Quote:
"I am both honoured and excited to be the first recipient of the Vittorio de Nora Prize for Environmental Improvements in Metallurgical Industries. It is a prestigious and coveted award from an equally highly regarded organization. The award will significantly lift the profile of environmental improvements and increased energy efficiency in the energy intensive minerals industry. I hope that my contribution through the research already undertaken and the work planned as a result of the prize will further contribute to environmental improvements in metallurgical industries."
