PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

There are three types of presentations:

  1. Oral presentations
  2. Poster presentations
  3. Innovation posters

For the first two options, authors are requested to submit a well elaborated extended abstract (~2 pages) or a longer paper format using the provided template. The primary difference between an extended abstract and paper is that the author will likely only receive research credits for a paper and not for an extended abstract, even though both submissions will be peer reviewed.

For the ‘Innovation Poster’ option, authors are requested to submit a one (max 2) page including a figure or image/graphic using the provided template. Such innovation abstracts will be oriented technologies and solutions at any Technological Readiness Levels. They are as such expected to be more commercial in nature. But they can’t be solely a promotional material. Acceptance or otherwise of abstracts will be done at the sole discretion of the Organising Committee whose decision is final. The posters will be displayed in the Special Session ‘Innovations & Investment Alley’ at the conference venue. The main author, or her/his nominated party, of an accepted abstract will be presented with the opportunity to also present a 5 min ‘Speed Talk’ of her/his innovation.

 

 

 

In order to allow for a fair peer review process, authors are requested to submit by 30 April 2026. If papers are submitted after the deadline, they might be considered for poster only at the discretion of the Organising Committee whose decision is final.

Authors will be notified within one month of whether their submission has been accepted.

Abstracts are to be submitted as Microsoft Word documents using the SAGA specified formats only.

The abstract templates are available for download to assist you in this task. All authors are requested to use this template and adhere to the guidelines – failure to do so will result in rejection of the abstract or request for resubmission.

  • For Oral and Poster Presentations – Abstracts must be a minimum of two pages and a maximum of six pages, including figures.
  • For Innovation Posters – Abstracts must be one to max 2 pages including a figure or image/graphic.
  • Abstracts must be text, in English, with legible graphics embedded.
  • Abstracts must be submitted as a .doc or .docx file only. Documents will be converted to pdf once submitted.
  • Use the following naming convention for the submitted file: [SAGA2026]_[SurnameFirstInitial]_[Title]_[Oral/Poster/Innov].doc (or .docx)

Example: SAGA2026_MoyoL_Basins_Oral.docx

Abstracts may be submitted for the following channels:

Oral presentation

  • Speakers will have a 15 min presentation slot with 12-13 min for the presentation and 2-3 min for questions.
  • Keynote speakers will have a 30 min presentation slot, 25 min for the presentation and 5 min for questions.
  • Your presentation needs to be in .ppt using the 16:9 ratio (landscape)
  • Please rehearse your presentation to make sure you don’t go over the allocated time slot given. Presentations (.ppt) need to be uploaded near the Registration Desk during the Welcome Function on 12 October 2026.  You are also welcome to email them to abstracts@sagaconference.co.za ahead of time.

Each presenting author must register and pay to attend the Conference. On submission, the author(s) must indicate whether or not they agree to publish the abstract in all Conference publications/proceedings including via the website. Successful abstracts must be presented by the author(s) or a nominated party. Acceptance or otherwise is at the discretion of the Organising Committee whose decision is final. Authors must pay their own accommodation, travel, incidentals. Should no presenter be available for the Conference the abstract will be removed from the proceedings.

Bell Geospace has been at the forefront of Gravity Gradiometry for over 30 years. Bell Geospace provides exploration companies with Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) and magnetic data to enhance sub-surface models and de-risk exploration projects.

Explore Province to Play, Efficiently
Airborne geophysics with FTG allows fast screening and ranking of prospective areas at the province and district scale, de-risking ground exploration at prospect and play scale. Accurate and informative data enhances existing complementary data and fine tunes a strategy for future acquisition.

African Gold Exploration
Bell Geo's FTG, gravity and magnetic data acquisition technology is especially good at locating contact zones and faults, suitable for finding the mineralized geology which hosts gold. Bell Geo’s most recent gold exploration project took place in West Africa. Gaud Pouliquen and Colm Murphy can share more details about this in person at SAGA.
Energy-Metals Exploration in Africa
Geoscientific methods are more critical than ever for energy-supply sustainability. Structural and lithological information to demystify subsurface mineral systems is required on a new, larger scale. If you're exploring in the Kalahari and Zambian copper belt, ask us at SAGA about Bell Geo’s experience in Botswana, Zambia, South Africa... and beyond.

New Interpretation Methods
The mines of tomorrow are hidden beneath layers of sedimentary cover or nestled as subtle extensions to known deposits. While traditional airborne geophysics excel in detecting metal deposits near the surface, they struggle when encountering deeper targets or non-magnetic geological trends.

Exploration teams seek to deploy high-resolution technologies on surveys with closely spaced lines or stations covering extensive areas. These surveys should capture a broad signal bandwidth to map the deeper extensions and connectivity with shallow structures effectively. However, such practices are not always feasible due to challenging terrain, including water bodies, vegetation, restricted access, or the significant time and budget required to acquire such data across large areas. Bell Geospace's FTG technology overcomes many of these limitations. With our latest workflows, signal bandwidth resolves shallow complexity and allows confident mapping at depth and will deliver geological structures and shapes within a given depth interval/window.

Loupe Geophysics

Loupe Geophysics has developed a novel, backpack-mounted, time-domain, electromagnetic system for measurement in the near-surface.  Loupe was initially envisaged as a system for environmental, engineering and shallow groundwater applications.  However, in the past 4 years Loupe has been widely used in reconnaissance mineral exploration and a myriad of other applications.  Some specialist studies using Loupe are void mapping, UXO detection and mapping of seepage from, and variability of sediments within, tailings storage facilities.

VISION OF SAMERDI

“To maximise the returns of South Africa’s mineral wealth through collaborative, sustainable research, development, innovation and implementation of mining technologies in a socially, environmentally and financially responsible manner that is rooted in the wellbeing of local communities and the national economy.”

THE MANDELA MINING PRECINCT,

officially opened on 4 May 2018, provides the opportunity to have a community of researchers working together in the same space on related subjects both from an inter- and intra-organisational perspective.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN MINING EXTRACTION, RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION (SAMERDI) STRATEGY

The SAMERDI Strategy, as an outcome of the Mining Phakisa, provides a roadmap on how to work collectively towards technological solutions that will increase safety and productivity, and reduce costs to ultimately extend the life of mines by:

Improving the competitiveness of the sector and creating new opportunities for South African based companies to operate in areas along the entire value chain; and

Reposition South Africa as the world leader in mining RD&I by building human resource skills, capabilities, and capacities across industry, academia and the science councils, ensuring its sustainability.

The SAMERDI Strategy provides a roadmap on working collectively towards technological solutions that will increase safety and productivity, reduce costs, and ultimately extend the life of mines.

Thus the implementation of the SAMERDI strategy through collaboration and support from researchers (science councils and academia), government depart­ments, mining houses (individually and collectively), and organised labour unions can be the solution to the chal­lenges that beset the mining sector.
