Mine residues from the Venetia Diamond Mine.
Carlos and I presented at the 3rd De Beers’ Mineral Carbonation Workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa. A wide variety of people attended the meetings including collaborators Sasha Wilson and Gordon Southam, as well as geoscientists, metallurgists, process engineers, and environmental managers. Given the interdisciplinary nature of our work, it’s key to have support from so many talented people. Feedback on our enhanced passive carbonation research was very positive and there are real opportunities to move towards carbon-neutral mining. Thanks to those who organized this fantastic meeting and we are looking forward to future engagements.
