in Australia, several 
of which opened up entire new mineral provinces. The most notable of these 
include the Darling Range Bauxite Province, the Kambalda Nickel District, the 
Olympic Dam Copper-Gold-Uranium deposit and the St Ives Gold Camp. More 
importantly than even these discoveries, Roy’s dedication to the training and 
mentorship of other geoscientists has advanced the capabilities of Australia’s 
mining and exploration industries and the development of our nation.

This intention of this award is to recognise those individuals that seek to 
emulate Roy’s contribution to the mineral industry by applying the best science 
to the endeavours of mineral exploration and the documentation of world-class 
mineral deposits. The goal of this is to encourage the ethos of scientific 
excellence that Roy was such a strong advocate for.

The Australian Geoscience Council is now calling for nominations for the 
inaugural award of the Roy Woodall Medal. Nominations will be required to 
provide a succinct overview of the achievements and successes of their nominee. 
Nominations should also provide evidence of how the nominee stands out above 
other geoscientists as a rightful recipient of this award. The nominations 
should include three referees, separate to the nominators, prepared to support 
the nomination for this award.
