A pleasant evening with JKTech

After a long and fruitful day at Procemin '13 it was good to stroll into downtown Santiago this evening for a reception hosted by Sarah Schwarz and Diana Drinkwater of the JKTech.

Sarah relocated to Santiago from Brisbane 18 months ago, and it was great to hear how she and her family have settled into their new life in Chile. Sarah and Office Manager Claudia Maturana Pino run the Chilean office of JKTech.

Congratulations to Diana, the Technical Programme Manager for the JKTech in their main Brisbane headquarters. Yesterday she became the first woman to be elected to the International Mineral Processing Council. This is richly deserved; Diana is dynamic and a great networker and will be a tremendous asset to the IMPC. She embraces modern social media such as LinkedIn and Facebook, all of which help to promote our industry, particularly to young people.
