Thanks to the profits generated from our conference and the vision and efforts of our board and membership, KEG has been able to develop a very well regarded outreach program over the past decade. We currently invest approximately $35,000 per year, along with countless volunteer hours, to deliver educational activities listed below.
On behalf of the KEG directors, we wish to thank the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) for their ongoing funding and support with our Outreach activities.
