The BMR Symposia are annual events stressing work relevant to industry. The Sixth Symposium was held in Canberra between 3 and 5 May 1977, and was officially opened by the Minister for Science, Senator the Hon. J.J. Webster. On 3 and 4 May, sessions were held at the Academy of Science Building. Talks presented, abstracts of which are given below, included results of completed projects, of work in progress, and some more general topics. A panel discussion, entitled What maps are needed now? was held on earth-science maps in Australia. The contributions of the members of the panel, and an edited version of the discussion, will be published in the December Issue of this Journal. An innovation this year was a one-day workshop, held at the Administration Building of CSIRO on 5 May 1977; the subject was the Pine Creek Geosyncline. Specific topics were discussed under broad headings of regional studies, uranium mineralization, and mapping and exploration techniques. 140 were present at the workshop, many of whom took part in discussion.
