The gap gap between the geologist to metallurgist must be minimised else the exploration will be exploitation....<br />There must be a knowledge bank /expertise let it be Mineral or Machine, plant or pilot level should be formed or made available will help the new researchers to move forward rather than reviewing the past...Ramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454365881284391779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-83641045071599800122018-06-27T08:25:53.793+01:002018-06-27T08:25:53.793+01:00Well written piece on the key place of mining/mine...Well written piece on the key place of mining/mineral processing in sustaining our rapidly changing technological world.

Very interesting read. Thank you for sharing this. Hopefully we can advance our recycling efforts enough to be able to properly recycle all metals from most materials.

The challenges are so well identified. Yes,ores are FINITE AND NON RENEWABLE which means we have to attempt to recover the last grain during processing. We can not afford to throw values into tailings because of limitation of technologies and costs .Sustainability also means that we must leave some for next generation. My point is that,as mentioned in the Blog, we need a paradigm shift in our thinking of mineral industry. It should not be looked as "profit making business".It is conservation of finite resource.Governments have to look at this activity through a proper prism and may have to change their policies to ensure conservation. Scientists and mineral engineers have to come out with innovative methods/processing techniques which will bring down costs and help in conservation.<br />More has to be spent on exploration and we mineral people should come out with solutions to convert resources into reserves.<br />My deep appreciation for bringing out some hard facts in such a simple manner.<br />Rao,T.C.Rao,T.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11160713677908165404noreply@blogger.com
