Melbourne. Australia,

Elizabeth Lewis-Gray, Chairman of CEEC (Coalition for Energy Efficient Comminution) announced today the launch of the inaugural CEEC Medal, an annual award intended to recognise and celebrate the contribution of outstanding published papers, articles or case studies profiling beneficial strategies for eco-efficient comminution.

“The CEEC Medal is intended to bring attention to “best-in-class” research or documentation in the field of eco- efficient comminution. This area of mineral processing provides significant opportunities for improved profit and energy savings in the mining industry.”  Ms Lewis-Gray said.

The CEEC Award will contribute to raising the status of beneficial eco-efficient comminution strategies by:

1. Recognising and celebrating individuals or teams who make an outstanding contribution in the field of beneficial eco-efficient comminution strategies
2. Acknowledging individuals or teams who contribute to building global knowledge of beneficial eco-efficient comminution practices by sharing examples of best practice and leadership in eco-efficient comminution and inspiring similar excellence in others
3. Identifying those who build greater awareness and understanding in the wider community of the benefits of knowledge transfer in the area of eco-efficient comminution and energy savings.

The CEEC Medal recipient will be announced in June, 2012. The Medal winner/s will receive international acknowledgement. As a global award, the winning author/authors will be recognised in their home country at an appropriate ceremony.  Papers and articles submitted for consideration for the CEEC Award need to be innovative; of a standard suitable for technical review, written or published within the past 12 months; ideally demonstrate on-site pilot studies, and display breadth and depth of publication of results and findings within the mining sector and research field.
