Traditional October field-trip (10th-13th, 2015) of the SGA Student Chapter Prague was this year dedicated to mineral deposits of Poland.
Main attractions of this four-day field trip were underground visits to the two active mines – Pomorzany mine (Pb-Zn, Mississippi valley type deposit) and Polkowice-Sieroszowice mine (Cu, Kupferschiefer type deposit) run by the KGHM Company. We have also visited the famous salt mine Wieliczka and the historical city Krakow.

This trip would not be possible without the amazing help of the former SGA Baltic Chapter president Joanna Kolodziejczyk and we would like to thank her a lot for her help and effort she put into this. Also we would like to thank to Władysław Zygo and Jaroslav Prsek for accompanying us at the mine visits and to KGHM Company for making the underground visit possible.
