Forum addition proves timely in fossil fuel debate

摘要

A new face at this year's ALTA minerals processing conference in Western Australia will be outspoken Summit Resources Ltd boss Alan Eggars. A tireless promoter of uranium exploration in Australia, the colourful Eggars will be just one of many additional delegates expected to attend the six day event in order to discuss the various production options available for the controversial mineral. To again be held at the Rendezvous Observation City Hotel in the Perth seaside suburb of Scarborough, this year's ALTA conference shall again have a strong focus on the new technologies involved with the processing of nickel, cobalt and copper. This year, however, marks the first time the forum will look at uranium case studies involving solvent extraction, ion exchange and in situ leaching.
