There was a fairly small turnout last night for the final mining sundowner of the year. Among the 20 or so who joined us in Falmouth's Chain Locker pub were
Dr. Klaas van der Wielen (1st left in photo below). Klaas will be in Cape Town in April, representing Swiss company
SELFRAG, one of the sponsors of
Comminution '14. 3rd left in the photo is mineralogist
Steve Pendray, who has been in charge of thin-section preparation at CSM for the past 28 years.
Next to Jon are consultant biohydrometallurgists
Dr. Chris Bryan and
Dr. Dave Dew. After leaving CSM with a PhD in 1982, Dave made a name for himself in South Africa, but now lives in Cornwall and is an independent consultant. He will be at
Biohydrometallurgy '14 in June, as will Chris, a CSM lecturer, who is one of MEI's three biohydrometallurgy consultants.
It was also good to see
Paul Burton, Managing Director of
Piran Mining Research, who was in his final year at CSM when I joined in 1974, Also our old friend
Bentley Orchard, a hydrocyclone specialist, who many people will know from his time at
Richard Mozley Ltd.
It was also good to catch up with
Al Cropp, one half of the
MinAssist mineralogy team. Al runs the Cornwall office, the Australian end being run by
Will Goodall.
