The Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of the Urals Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences invites you to take part in the 3^rd International Conference "Mafic-Ultramafic Complexes of Folded Regions and Related Deposits". The Conference will be held in the camping "Chayka" close to Kachkanar, a small town in the Central Urals (Ekaterinburg region), Russia from 28^th August to 2^rd September 2009.

Conference focuses on the following topics:
1) Geology and tectonic settings of mafic-ultramafic complexes: geodynamic interpretation.
2) Petrological, mineralogical and geochemical problems of mafic-ultramafic complexes.
3) Nature of ore concentrations in mafic-ultramafic complexes and their relation to petrogenesis, mantle sources and fluid regimes.
4) Ore deposits in mafic-ultramafic complexes.
5) Isotope geochemistry of mafic-ultramafic complexes and their interpretation.
6) The Urals Platinum Belt and its geological equivalents.
7) The Ophiolite problem.
