Message from the Editor (June 2007)
The Mineral Resources Engineering(MRE) Journal's first issue (Jan-March 2007) has already been printed and delivered to members and libraries at member institutions for free. The second issue is ready to print and the third is under preparation. I believe that the Journal will soon regain its Impact Factor rating as a marker of academic excellence based on sound peer review and editorial policy. I also believe that, you would help me in bringing the Journal to a very reputable position encouraging your colleagues in your institute and other institutes in your country in writing good quality papers to the journal. The on-line journal will be open to the public with no charge.
