The 16th International Seminar on Paste & Thickened Tailings will be held June 17-20, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. International Mining is the international media partner and our annual Paste Supplement will be distributed there. The promise of thickened, paste, and filtered tailings is reduced makeup water demand, smaller impoundment footprints, and less environmental impact. The promise is the opportunity to practice responsible, sustainable mining. The 42 papers accepted for Paste 2013 advance knowledge, practice, and the state-of-the-art of stacked tailings, whether it be thickened, paste, or filtered. There is always lively discussion and debates at these presentations. Join the experts, practitioners, users and suppliers in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Brazilian mining and the beautiful state of Minas Gerais.
