Day seven (last day) of the SMA GeoVenture began with breakfast at the Delta Bessborough Hotel in Saskatoon followed by a presentation on Diamonds in Saskatchewan presented by Shawn Harvey, Manager of Geology with Shore Gold Inc. Shawn gave an overview of the history of diamonds and spoke about the Fort a la Corne Kimerlite field located in central Saskatchewan.
To wrap up the GeoVenture, Pam and Kate gave a presentation on the Geology of Saskatchewan and Kate demonstrated the Potash Experiment (Potash Solution Mining - Dissolving Potash) one more time for the educators to take back to their classrooms.
Before everyone departed, the participants expressed their appreciation for the education-outreach program organized by SMA. Even though we had a busy schedule traveling across Saskatchewan, it was hard to believe that the week was over.
