Wednesday at Process Mineralogy '24

The final day began with the third keynote lecture, presented by Anita Parbhakar-Fox, of the University of Queensland, who introduced a mission to reimagine mine waste management. 

Following the keynote were 11 presentations, and two long breaks for coffee and lunch, which gave us a last opportunity to mix with the exhibitors, including three of the conference sponsors, AECI Mining, Zeiss and Petrolab.
There has been much activity all week at the AECI Mining booth, as the South African company has 12 representatives. The company is also a sponsor of Critical Minerals '24 which begins tomorrow.

Cornish company Petrolab is also sponsoring both events, and it was good to talk to Technical Director James Strongman and Principal Mineralogist Corrine Garner in their booth.
Zeiss is a regular sponsor of the Process Mineralogy series, and is represented by Rakesh Patel and Randall Crisp, of Carl Zeiss, South Africa, seen below talking to Bjorn von der Heyden, of Stellenbosch University.

Amanda Wills and Megan Becker closed the conference, Amanda thanking the sponsors once more, as well as the exhibitors, chairpersons, authors and the delegates who have made this such a special event. After inviting everyone to Process Mineralogy '26, the venue as yet not decided, we said all our goodbyes with final drinks in the Vineyard Gardens.

  1. I would like to thank you for the meeting organization. It was a good opportunity for I-Rox to show its technology as well as to be aware of the current problems the mining industry is faced to in terms of mineral processing.

    We learnt a lot during these three days a had very fruitful discussions with so many people.

    So, thank you again and it will be a pleasure to attend the next conferences.
