Xstrata's view of MEI Conferences

A special thankyou to Dr. Norman Lotter, of Xstrata Process Support, Canada, who has sent me this email regarding the company's support of MEI Conferences:


Xstrata Process Support (XPS) have sponsored MEI’s Flotation ’07 in Cape Town, South Africa, and more recently, their Nickel Processing ’10 held in Falmouth, Cornwall.

The international representation by the delegates and presenting authors delivers relevant conference papers and subsequent peer-reviewed proceedings and transactions in Minerals Engineering at an excellent standard for which MEI has long been known, and more recently, awarded an A* rating and a high impact factor amongst a comparative rating between all mineral processing and related journals. This provides an ongoing archival reference journal of very high value.

As importantly, the networking dynamic in these conferences is very engaging and offers a great opportunity for technical and business discussions between academics, operations and project managers, and technical service providers. Although these conferences are never large, it is who attends that counts. And in Nickel Processing ’10, this was no exception.
