Process Mineralogy '22: Call for Abstracts

After a 4-year break due to the pandemic, we are pleased to announce that the Process Mineralogy series of conferences will resume in November. Process Mineralogy '22 will be the 6th in the series and will be the first MEI Conference at a brand new venue, the Melia Hotel, Sitges, Spain


Process Mineralogy '22 will be MEI's first face-to-face conference since the start of the pandemic. We are well known for face-to-face events but unfortunately the pandemic brought these to an abrupt halt and last year we successfully ran four conferences purely online. 

Online platforms are fine but do not capture the social interaction side of conferences, which serve an important function, particularly for early career researchers. Presentations in Sitges will be recorded and available on demand to all delegates. For those who are unable to attend the conference for any reason these recordings will also be available for a reduced fee. 

Abstracts are now invited for the conference, the deadline being the end of May.

The 3-day conference, November 2-4, will deal with the following topics:

  • Quantitative mineralogy, including both X-ray and Electron Beam Techniques
  • Geometallurgy
  • Ore characterisation
  • Mineral Liberation and Textural Analysis
  • Application of process mineralogy on site
  • Sampling and Statistics
  • Advanced Process Control

If you are unsure about attending, why not check out the technical programmes, reports, photos, delegate lists etc from previous events.

Sitges is a coastal town in Spain's Catalonia region, southwest of Barcelona, backed by the mountainous Parc Natural del Garraf. It is known for its Mediterranean beaches and seafront promenade and its old town and surrounding streets filled with shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It is only a 25 minutes train journey from Barcelona International Airport, and 35 minutes from the centre of Barcelona.



We are indebted to our current sponsors, Bruker, Zeiss and Promet101, and our media partner, International Mining, for their support, and to our consultant Dr. Megan Becker, of the University of Cape Town.
