The ASMV will appeal to senior high school students with an interest in biology, chemistry, geology, physics or mathematics and with a sense of adventure and a desire to travel.

The ASMV is a 12 day tour of the southern Australian states visiting a number of universities, research institutes and mine sites. Participants will be offered many opportunities to engage in hands-on activities, live and travel with young industry graduates, discuss courses with current students, meet industry professionals and discover the variety offered by a minerals industry career and lifestyle.

Invest in your future - this will be the best 12-day vacation you've ever had!
