We wish to determine the current burning issues in our field.  In order to establish a priority list for discussion at this seminar as well as seminars of “the next decade”. Aspects that have raised a lot of debate in our circles are the possibility of using the slimes dam to recover water and eliminate the thickener.  We will raise this topic again in the technical forum for discussion and comment. What is the most discussed topic in your circle?  Please forward the topic and we will phrase the questions (with your input if you so wish).
