C. G. Anderson

Corby Anderson is a professionally registered engineer with 27 years of experience in process, chemical and metallurgical engineering, engineering services, research, consulting and industrial plant operations. Experienced and trained in pyrometallurgy, he also has extensive industrial experience in hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, environmental metallurgy and mineral processing. He has developed and implemented novel hydrometallurgical technologies for pressure leaching, vat leaching, precious metal recovery, base metal recovery, process control, separations, purifications, refining and electrolysis. He has been responsible for lab work, pilot plant work, research, process development, engineering design, start-up, operations, management, corporate budgeting, contracting and environmental affairs for mineral processing and hydrometallurgical  plants producing silver, PGM’s, gold, antimony, nickel, cobalt, zinc, germanium, gallium and copper.  He has authored or co-authored over 100 papers and presentations and holds several international patents. He has served successfully as an expert witness on several international mining cases. He has been a Technical Editor for the Mineral and Metallurgical Processing Journal, Minerals Engineering, Hydrometallurgy, and Metallurgical Transactions B.  As a Full Research Professor in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Montana Tech he has directed or co-directed 2 Ph.D. candidates and 13 M. Sc. candidates. He is active in many professional organizations including participation as an SME Director and Vice President, as an IPMI Director, as a Trustee for North West Mining Association and as a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers. He also participates with the National Materials Advisory Board, The National Academy of Science, The National Research Council, The National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Engineering. In 1996 he was awarded the Extraction and Processing Technology Award from TMS. In 1999 and 2004, he was the Technical Chairman for the 23rd and 28th annual International Precious Metals Institute meetings.  In 2001, he was a Co-organizer of a TMS International Symposium on Cyanide. In 2002 he was a Co-editor and Organizer for the Mineral Processing Plant Design, Practice & Control International Symposium. Also, in 2002 he received a Distinguished Alumni Award from Montana Tech. In 2003 he was a Co-organizer of the Fifth International Ian Ritchie Symposium on Hydrometallurgy as well as for the Symposium on Global Development of Copper and Gold Deposits. In 2005 he is co-chairman for the Northwest Mining Association Annual Meeting and an invited plenary speaker at the 27th meeting of the Institute of Mining Engineers of Peru. In  2005 he received the Distinguished Researcher Award from Montana Tech. In 2006 he is the chairman for the Northwest Mining Association meeting held for the first time in Reno , Nevada . In 2007 he will serve as co-Chairman for a joint SME-TMS Precious Metals Symposium.  Lastly, in 2008 he will once again serve as a co-organizer for the Sixth International Symposium on Hydrometallurgy.
