Paste Seminar 2010
Paste Technology - Improving Our World:
Our quality of life is dependent upon our ability to effectively and responsibly produce raw commodities from global resources.
However, how we manage the large volumes of mineral waste streams that remain after the minerals have been extracted, the power has been produced and the oil and gas has been supplied, is a crucial challenge.
The many organizations that create mineral waste streams face a number of increasingly complex environmental, technical, financial and social challenges that must be resolved in order to operate sustainably in today’s highly regulated and scrutinized business environment.
More than ever, our world is demanding bold solutions that require the innovative use of proven technologies as well as the development of new technologies.
Answers must be found that allow companies to conduct business profitably, that meet environmental constraints and that enhance the prosperity of communities in which we operate.
During the past three decades, the application of paste technology has progressed from a research based concept to a widely accepted and extensively practiced engineering solution for managing mineral waste.
It is now readily recognized that significant engineering, scheduling, production and environmental benefits have been gained from the use of paste technology in the mining industry.
The regulatory pressures to eliminate the liability inherent with the use of traditional tailing dams, the world-wide emphasis on conserving water resources and the cost savings created through reduced capital expenditures and faster permitting, have all combined to make paste technology a sought-after engineering solution that is expanding within and beyond the mining industry.
13th International Seminar on Paste and Thickened Tailings Toronto, Canada, May 3-6, 2010
The 2010 International Seminar on Paste and Thickened Tailings will focus on discussing how the scientific advances made in the application of paste technology can improve the ability of various industries, in addition to mining, to manage their mineral waste streams.
The 2010 seminar will bring together practitioners, researchers, educators, operators and suppliers from:
- Mining
- Oil and Gas
- Power Generation
- Land Development
- Finance
The goal of the seminar is to provide a thought-provoking forum which allows professionals from these diverse industries to discuss and understand the application of best available paste technology practices, how these applications can enhance their operations and, ultimately, how paste technology can improve our world.
