At CSM Amela Imamovic, from Bosnia, has been spending time in the mineral processing lab, under the guidance of CSM and IMP@CT staff. She has been engaged in processing samples and learning techniques to help in the lab when she returns to Bosnia next week. Her visit coincided with the arrival of the Rados XRF Ore Sorter, so she has also had the opportunity to learn about this technology.
