Back to the office!

Back in Falmouth, a few pounds lighter after a fabulous walking holiday in Switzerland.

My long list of emails is dominated by abstracts for the November conferences in Cape Town.  Biohydromet '10 is looking particularly strong, as is Process Mineralogy '10, but it is not too late to submit abstracts, as we will not be making decisions until later this month.  Zinc Processing '10 is a little light, so if you are involved in any aspect of the processing of zinc ores and concentrates, I am sure we will be able to find you a slot.

There has been a large number of submissions to Minerals Engineering over the past couple of weeks, so apologies to all authors for the inevitable delay in clearing the backlog. Hopefully all will be back to normal by mid-week.
