The Brazilian National Meeting of Mineral Treatment and Extractive Metallurgy (ENTMME) reach its 25th edition and forty years of realization in 2013, being the most important meeting in mineral treatment and extractive metallurgy in Brazil. Together with the XXV ENTMME will happen the 8th edition of the Meeting of the Southern Hemisphere on Mineral Technology. The XXV ENTMME and VIII MSHMT are both directed to researchers, professionals, managers, professors and students from mining, metallurgy, oil, environment and hydric resources sector.
