Following the welcome reception of 20 years ago this month (posting of 11th September) the 2003 IMPC was attended by approximately 620 delegates from 44 countries. The technical programme consisted of five plenary sessions and eight keynote presentations, each followed by three parallel sessions. In the plenary sessions Brian Gilbertson gave an in-depth analysis of globalisation in the mining industry, Jim Finch discussed the future of mineral processing education and Robin Batterham presented his views on the mine of the future. Richard Williams discussed the impact of fundamental research on future mineral processing operations and Jannie van Deventer discussed sustainability in the minerals industry.
Supplementing the technical sessions was a record number of exhibitors of equipment and services and some of the photos taken at the exhibition are shown below.
