Join us in beautiful Falmouth for Biomining '23

The programme for Biomining '23 is now online and we are pleased that over the two days of this, MEI's 11th Symposium on Biomining, around 40 papers will be presented, with authors from 15 countries, including two high profile keynotes. Axel Schippers, of the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources, Germany, will discuss the various process options offered by biohydrometallurgy for metal recovery from primary and secondary resources, and Karen Hudson-Edwards, of the University of Exeter, UK, will examine biomining's role in the production of technology metals for a green future.

The conference will be held in Falmouth's National Maritime Museum with its wonderful views of the harbour and old Falmouth and on the first evening delegates can relax with a guided coastal path walk, ending up with drinks at the famous Chain Locker pub.

This will be a welcome return to Falmouth, as it will be our first face to face event in Cornwall since 2019. Biohydrometallurgy '18 was held in Namibia, and Biomining '21 was online due to the pandemic.

We would like to thank our media partners International Mining and Minerals Engineering, and industry advocate the Critical Minerals Association, and our consultants Prof. Sue Harrison and Dr. Chris Bryan.
