The Fiji country-level training workshop on Geo-data digitization and mapping of Development Minerals was held together with the Pacific Regional training workshop on Geo-data digitization and mapping that took place from 23 April-04 May 2018, at the Pacific Community (SPC) premises in Suva. A total of 13 participants drawn from geological institutions as well as academia in the geo-sciences took part in this 11-day training. Similar to the other geo-data and mapping trainings that incorporated a practical hands-on training component, a field excursion was organized to collect field data and practice reserves estimation on 28th and 29th April. The data collected during the field visit was used for practical teaching exercises undertaken in the second week of the training, to ensure that they key skills and concepts were effectively mastered.

A geo-data map/inventory is under preparation as a result of the training workshop.
