FIELD TRIPS (dates, area visited, field trip leaders, numbers of participants, sponsors, benefits for students) 2 nd to 9 th April, 2017: I FIELD TRIP SEG UNMSM SEG UNAL SEG UCE, ECUADOR 2017

7 Summary: In this field trip we participate student members of the SEG UNMSM Perú, SEG UNAL Colombia and SEG UCE Ecuador. We visited the strategic mining projects of Ecuador like: FRUTA DEL NORTE (low-intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposit) and MIRADOR (porphyry Cu-Mo deposit) in the Zamora province, EL DOMO (volcanic massive sulphide deposit) in the Bolívar province, LOMA LARGA (high sulfidation epithermal deposit) in the Azuay province and the mining district ZARUMA- PORTOVELO, which consists of a system of polymetallic hydrothermal veins. Field Trip Leaders: Msc. Marcelo Llerena, Msc. William Arteaga and Msc. Israel Sangay and Evelyn Caiza (President SEG Student Chapter UCE-FIGEMPA) Numbers of participants: SEG-UNMSM Student Members (7 participants), SEG-UNAL Student Members (6 participant) and SEG-UCE Student Members (10 participants) Benefits for students: know the type of deposit, the methods of exploration used, future plans of the deposit, characteristics of the surrounding geological terrain and social aspects. In addition, drill core observation and logging was carried out. Fig. 3 Visit to the mining project EL DOMO

10 23th to 29 th July, 2017: II FIELD TRIP SEG UNAL SEG UCE-FIGEMPA, COLOMBIA 2017 Summary: In this field trip we participate student members of the SEG UNAL Colombia and SEG UCE Ecuador. We visited projects located in the Northern Andes of Colombia. These deposits are part of the Middle Cauca Belt related to magmatism during the Miocene, like: GRAMALOTE (IRGS Intrusion related gold system deposit), NUEVO CHAQUIRO (porphyry Au-Cu deposit), EL ROBLE (volcanic massive sulphide deposit), BURITICA (intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposit) in the Medellín department, we also visited the MINERALOGY LABORATORY of UNAL sede Medellín. Field Trip Leaders: Luis Felipe Mahecha (President SEG Student Chapter UNAL-Bogotá) Numbers of participants: SEG-UCE Student Members (7 participants) Benefits for students: Visit the mine, observe drill core, and learn to recognize altering minerals and its relation with geological characteristics of the deposit.

ORGANIZATION OF CONFERENCE, WORKSHOPS, SHORT COURSE (theme, number of participants, benefits for students) CONFERENCE 28 th April, 2017: LATEST ADVANCES IN THE AU-CU CASCABEL PROJECT NEW WORLD CLASS DEPOSIT This conference was given by Jason Thomas Ward - General Manager of SoldGold in Ecuador and member of the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG). He talked about the geology of the project, exploration campaigns, mineralization and areas of alteration of the deposit and themes related to social and environmental aspects. Number of participants: 200 participants

Number of participants: All SEG-UCE Student Members 9 th August, 2017: Conference cycle Future of mining exploration by SEG Student Chapter EPN (Escuela Politécnica Nacional)

15 Summary: The event was attended by students of geology from all universities in Ecuador and representatives of the mining industry, the purpose of this conference was to know the future that is expected from mining in Ecuador. It was attended by Javier Córdova (Minister of Mining of Ecuador), Jorge Lema (Exploration Manager of Lundin Gold) and Dan Wood (Professor of Queensland University Australia). Number of participants: SEG-UCE Student Members (5 participants) Fig. 15 Conference cycle Future of mining exploration SHORT COURSE 25 th 28 th September, 2017: Practical applications of geochemistry to mining exploration, hydrothermal processes and supergenes processes by William Chávez and GEOMINESUR Summary: In this course we dealt with the hypogenic and supergene processes of the different types of mineral deposits, by means of a check of drilling cores, it was possible

16 to clearly define zones of alteration according to mineralogical assemblies. We also visited the high-sulfidation epithermal deposit LOMA LARGA. The organization of the course was carried out by GEOMINESUR Cia. Ltda. Number of participants: SEG-UCE Student Members (3 participants) Fig. 16 Short course of applications of geochemistry to mining exploration by William Chávez 7.
