Invitation
It is a great honour for the mineral engineering fraternity in India to host the XXVI International Mineral Processing Congress (IMPC) in New Delhi from September 24 -28, 2012. It is indeed a privilege for us in India to invite you to come and celebrate sixty years of IMPC in New Delhi in September 2012. The Indian Institute of Mineral Engineers (IIME) and The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) will be organizing the XXVI IMPC in collaboration with and support from other professional organizations and industry.
India is known for its ancient heritage in minerals and metals. The non-corroding Delhi Iron pillar (more than 1600 years old), the legendary Wootz steel from which famous Damascus swords were made, the ruins of ancient retorts that were used to produce thousands of tons of zinc in Rajasthan, the exquisitely crafted bronze icons from south India made by the “lost wax’ process – are all testimony to the level of technological excellence achieved by the Indian sub-continent. Minerals and metals industry continues to be of great importance to India and it is going through resurgence in recent times. Impressive growth projections in the production of minerals during the next decade promise huge investments in the industry.
The mining, minerals and metals industry globally and particularly in India is confronted with new challenges of reducing its environmental footprint. Land, energy and water are extremely scarce resources in India. Our theme for IMPC 2012 is therefore titled “Innovative Processing for Sustainable Growth”. IMPC has been an excellent forum for the best professionals from the industry, academia and the research institutions to meet and deliberate on the challenges and the opportunities in the field. We shall strive to make IMPC 2012 a professionally rewarding and socially enjoyable experience.
We cordially invite you to join us in New Delhi in September 2012. Please do write to us for more details. We look forward to meeting you in New Delhi.
