10th 1-2 July 1998. Crossmead Conference Centre, University of Exeter. Organised by Colin Bristow and Peter Scott of Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter on behalf of the IMM. Single field excursion to Westleigh and Hillhead quarries. Some papers published in Trans. IMM (Applied Earth Science). Ca. 170 registrants. An ongoing committee was set up to oversee the organisation of future EIGs; the lack of such a committee had seriously hindered the continuity of the organisation from one EIG to the next, as it had been left to each sponsoring body to set up a new committee each time.

1st 9-10 March 1978 Burlington House, London. Organised by an ad hoc Committee, chaired by Colin Bristow, on behalf of the Geological Society and the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy. The geologists attending the Regional Groups of the newly formed (1977) Institution of Geologists included a sizeable community of geologists working in the 'real' onshore extractive industry in the UK whose interests were poorly catered for by the existing learned societies/professional institutions. This first EIG meeting was an attempt to cater for this group. Two day meeting, ca. 18 papers, with no field excursions, just over 200 attended: it confirmed the need for this type of meeting. Report of the meeting ('Extractive Industry Geology' by P.C. Wright) published in the British Geologist, July 1978. Volume 4, Part 3, pages 67-68.
