Comminution '23 is now only 4 months away and we have now announced a very fine technical programme.

Current Comminution '23 sponsors

Tega Industries Ltd is an Indian multinational corporation with operations spanning across 16 countries and employing 1600 people worldwide, and was founded in 1976 in Kolkata. It will be the first time that the company has been involved with an MEI conference.

Tega’s primary end-user customers are mineral processing sites involved in gold and copper ore mining. The company is the second-largest producer of polymer-based mill liners that are used for grinding and sizing mineral ores.

In contrast to Tega, ProMet101 has been a prolific sponsor of many MEI Conferences in recent years, including numerous flotation events, including next year's Flotation '23, IntegratedMinPro22, Process Mineralogy '22 and Sustainable Minerals '22. Promet101 will also be sponsoring next year's Sustainable Minerals '23 in Falmouth.

Promet101 consulting supports its clients from the initial conceptual stages of projects, right through to ongoing support in plant debottlenecking and optimisation, focusing on understanding the fundamental mineralogy, metallurgical response of the mineral resources to be treated, subsequent development of suitable metallurgical test programs, detailed metallurgical analysis combined with decades of experience in the design and optimisation of real world minerals processing plant.

CEO and founder Stuart Saich said "So why does a small company like ours continue to support MEI? Well if you think carefully about it, how much effort is put into developing a technical paper? 100 or 200 hours per paper? Then what about the costs involved? By supporting MEI you are supporting a platform for the advancement of our own industry by willing individuals to advance the scientific knowledge of the very industry we belong to. What is the inherent intellectual value or investment into the knowledge base of each conference at which say 100 technical papers are presented? I would say $1-2 million a piece. And from that investment springs further value growth as ideas advance and commercialisation grows. Why do we invest in supporting MEI every year, because it makes absolute sense! It is not about me, it is about our industry!"
