Brooklyn Center, MN
This year’s technical sessions include:• Fundamentals of successful land rehabilitation• PM4 silica monitoring data review• Peat mining and product applications• Industrial mineral overview • Legislative and regulatory updates for Minnesota mining • Mineralogy and genesis of Jamaican Bauxite ores• Silica sand market update• Environmental impacts of industrial silica sand mining• Industrial minerals exploration strategies• Aerial reconnaissance using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)• Land use investigations and historical imagery• History of ice harvesting• Assessing the alkali-silica reactivity of concrete • Central Texas silica sands
SME Twin Cities 2015 Field TripsMining today involves so much more than just drilling, blasting, big holes, and cool rocks!
Join us to experience the diversity of mining in Minnesota from very different operations. The 2015 field trip series, sponsored by SME Twin Cities, will exhibit unique applications related to:
• Mining • Asphalt and concrete recycling• Processing • Efficient supply chains• Geology • Product specifications • See capitalism at work! • Reclamation using urban development• Innovative partnerships: city stormwater and water supply systems
Choose to attend one or both and experience mining in Minnesota!
Register Today! Visit SME TC’s website to reserve your field trip space: http://community.smenet.org/smetwincities/home or http://www.smetwincities.org/.
AugusT 17, 2015 Highlights Include*:
Tiller Corporation’s very large sand and gravel operation at Maple Grove, which mines Quaternary unconsolidated materials deposited by glacial meltwater.
The Kraemer Mining and Materials crushed stone quarry operation in Burnsville, which mines the Ordovician Prairie du Chien dolomite.
Fairmont Santrol’s industrial silica sand operation near Shakopee, which mines the Late Cambrian Jordan Sandstone.
AugusT 19-20, 2015 Highlights Include*:
Coldspring USA’s dimension stone quarry. See mining done in a Paleoproterozoic granite in Rockville, MN to obtain large 15-ton blocks with no cracks.
Coldspring USA’s dimension stone processing plant in Cold Spring, MN.
Premier Peat’s mine and processing plant, which mines Holocene peat near Cromwell, MN. Have you ever seen a vacuum as big as a T. Rex?
Hibbing Taconite’s iron ore mine, processing plant and taconite pellet plant, and loadout rail facility, near Hibbing, MN. The mine is within the Paleoproterozoic Biwabik Iron Formation.
Get a glimpse of a historic site related to a famous Minnesota ROCK star!
