\"SMEThe Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration<\/a> (SME) Annual Meeting is a great place to network with clients in the mining and minerals industry, keep up to date with projects and hear about new innovations through the over 100 technical sessions.\u00a0 The show will be held February 15-18, 2015, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado USA. I\u2019m personally interested in the Mineral and Metallurgical Processing Technical Sessions<\/a>.\u00a0 This year there are many sessions of interest in that track, including ones dealing with plant design and optimization, remediation and secondary processing, tailings, research and characterization, flotation, leaching, physical separation, pyrometallurgy, simulation and modeling, and comminution (both communication circuit design and applications as well as mechanical and electrical developments).\u00a0 It\u2019s a great way to stay updated on important developments in the industry. In fact, we\u2019ll be discussing Samplers and Analyzers<\/a> in our booth (#1321<\/a>).\u00a0 Continuous online analysis and monitoring of raw material composition is key to improving product quality and integrity, maximizing resources, and meeting customer specifications. You can keep mineral processing operations running efficiently, safely, and improve profitability with analyzers that provide critical process data in the lab and in the concentrator.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t seen integrated solutions for mineral beneficiation plants in action, take a look at these three short videos to see how they can provide low maintenance solutions with reliable and accurate analyzers and samplers. (These videos illustrate integration of low head loss metallurgical accounting sampling systems and immersion type on-line analysis systems into the Feed<\/a>, Cleaners<\/a> and Tailings<\/a> areas of modern flotation plant designs.) We\u2019ll have plenty of application experts at the booth to help answer your questions about analysis and material handling solutions with technologies that are designed to scale as your mining operations rapidly change. In addition to our application specialists, we\u2019ll have staff available to discuss additional solutions, including those for exploration, (like Portable XRF and Central Lab Analysis) and extraction (like Weighing and Monitoring applications). We will also be introducing a new product for XRF slurry elemental analyzers<\/a>, which eliminates the requirement for Liquid Nitrogen cooling of the X-ray detector. \u00a0Stop by our booth to discuss the new technology. I can\u2019t get enough mineral talk.\u00a0 If I have time, I\u2019m going to try and visit the Denver Museum of Nature & Science gem and minerals exhibit<\/a>.\u00a0 I read that they have on display an eight-pound nugget of crystallized gold, a six-foot wall of blood-red rhodochrosite crystals, and a reproduction of a Mexican silver mine, where \u201ca cavern glistens with milky white gypsum crystals and stalactites.\u201d I\u2019ve never been to Denver before, but if you\u2019re looking to dine outside the conference hall, my colleague Tom recommends Maggiano’s Little Italy<\/a> for its great atmosphere, food and wine, as well as Jax Fish House<\/a>.\u00a0 The infamous Jax Raw Bar offers up to a dozen different varieties of oysters nightly as well as clams, chilled crabs and lobsters; all flown in daily. I hope to see you there, but if you can\u2019t make it, you can see what you missed at our booth on this SME event page<\/a> and follow the show twitter posts at #SME2015. \u00a0<\/em> \"SME<\/a>Show Details:<\/strong><\/em> SME \/ CMA CONFERENCE <\/em><\/a> [2015 SME Annual Confernece & Expo \/ CMA 117th<\/sup> National Western Mining Conference]<\/em> Booth #1321\u00a0<\/a> <\/em>February 15-18, 2015 <\/em>Colorado Convention Center <\/em>700 14th St. <\/em>Denver, CO USA<\/em>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
