Giorgio Binetti is Works Manager of the Porto Vesme smelter of Ammi Sarda s.p.a., part of the Italian EGAM group. He obtained a degree in chemical engineering at Turin Univ. and has been associated in many capacities with the horizontal distillation plant of Monteponi at Vado Ligure until 1966 when he was appointed to the ISF smelter in Sardinia.
Jonce Koteski studied mining engineering both in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, and in Moscow, USSR. He was associated as General Manager with the development and operation of the Sasa and Zletovo mines in Macedonia and became Managing Director of the new zinc-lead smelter of Topilnica za Cink i Olovo “Zletovo” at Titov Veles from the initiation of the project.
Derek TempleTMS was educated at the Royal School of Mines in London and at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He is currently Director and Chief Executive of Imperial Smelting Processes Ltd., Avonmouth, U.K., concerned with the development and exploitation of the zinc-lead blast furnace process.
