Following a strong showing last year PROSPEX continues to deliver. It provides an excellent forum to promote and showcase exploration opportunities in the UK and adjacent areas. Given its attendees and programme, PROSPEX is also a great opportunity to network and catch-up with friends old and new.

There is no doubt that the industry current faces significant challenges, especially regarding ‘discretionary’ exploration spend. Despite this, UK exploration commercial success rates have been the highest for over a decade, and in 2015, the UK delivered the same volume of new resources through the drill-bit as Norway (Hannon Westwood). All the more reason to book your place or booth at this year’s prospects fair!

I much look forward to seeing you all at PROSPEX 2016.
