MEI Online Update #427

Hello Everyone,

In case you didn't see the last newsletter, here is a reminder of what's happened: Our subscriber list host, Topica, seems to have disappeared from the face of the internet with no warning. This means that we did not have time to retrieve our most current subscriber list from their servers.

Rather than risk spamming people who are on our old list, we have taken the decision to build up our subscriber list from scratch. If you wish to be added/re-added to the list, please email amanda@min-eng.com with the subject line: email list.

Whilst we build our list back up, the newsletter will be posted on the MEI Blog, MEI's LinkedIn page and anywhere else I can find for it!

For those of you reading who weren't subscribers, MEI Online Update is produced every 2 weeks and contains links to every new item added to MEI Online since the last issue - apart from jobs, which are listed in a separate email.

And in other news, there have been new additions to the Process Mineralogy '18 and Hi-Tech Metals '18 programmes, and there are only 3 booths left at the Process Mineralogy '18 exhibition. Please email Jon@min-eng.com for more details.

I mentioned in the last newsletter that Wolf Minerals would be running a trip to their Drakelands Mine following Physical Separation '19, and am happy to say that Barry will be blogging the details on Monday.

Barry's Blog:
* The Opening of the Newly Expanded Mineral Processing Facilities at Wardell Armstrong
* ‘The war on waste’: How could the mining industry respond?
* International chemical company Clariant to sponsor Flotation '19
* Last of the summer sundowners
* Major IMPC Awards to two distinguished American Professors
* How were your first two days at the Moscow IMPC?
* Conference nostalgia: Minerals Engineering '98 in Edinburgh
* The Starkeys call in en route to Moscow
* Exploring Cornwall's mining heritage with the Julian Baring Scholarship Fund
