InfoMine, in collaboration with MWH, announces Mine Water Solutions in Extreme Environments, the first of a new conference series to examine and share successes in mine water management in extreme environments. The conference will take place in Lima, Peru from April 15-17th, 2013. The thematic areas include:

• Extremely dry settings
• Extremely wet settings
• Extremely cold settings
• Extremely complex hydrogeological conditions (e.g.karst)
• Extremely challenging geochemistry

The call for abstracts and short course proposals is open until July 2nd, 2012.

The Conference will provide a forum for presentation and discussion about successful practices that enable responsible mining to be undertaken in challenging environments, while minimizing water use and/or preserving water resources. All aspects of mine water management, including hydrology, hydrogeology, diversion, containment, water conservation, minimization of water quality impacts, seepage interception, and treatment may be addressed. Management of water associated with mine dewatering, waste rock and tailings are of particular interest.

For more information, please visit the conference website or contact the conference organizers.

This June, EduMine is pleased to present Dr. Hossein Aminian’s short course, Principles of Grinding and Flotation. The course is designed to provide a concise and up-to-date overview of grinding processes and the principles of flotation for a wide range of mining personnel. Participants will be introduced to the various types of grinding equipment, including the latest technology in crushing and milling. The course will also provide comprehensive information on flotation parameters and will introduce new techniques in flotation. This two-day course will take place June 18 - 19, 2012 in Vancouver, BC. For more information or to register, see the course page. Participants who register for both Principles of Grinding and Flotation and Introduction to Hydrometallurgy (June 20 - 21, 2012) will receive a 10% discount on both classes.
