Twenty years ago today

Our first ever conference in Cape Town started 20 years ago today at the Cape Sun Hotel. Minerals Engineering ’93 was organised in collaboration with the Universities of Cape Town and Stellenbosch, and the Western Cape Branch of the South African IMM and you may recognise a few familiar faces in the photo of the organising committee below.

More details on the conference can be found on the posting of 27 October 2010.
