Abstract

Dear readers and colleagues, our journal covers a wide range of modern problems of the mining and metallurgical complex – from the stage of ore dressing, obtaining mineral concentrates to the stage of obtaining finished products in the form of alloys and products of various functional purposes; assessment of the metals market, project efficiency, production organization, etc. Recently, the search for unconventional solutions and the creation on their basis of new technologies for the production of metals and their concentrates from complex, persistent and substandard raw materials are becoming relevant. I would like to wish the authors and readers of the journal close cooperation between research organizations and enterprises of metallurgy in the field of setting scientific and practical tasks and financing scientific research. The magazine tries to constantly improve its work, to make new trends. It is included in the American CAS database, and the owner of the journal Institute of Metallurgy and Ore Beneficiation has become a member of the international association of connecting digital libraries for identifying objects at Crossref, the leading global DOI registration agency, and is its provider, the journal is also included in the eLIBRARY.RU electronic library, RISC. The staff of the editorial board is being replenished. This time, Dr., Associate Professor Sr Dr. Md Azree Othuman Mydin from the University Sains, (Penang, Malaysia) and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eng. Didik Nurhadiyanto – Senior Lecturer at Yogyakarta State University, (Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Indonesia) have been included in our editorial membership. The editorial board hopes for further fruitful cooperation with the authors and will try to keep the interest of readers in the published materials.
