The Proceedings of this symposium focuses on hydrometallurgical techniques for extracting precious metals from ores, concentrates, slags, and recycled materials. The papers featured in this volume address a broad spectrum of topics relevant to both operating facilities and emerging projects. Readers will find contributions focused on gold extraction technologies, cyanide management and recycling, alternative leaching systems, electrochemical recovery methods, precious metals refining, process control, instrumentation, plant commissioning, project ramp-up performance, and process safety. These contributions demonstrate the balance between fundamental scientific understanding and practical industrial application that continues to drive progress in precious metals processing.

The Metallurgy and Materials Society: Metallurgists have been active in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) since its inception in 1898. In 1945, the Metallurgy Division was formed to reflect the group’s technical interests. Constituted as a society in 1967, MetSoc has grown to become one of the premier global organizations serving the international metallurgy and materials community. Its annual Conference of Metallurgy & Materials (COM) is a preeminent event on the international metallurgy meeting calendar. In partnership with sister societies, MetSoc is also a lead organizer of key world-class conference series such as Nickel-Cobalt, Copper and Lead-Zinc.
