ALTA 2018, organised by ALTA Metallurgical Services, is one of the world’s premier annual metallurgical events. ALTA 2018 is the 23rd annual conference and will be held between 19-26 of May in Perth, Western Australia.
This conference is an annual gathering of the global nickel, cobalt, copper, uranium, rare earths, lithium, ISR gold and precious metals industries. It comprises three technical conferences, three short courses, and an international trade exhibition. It features highly-focused programs, topical forums and presentations by key international speakers
ANSTO Minerals will be presenting in the In Situ Recovery (ISR) Symposium, Uranium-REE-Lithium session and Lithium Processing Forum.
Dr James Quinn will outline results obtained using a newly released, high capacity strong base anion exchange (SBA) resin for the recovery of uranium from saline leach liquors. ANSTO Minerals’ understanding of the function of this resin, allowed the design and construction of a pilot plant at ANSTO, which was transported to BOSS Resources’ Honeymoon mine site in South Australia where it was operated successfully for 10 weeks.
