There is so much going on at SME that I only scratched the surface, which is why I appreciate other people's input.

You just missed the three International Sessions and the International Reception on Tuesday. In fact these sessions are now a characteristic of SME - - no other conference devotes presentations to mining and metallurgical experience in foreign countries. Thanks to the International Committee that has been organizing such events for nearly ten years now. Mining is global and there were very informative papers about China, Russia, Peru, Germany, Iran, Afghanistan, and others.

Many chances to catch up around the exhibit with vendors and old friends. <br /><br />I enjoyed a number of the papers that were part of the 'Water in Mineral Processing - First International Symposium'. Of particular interest were those discussing the impact of water quality on flotation response of Cu-Mo porphyry ores. It seems we are starting to learn more about pulp and froth phase mechanisms. Now, to find some solutions for improving performance in the difficult waters we will increasingly be using.<br /><br />Robert Seitz, Principal Advisor-Processing at Rio Tinto, USA (via LinkedIn SME group)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-73510564323398626682012-02-24T21:14:46.211+00:002012-02-24T21:14:46.211+00:00Thank you for the excellent overview Barry.Thank you for the excellent overview Barry.Sarah Boucauthttp://www.ceecthefuture.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-60604308368310555282012-02-24T21:07:27.753+00:002012-02-24T21:07:27.753+00:00Only because it is close to some great ski resorts...Only because it is close to some great ski resorts!MEIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834780351452765156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-25857688979723602292012-02-24T20:33:44.438+00:002012-02-24T20:33:44.438+00:00Great report Barry, envious I couldn't be ther...Great report Barry, envious I couldn't be there.
