Memories of Ultrafine Grinding '06, Falmouth

Ultrafine Grinding '06 was held in Cornwall at the ill-fated Falmouth Beach Resort Hotel, which six years later was destroyed by fire.

The two-day conference was MEI's first ultrafine grinding conference, and was also the last as it was merged into the comminution series two years later.

Attended by 64 delegates from 24 countries, sponsorship was provided by Xstrata Technology, PMT-Jetmill, Saint-Gobain Zirpro, Industrial Minerals and notably Maelgwyn Mineral Services (MMS), sponsoring their first MEI Conference. Since then MMS has regularly supported MEI Conferences, particularly the comminution and flotation series, but others as well. 

Twenty-two papers were presented over the two days and selected papers were published in Volume 20 Issue 4 (2007) of Minerals Engineering.

Photos taken at the event, including a first evening coastal path walk and a final afternoon visit to the Camborne-Redruth historical mining district, are shown below.
