Technical session topics include:
- Advancements in Industrial Mineral Technology
- Geology of Industrial Minerals

The Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals 
Hi,
Several issues are a little unclear. Would registration and fees be paid to the AEG or to the Forum? What is the registration fee? What is the format, length, etc. for abstracts? Would there be any trips to operating mines or just an excursion through western NC geology?
Thank you.
