Georges Beaudoin's Agnico Eagle-Eldorado Research Chair in Mineral Exploration (AEM-ELD) has been renewed for a third five-year term. Research activities will be supported by an Alliance grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council in the amount of $2,321,567, as well as financial contributions from the Chair's partners, bringing the total budget to $3,818,470. A world-renowned expert in metallogeny and isotope geochemistry, Professor Beaudoin, from the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, develops exploration methodologies based on indicator minerals in his various research projects. The Chairholder's scientific leadership is already well established, having set up the Centre de recherche sur la géologie et l'ingénierie des ressources minérales (E4m), which he directed from 2015 to 2022. Understanding the formation of gold deposits. An excellent electrical and thermal conductor, gold is a highly sought-after metal due to its resistance to oxidation, a feature that is extremely useful in many industries, including electronics and jewelry.
