KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A new subsidiary in South Africa and a series of engineers and agents located around the world are all seeing to it that the new reactor technology has been largely accepted by the mining industry.
- Flotation technology is a type of pneumatic technology, and is remarkable different from the tank tech that has been well established. It is far more efficient.
- During lockdowns and travel restrictions, new measures were needed in order to push this environmentally beneficial technology. But there was only so much that could be done remotely.
