Happy New Year! The AIME Board held strategic planning sessions for the first time in several years to
crystallize AIME's future mission and goals.
And, the good news is that the group came together to project a bright future for AIME.
In addition to becoming more visible to members, especially younger ones, through new marketing
efforts and AIME representatives at Member Society events in 2007, several new initiatives are planned.

Western Museum of Mining & Industry presents: Simple Machines, Lego Steam Engines, and the Industrial Revolution
Motor on down to the Western Museum of Mining & Industry (WMMI) in Colorado Springs CO January 13th, 2007 at 1PM for hands-on experiments with levers, axels and wheels. Then see how they are put to use in working Lego Models and the giant steam engines of the Industrial Revolution! Use different classes of levers, lift loads with pulleys, roll around wheels... you'll have so much fun and never realize we put you to work. Watch our 37 ton, giant of a steam engine come to life and then compare it to a scale, operating model made entirely from Lego's. As this event revolves around the history of the Industrial Revolution, you will learn how simple machines become the compound machines we use to generate power! Please RSVP at:
719-488-0880.For more details on this event as well as WMMI, CLICK HERE.
Mining Engineering
Dry jigging coal has several advantages. Particulate emissions are nearly nonexistent because of the dust collectors installed at modern dry jig plants. Dry jigging is also a good way to go at mines with limited water resources. And technological advances have made these plants more efficient. However, this technology is not suitable for every application. Richard Weinstein and Richard Snoby explain in the January issue of Mining Engineering Magazine.
Also in the January issue, Stephen Bessinger, T. Arthur Palm and Alan Zeni discuss the installation a new ventilation shaft at San Juan Coal Co.'s underground mine near Farmington, NM. The coal seam at the mine had a propensity for spontaneous combustion. So the company examined several different shaft sinking technologies and decided blind drilling was the best.
And the January issue contains the Pre-show Guide to the SME Annual Meeting and Exhibit, Feb. 25-28, in Denver, CO. In addition to a calendar of events, the Showguide contains technical programming, and exhibitor list and exhibit floor map, and registration and hotel information.

This hardcover book will contain all of the technical papers (84 papers total) published in 2006 by the Society.
In addition to the technical papers that were published in Mining Engineering and Minerals and Metallurgical
Processing throughout 2006, the book will contain 24 additional papers available only in this volume.
Topics include all aspects of mining and production, including underground mining, safety and health,
mine ventilation, coal utilization, economics and mineral processing. This archival collection is a must reference book on every engineer's bookshelf. To preorder, call SME Customer Service at 1-800-763-3132 or order online at: http://www.smenet.org/
Start The New Year With A Subscription To Minerals & Metallurgical Processing
A 2007 subscription to Minerals & Metallurgical Processing is a must for all involved in mineral processing.
The new subscription year will again contain many high-quality papers by some of the world's most distinguished
professionals in mineral processing. This international peer-reviewed journal is published quarterly in February,
May, August and November.
Annual subscription rates for individuals are much lower than competitive journals - only $99 for SME members ($139 for nonmembers). Note that these rates now include air delivery.
The February 2007 issue will soon be available. Topics will include:
- Dense-media separation of coarse coal.
- Recovery of metal values from slags.
- Ultrafine grinding of limestone.
- Recycling valuable metals from spent catalyst.
- Weathering of coal mine rejects and tailings.
- Making direct reduced iron and pig iron nuggets.
- Dolomite removal from phosphates.
- Isolation and identification of iron-oxidizing bacteria
