THE CONFERENCE CALLER: The organisers of the Gold Investment Symposium to be held in October will be awarding two new Awards to the precious metals sector: One for the mining industry, and one for the bullion industry.
The Gavin Thomas Mining Award

Thomas was a brilliant geologist and a passionate advocate of the mining industry.
He was declared a mining legend by his peers in 2005.

The award recipient will be selected by a judging panel in association with Symposium.
