SUMMARY:Prestige Lecture:  Lithium potential in Cornwall
DESCRIPTION:This year our Prestige Lecture will be given by Lucy Crane\, an exploration geologist by training\, and now ESG & Sustainability Manager for Cornish Lithium.  Cornish Lithium is an innovative mineral exploration and development company\, focussed on the environmentally responsible extraction of lithium from geothermal waters and hard rock in Cornwall.  In this talk\, Lucy will describe the Company’s approach to utilising new technologies to unlock the potential to extract critical metals such as lithium in a low carbon and responsible manner.\nThis is a Hybrid meeting\, it will be held online and at The Counting House\, Griffin Room\, on the top floor. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Prestige Lecture - Tin
DESCRIPTION:Owen Mihalop\, MIMMM\, C.Eng and Chief Operating Officer of Cornish Metals Inc. will deliver the Prestige Lecture on the subject of Tin\, its uses\, the market\, operating mines and new mines coming on stream including South Crofty. \nNote:  after Owen completes his presentation\, he will retire to the MinSouth Wonder Building to discuss tin further with whomever is interested.  He will be in the Cornish Metals Room.  The MinSouth Wonder Building can be reached by clicking the Image of this building below. \n \nOwen Mihalop\, MIMMM\, C.Eng.\, has 20 years’ experience in the mining industry\, ranging from grass-roots geological exploration through to production mining. He started his career as an exploration geologist and then gained experience in mining engineering and production in both open-pit and underground mines\, following which he became a mining consultant specialising in feasibility studies\, project management and project evaluation\, gaining broad experience in the mining industry as a whole. In recent years he has concentrated on project development\, advancing projects in Europe and Africa towards production. Owen is a Chartered Mining Engineer and a graduate of Camborne School of Mines and he is supported by a strong team of geologists and mining engineers from the local area who have a deep understanding of the United Downs Project and the South Crofty Project. \nRegistration for this event can be reached via this Eventbrite link –  Registration

SUMMARY:The Relevance of Mining in a Climate Change World
DESCRIPTION:The MinSouth Prestige Lecture will be presented by Neil Kermode\, Managing Director of The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) Limited\, based in Orkney. \n  \n  \nJoin Teams Meeting  From 5.30 pm \nThis year’s Prestige lecture explores the relevance of mining in a climate change and zero carbon world. Are new mines necessary? Could we not be re-using/recycling metals already mined\, processed and discarded or still in circulation? How important is mining for new and developing clean technologies – electric cars\, renewable energy\, energy storage etc. \nWinning high energy materials from the earth was an excellent strategy for kickstarting the first Industrial Revolution. It allowed industry to site production where it needed to be and not just where the resources were\, it compacted processes and people into factories and enabled unheard of levels of production. \n But unfortunately we didn’t spot the downside of releasing these bound up materials… until recently. \n So now we know we need to act on carbon emissions\, the spotlight of attention has begun to swing onto less extractive approaches to making our lives work. This generally means moving from a linear process to more circular ones. It means using less and it means using that we have better\, and sometimes it means looking at the processes that made life possible before coal. \nOne part of that is the way in which we power and propel our economy. We all know we are decarbonising\, we see more EVs on the road and in the adverts on the (lower energy) TV; We have stopped burning coal for electricity and the UK had its first coal free month in May; we see more wind turbines and solar panels and we are participating in conversations about carbon daily. \n And there are things going on in the background\, often unseen. The carbon free world is under construction and new technologies are being developed. \n Neil Kermode manages the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney which has been tasked by Government to enable the development of the technology to harvest energy from the waves and tides around our coast. Set up in 2003 it has seen more devices (30) tested than at any other site in the world and has helped spur the decarbonisation of energy in Orkney. \n Neil brings a wealth of experience of the successes and challenges that have been faced by the pioneers and innovators to date and is passionate about the need to deliver a new industry. \n The lecture will explore some of the options that marine energy opens up; not just to the UK but the rest of the planet. Opportunities for new jobs\, businesses and ways to handle and utilise the energy harvested. \n Neil will also highlight the metals and minerals that may be increasingly important to the development and construction of these and other non-carbon energy sources (ie materials needed); and perhaps more importantly\, the battery and/or other energy storage provisions for the energy produced. \nExamples of the conundrum include that steel is needed for wind turbines – and steel needs mining iron ore and metallurgical process coal for the steel manufacturing; similarly metals needed for the marine energy technologies; and the rare earths and other metals/minerals needed for EVs\, renewables and storage etc. \n  \nJoin Teams Meeting  \nFrom 5.30 pm
