MtM/UCT Webinar hosted by SAIMM 

THE MINERALS TO METALS INITIATIVE
Whence we come and where we're bound

 

This session of the MtM Forum will be on how the Minerals to Metals Initiative has evolved over the past 14 years, highlighting some of the key initiatives that shaped the minds of academics, students and those who walked with us along the way.
 
But the main focus will be on where we are headed with our current work, such as the projects aimed at making value from waste, the mine dust network, and post-mining economic transformation as well as introducing and disseminating the concepts of sustainable minerals into the broader African context.
 
The session will also present the 'Shining Light' award to two outstanding students, signalling to the development of the next generation of innovators coming for the Minerals to Metals team.
 
The session will be the first to be hosted by the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and will include a word of welcome from MtM alumnus Allan Nesbitt, the current chair of the SAIMM Western Cape branch and Isabel Geldenhuys, SAIMM Senior Vice President.

Presenter: Jennifer Broadhurst
