Marcelo Tavares’s key note presentation (“A life cycle-based, sustainability-driven innovation approach in the minerals industry”) certainly set the stage for a stimulating and thought-provoking conference [Sustainable Minerals '21]

Peter Radziszewski, Rampart Detection Systems Ltd., Canada

I encourage you all, working on sustainability in the mining sector, to submit an abstract to this conference [Sustainable Minerals '21] - it is always the highlight of my year!

Anita Parbhakar-Fox, Sustainable Minerals Institute, University of Queensland, Australia

Very much enjoyed the conference [Sustainable Minerals '21] and the panel discussion. Will certainly include it in my agenda of conferences in the future. Well done MEI team!

Luís Marcelo Tavares, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Biomining '21 and Sustainable Minerals '21 conferences were lovely – I particularly enjoyed the networking sessions. Possibly more effective networking than in real life!

My participation was the fourth to beautiful Falmouth to attend this conference [Sustainable Minerals '16], and as usual I enjoyed a lot its overall pertinence. So rendez-vous taken for Sustainable Minerals '18.

Mostafa Benzaazoua, RIME University of Quebec, Canada

What a privilege to have been there [Sustainable Minerals '16]! Yes, indeed!! I am most inspired by the calibre of the young people presenting with the variety of topics their approaches and perspectives and it really does give me hope for a sustainable future for our planet!

Dee Bradshaw, University of Cape Town, South Africa

Again, another great conference [Sustainable Minerals '16] with high quality presentations highlighting innovative approaches and solutions that contribute to sustainability and the opportunity to meet and engage with all the delegates.

Glen Corder, Sustainable Minerals Institute, University of Queensland, Australia

Many thanks again for a wonderful conference [Sustainable Minerals '16] in a wonderful location. Also excellent to see other work that is being done in the mine waste characterization / rehabilitation field and the wider opportunities presented by efficient resource utilization.

Christopher Brough, Petrolab, UK

Very interesting and stimulating presentations and discussions - both informal and formal. It was great to meet researchers with a common interest and, despite the relatively small number of delegates, I made many more useful contacts than I normally tend to do at larger conferences. If you are interested in "closing the minerals to metals systems loop", with a view to enhance sustainable development of these non-renewable resources, this is the conference [SRCR '14] to attend!

It was a pleasure meet all of you in Falmouth and I would like to come there next time. It was my first time in any MEI Conference and I liked SRCR '14 so much. It has been a great meeting to share interesting research and I take advantage discovering a great area of Britain.

Jorge Castilla, Technical University of Madrid, Spain

I spent a really nice time in Falmouth [at SRCR '11] thanks to Barry, his family but also all the other delegates. Organization was just perfect. Social events as well. At this occasion, I met a lot of interesting people, friends and learnt a lot from all the presentations. Mine was the first at MEI and I really enjoyed it. Hope to meet you again at SRCR '14.

Gregory Lewis, University of Liege, Belgium

SRCR '11 was a great conference, I hope that the next one in 2013 will be even better. I must say that MEI team did an excellent job. Delegates got together in a nice and cozy atmosphere. My congratulations to Barry, Barbara, Jon and Amanda.

Maurício L Torem, DEMa PUC-Rio, Brazil

It is the first time I have attended an international conference [SRCR '11]. It was a good chance for me to meet many foreign scientists, researchers and students to exchange research activities and get friendship. I was impressed with well organization, and Falmouth is very nice place. Thank Dr. Wills and his family for organizing good conference. I hope to participate again.

Nghiem Van Nguyen, University of Science and Technology, South Korea

I'm sure that SRCR '11 was a great opportunity to increase my network and to get know more about research lines focused on a "sustainability thinking"... so important for the future of mining industries... I'm so glad for it and I hope to be able to attend SRCR '16!

Juarez Amaral Filho, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

This was my first participation in a MEI event, and I must say that it was a truly fruitful and enjoyable experience. I express my gratitude to Barry, Barbara and Jon for their hospitality and the excellent organization of this SRCR ´11, and I will be looking forward to be part of new events. Congratulations as well to all the participants, for the high technical level of their works. I had an excellent opportunity to meet new people, and I expect to be in touch with all of them.
