Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that a scientific session (P54) entitled "Carbonatites and ores exploitation: a new frontier in geosciences" is planned to the next Congress in Geoscience at Potenza (Italy).

This session welcomes review of the updated study and innovative studies that present insights about the multiple processes of interest to carbonatite magmatism and its petrogenesis. Contributions exploring the REE mineralisation processes in terms of puzzling peculiar mineralogical features, exploration, exploitation and recycling of these valuable resources, for a more sustainable high-tech future, are particularly welcomed.

We encourage you to submit your works to obtain a high percentage of participation in this session. The submission deadline is planned for 6th May 2023.

Information, costs, and submission instructions for authors can be found at the following link: https://www.geoscienze.org/potenza2023/

Looking forward to your participation.

Best regards,

Professors Francesco Stoppa and Gianluigi Rosatelli

Drs. Gabriele Carnevale and Maria Grazia Perna
