Stockpile 2000: Marine Alternatives for Domestic Reserves of Critical Minerals (Phase I Planning)

拟议讲习班的目的是确定划定矿石储量和以可用形式回收已查明商品所需的关键技术。最初的重点将是开发上述特定金属的技术，但讲习班的形式将足够灵活，以便能够根据与会者的投入审议其他战略性和关键材料。专家将向矿物技术和海洋工程领域的专业人士的特邀听众介绍立场文件。将组织研讨会，以便与会者可以对立场文件进行详细的评估和讨论，并准确记录所有相关的批评和更正。

The objective of the proposed workshop is to define the critical technology needed for the delineation of ore reserves and recovery of the identified commodities in usable form. Initial focus will be upon technology for development of the particular metals discussed above, but the workshop format will be flexible enough to permit consideration of other strategic and critical materials in response to the participant input. Position papers will be presented by experts to an invited audience of professionals in the fields of minerals technology and marine engineering. The workshop will be organized so that the position papers can be evaluated and discussed in detail by the attendees with all relevant critiques and corrections accurately recorded.
