Ana graduated with a PhD from Bangor University in 2018 and is currently a Research Fellow in Geomicrobiology at the Natural History Museum. \nHer talk will be on microbial-based technologies for extraction and recovery of metals from mine wastes. These waste materials contain concentrations of critical and other metals that make them attractive for reprocessing using bioleaching and bioremediation technologies\, with the important secondary benefit that this can eliminate or greatly reduce the threat that these wastes pose to the surrounding environments. Strategies have been developed for extracting and recovering metals from both solid and aqueous mine wastes and example of these strategies will be presented as case studies. \nThis will be a hybrid meeting held both on-line and at IOM3 HQ\, 297 Euston Road\, NW1 3AD.\nRegistration for this event is through Eventbrite via this LINK URL:https://minsouth.org.uk/event/lecture-in-conjunction-with-women-in-mining-uk/ CATEGORIES:Lectures,Mining,Women In Mining UK END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220414T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220414T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T070032 CREATED:20220104T202124Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220413T121823Z UID:73344-1649959200-1649966400@minsouth.org.uk SUMMARY:Past\, Present and Future of the Milldam Mine DESCRIPTION:The MinSouth Technical Meeting on Thursday April 14th will be presented by Peter Robinson\, Chairman\, British Fluorspar Ltd.  He will be discussing the past\, present and future of the Milldam operation which is operated by Fluorsid. \nThis will be a hybrid meeting held both on-line and at the Counting House (Dining Room) along the same lines as our October and November Meetings. \nIt will be possible to register next week via Eventbrite\, the link will be available on the web page when that option is available.  Keep in mind that if you plan to attend physically\, spaces are limited so you will have to book early if you plan to come to the Counting House! \nClick here to register URL:https://minsouth.org.uk/event/fluorite-mining-derbyshire/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Lectures,Mining END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220210T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220210T210000 DTSTAMP:20260406T070032 CREATED:20220117T113215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220127T204920Z UID:73374-1644519600-1644526800@minsouth.org.uk SUMMARY:Afghanistan Untapped Mining Potential: Challenges and Opportunities DESCRIPTION:Isamil Amin will be discussing socio and geopolitical challenges\, investment climate\, present day opportunities and the future of mining in Afghanistan. \nIsmail Amin is a seasoned policymaker and engineer with a history of working with thought leaders\, policy makers\, government and international organisations. He had the privilege of dictating national mining policy decrees and associated regulatory affairs by working for the President of the I.R of Afghanistan leading the Mineral and Energy sector portfolio at the President Office. His experience lies across a range of policy works such as the development of National Mineral Portfolio for foreign & domestic investment and evaluation & negotiation of large-scale mining projects across Afghanistan. In terms of commodities\, Ismail has a solid track record working with coal\, gold\, lead-zinc\, iron\, copper\, precious and semi-precious stones along with industrial mineral resources and reserves\, from the tendering of the exploration block to the issuance of the exploitation licence and final land reclamation upon cessation of mining activities. Having worked at key government institutions and decision-making bodies\, he has inside knowledge of what inner mechanics drive government regulation and successful bids for mining. These experiences combined with his academic & managerial background in mining and strong aptitude for socio-political evaluation and liaison allow him to achieve success both commercially and administratively for whatever venture he may be part of. Ismail has obtained his Bachelor of Mining Engineering from the University of Engineering & Technology Lahore\, Pakistan and actively writes for national and international media outlets regarding Afghanistan’s national resources\, its challenges and wider investment climate.\nAlong with professional career\, Ismail is well connected with the industry and is the Founding President of DeWER Co. & TSP (De Watan Energy and Resources Consultants and Technical Service Providers) and is currently based in London. \nRegistration can be done through Eventbrite – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/249242680567 URL:https://minsouth.org.uk/event/afghanistan-untapped-mining-potential-challenges-and-opportunities/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://minsouth.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Afghanistan-Map.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220113T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220113T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T070032 CREATED:20220104T201151Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220106T151544Z UID:73337-1642096800-1642104000@minsouth.org.uk SUMMARY:Critical minerals in a circular economy DESCRIPTION:The concept of a “Circular Economy” is a key component for the transition to a green and more sustainable future. However\, what will a circular economy look like? Can it be achieved and how? Are certain resources more crucial or suited for a circular economy? How will it affect the extractive industries? \nProf. Richard Herrington\, Head of Earth Science Department at the Natural History Museum\, and experienced economic geologist will share his views on the topic. \nClick HERE to register URL:https://minsouth.org.uk/event/minsouth-lecture/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Lectures,Mining,Mining Industry,Natural History Museum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20211111T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20211111T190000 DTSTAMP:20260406T070032 CREATED:20211025T145641Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211105T110957Z UID:73255-1636653600-1636657200@minsouth.org.uk SUMMARY:Lithium Potential in the UK DESCRIPTION:The increase in the production of electric vehicles has caused the demand for lithium to soar. The Li supply\, dominated by a handful of producing counties\, is struggling to keep up. To mitigate supply risks for local manufacturers to and lower the global environmental impact of Li production numerous countries have started to investigate the potential for domestic supply. Exploration efforts in the UK are currently mainly focused on the Cornubian Batholith in Cornwall and Devon\, but what about other areas? \nDr. Robin Armstrong\, Mining Sector Leader at the Natural History Museum\, will assess the Li Potential of the UK. Using his skills including mineralogy\, geochemistry\, field mapping and sampling\, and geographical information systems\, Robin primarily studies volcanic arc related styles of mineralization such as porphyry copper deposits and epithermal gold deposits. However\, in recent years he has expanded his interests to include natural resources for the green economy and has worked on a range of Li deposits. \nDr. Armstrong will be presenting virtually.  You can attend this session with others in MinSouth at The Counting House at 50 Cornhill by registering at this LINK.  There is limited space in the room where the lecture will be held.  You can also attend virtually.  To find out the details to register virtually\, register at this LINK.

A summary: \n Fitting a square peg into a round hole is never an easy task. So why are we as Indigenous people asked to give up a part of ourselves to fit into this corporate culture? Working in the mining industry shouldn’t be at the cost of changing cultural nuances or by losing language. Unfortunately\, corporate culture has an expectation for Indigenous people to bend and change their way of doing things in order to meet their terms of success. With the majority of First Nations people in these companies in entry-level positions\, it seems changing the majority for the comfort of a few may not be the best way to develop a culture of acceptance and prosperity. The challenges and microaggressions exist and awareness is necessary to transform the corporate culture to one that celebrates the cultures of others. An industry that embraces what Indigenous people can offer both professionally and culturally is critical in this time of reconciliation. Not only can employment within the mining industry help filter money back into our communities and help us prosper\, it can help us share our experiences\, our values\, and our culture so it can be celebrated by all in partnership for a better relationships as the mining industry expands. \nKari Lentowicz URL:https://minsouth.org.uk/event/indigenous-culture-and-mining-culture-change-a-bottom-up-approach/ LOCATION:Virtually from Canada CATEGORIES:CanadianInstituteMiningMetallurgyPetroleum,Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20210310T191500 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20210310T201500 DTSTAMP:20260406T070032 CREATED:20210308T182641Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210308T183034Z UID:72873-1615403700-1615407300@minsouth.org.uk SUMMARY:CIM Calgary Webinar - The Mount Polley Tailings Spill: Response & Recovery DESCRIPTION:Join Lyn Anglin from Anglin and Associates to hear about the recovery from the tailings dam at the Mount Polley Mine 6 years later\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nSix years after a glaciolacustrine layer under the tailings dam at the Mount Polley Mine failed\, and 25 million cubic metres of water\, tailings and embankment materials spilled into the surrounding environment\, significant progress has been made in remediating the spill impacts. The company has invested on the order of $70 million on clean-up and repair. Human health and environmental impact and risk assessments\, monitoring studies\, and extensive remediation of impacted areas have been completed. Risk assessments indicate human health risks from the spill are low\, while environmental impacts are low to moderate\, with impacts primarily related to the homogeneous grain-size and low-organic content of the spilled tailings. The remediation response has therefore been focused on physical aspects of the spill. Ongoing monitoring indicates that impacted ecosystems continue showing positive signs of recovery. Communications with stakeholders and First Nations were maintained through regular community meetings\, community newsletters\, and site tours with regulators\, First Nations\, community representatives\, and members of the local public.
