Quote:
“TMS has historically been one of the leading organizations involved in dissemination of research and development in the extractive metallurgy industry. In my early career, attending TMS meetings, reading TMS journals and publications, and getting involved in society affairs at the committee level were all instrumental to my development as a young professional. I am therefore truly honoured to receive the 2005 Extraction and Processing Science Award.”

—David B. Dreisinger on behalf of the Extraction & Processing Science Award Winners
