In 2008, Geoconferences made a substantial contribution to the Hammond Nisbet Geoscience Fund through the UWA Geoscience Foundation to secure an ongoing position at the Centre for Exploration Targeting.
From 1996 to 2007, Geoconferences was a Major Sponsor of the Australian Student Mineral Venture – West Region (ASMV), a two-week residential program presented by The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to encourage more of Western Australia’s brightest high school students to consider professional careers in the mining industry. The ASMV was hosted by the MINWEST Consortium comprising The University of Western Australia, Murdoch University and Curtin University of Technology, including the WA School of Mines.
