The conference on Tailings and Mine Waste 11 is ended and we can now sit back and reflect on what it all means. The easiest way to do this is to look at the PowerPoint slides from Andy Robertson’s keynote address. They are now on InfoMine at this link.

A slow morning and an even slower computer that took its sweet time downloading files.
