Summary

The Roy Woodall Medal was established in 2020 by the Australian Geosciences Council. First awarded in 2021, the Medal recognises scientific excellence in both mineral exploration and the documentation of world-class mineral deposits. The intention is to acknowledge individuals who seek to emulate Woodall's contribution to the mineral industry by applying the best science to the endeavours of mineral exploration and the documentation of mineral deposits. Roy Woodall worked for Western Mining Corporation for over 40 years, contributing significantly to the opening of new mineral fields (notably the Darling Range Bauxite Province, the Kambalda Nickel District, the Olympic Dam Copper-Gold-Uranium deposit and the St Ives Gold Camp), and leaving a lasting legacy of improved scientific methodologies and exploration successes.
