MEI's 1st International Symposium on Pyrometallurgy (Pyromet '02) began 20 years ago today. It was organised in collaboration with the Western Cape Branch of the SAIMM, and was sponsored by the University of Queensland's Pyrometallurgy Research Centre, PYROSEARCH. It was held at the Mount Nelson Hotel, situated in the heart of Cape Town, under Table Mountain, and had an attendance of about 40 delegates, representing 11 different countries.
The wine flowed at the conference dinner at South Africa's oldest wine estate, Groot Constantia, and at the wine tasting which preceded it. I'm sure you will recognise some of the people at Groot Constantia in the photos below:

Great memories to recollect, Barry; such smiling faces and my own memories go back to the days I spent in Hunter Valley wine yards in Australia--CHEERS!
ReplyDeleteGood times 👍. Can’t believe it has been two decades Barry!

Yes, the good old days Jacques. Looking forward to getting back to the face-to-face meetings again, our first being Process Mineralogy '22 in November. Hope to catch up again soon.
