A conference on chloride metallurgy will be held Oct. 19-23 at the Marriott Chteau Champlain in Montreal.
Metallurgists, engineers and material scientists will gather to share their experiences in the field. The technical program for the forum is available on the Internet at www.metsoc.org and www.hydrometallurgysection.com.
The conference will examine various topics, including engineering design aspects of fluid bed and spray roaster pyrohydrolysers, and chlorides in autoclave leaching of both sulphide and oxides ores (laterites).
A short course will emphasize the practical and operational aspects of working with chlorides.

The MINTEK conference, slated for March 25-28 in Moscow, will encourage greater access to Russia’s mining market.
The previous MINTEK conference and trade show attracted about 5,000 people, including 54 exhibitors.
Annual metal exports from the Russian mining market are valued at more than US$16 billion.

James Monger, emeritus scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), and Ray Price, former director of the GSC, will co-host a field trip titled Cordilleran Cross-section: from Vancouver to Calgary.
The field trip will precede the 2003 joint annual meeting of the Geological Association of Canada, the Mineralogical Association of Canada, and the Society of Economic Geologists, slated for May 24-28 in Vancouver, B.C.
Special sessions will address such topics as environmental studies of mine wastes, formation of volcanogenic massive sulphide and sedementary-exhalative deposits, and ore-forming processes in the porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold environments.
Also, Douglas Oldenburg, a geoscience professor at the University of British Columbia, will host a workshop on the applications of geophysical inversions in mineral exploration.
There will also be two short courses: GIS for geoscientists, and the analysis and interpretation of fluid inclusions.
