Appropriately on International Women's Day, I would like to offer, on behalf of MEI, many congratulations to Frances Wall, a Professor of Applied Mineralogy at the Camborne School of Mines, and a former Director of CSM, who has been awarded the Geological Society of London’s William Smith Medal for 2019, the first ever female recipient.
Frances was a keynote speaker at last year's Process Mineralogy '18 in Cape Town, and the award recognises her distinguished achievement in the field of applied geology.

The William Smith Medal is given for international excellence in contributions to applied and economic aspects of geoscience. Professor Wall said: “The award is a testament to the dedication and inventive work carried out by colleagues at the Camborne School of Mines and collaborating national and international partners. Our recent work on responsible supply of raw materials for clean technologies has been an exciting journey combining geology skills with other research disciplines and working with industry partners."
Professor Wall will receive the award at a special ceremony to mark the Society’s President’s Day on June 6th.
