Haddon Forrester King Medal Lecture
Professor Murray Hitzman is the recipient of the 2016 Haddon Forrester King Medal and Lecture and will be presenting this, one of a series of Haddon Forrester King lectures across Australia.
The Haddon Forrester King Medal and lecture is one of the Australian Academy of Science’s prestigious career awards for life-long achievement and outstanding contribution to science. The award recognises the contributions of the late Haddon Forrester King whose work applied the geological and related sciences to the search for mineral deposits in Australia and elsewhere.
About the speaker
Professor Hitzman is one of the world’s leading mineral deposits scientists. He has distinguished himself as a first class researcher, an outstanding educator, a successful mine discoverer and developer, and an influential scientific advisor to government. The foundation of his achievements has been careful field studies of many different types of mineral deposits and insightful interpretations based on an excellent understanding of the physics and chemistry of mineral formation. His outstanding record of success includes the discovery and development of the Lisheen lead-zinc mine in the Republic of Ireland, his leadership role in the recognition and characterisation of a new type of mineral deposit—the iron-oxide copper gold or IOCG type—and his new ideas on the origin of the sediment hosted copper deposits of Central Africa. His work is having a growing impact globally on 21st century mineral exploration.
