Magmatic ore deposits encompass some of the world\u2019s most valuable accumulations of critical metals, vital to the future green economy.<\/p>\r\n

The International Symposium on Mafic-Ultramafic Mineral Systems 2026<\/strong> (ISMUMS2026) is the next in a series of conferences relating primarily to magmatic sulfide mineral systems that started over 50 years ago. A total of 30 meetings have been held in Canada, Australia, UK, USA, Russia, China, Finland, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Conventionally these meetings have alternated on a two-yearly basis between International Ni-Cu Symposia<\/strong><\/span> and International Platinum Symposia<\/strong><\/span>, with the prime focus of the latter being on platinum group element-dominant deposits in layered intrusions. \u00a0Over the years the scope of these two themes has converged, to the point where the 2026 meeting will encompass all mineral systems associated with mafic and ultramafic rocks, but with a prime emphasis on the PGEs. To read more about the community visit the MAGSUL<\/a> website.<\/p>\r\n

The symposium aims to connect all researchers, students and industry<\/strong> who focus on these Mafic-Ultramafic systems including their genesis and potential to form ore of critical commodities (Ni, Cu, Co, PGE, V, Ti, Cr).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The symposium will be held from Monday 29 June 2026 to Friday 03 July 2026<\/span><\/strong> in Perth, Western Australia.<\/p>\r\n

The program will consist of 3 days of talks interwoven with 2 days of field trips. Please visit the scientific program<\/a> page to see all the session details.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Field trips and Workshops<\/a> will be run before and after the symposia including the Wager and Brown Layered Intrusion Workshop which runs Sunday 28 June. CSIRO, Perth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Abstracts for ISMUMS2026 closed on Monday 9th February 2026<\/strong> and the registration portal closed on the 21st June 2026<\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\r\n

Ticket sales will not<\/strong><\/span> be available at the door.<\/em><\/p>\r\n
