Twenty years ago this month the Hilton Hotel, Brisbane, Australia was the venue for MEI's inaugural Automated Mineralogy '06, a follow up to Applied Mineralogy '03 in Helsinki three years earlier. Organised in collaboration with Intellection with media partner the Gold & Minerals Gazette, this was the first of three annual conferences held in Brisbane, before evolving into Process Mineralogy '10 in Cape Town.
Automated Mineralogy '06 brought together professionals concerned with the analysis and interpretation of mineralogical data using automated techniques, as well those involved with the development of hardware and software solutions to aid automated mineralogical analysis. The meeting attracted a wide spectrum of attendees including mineralogists, geologists, microscopists, process and mining engineers, analysts, business managers, and consultants. A total of 90 delegates representing nine countries attended the two-day conference at which 27 technical presentations plus exhibits from a number of key institutions and equipment suppliers, kept delegates informed. A full report was kindly supplied by Mark Pownceby, of CSIRO Minerals and selected papers were published in Volume 16 Issue 11 of Minerals Engineering.
