Twenty papers from a conference for which no date nor location is revealed synthesize the current state of an area of the copper industry, and the lessons learned over the three decades since the first commercial operation began. They consider such aspects as economic considerations, environmental compliance, design strategies for heap leach in extreme environments, the evolution of cathode quality at Phelps Dodge Mining Company, and the design and operation of a solvent extraction plant. Some include bibliographies. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
