INTRODUCTION

Here is a five-minute overview of information freely available on the internet about flotation in mining. We will update and add to it so that it is the leading ever-green publication on the topic. For example, just as we finished editing the first draft, we picked up the July 2006 issue of International Mining with a comprehensive article "Floating to the Top". Thanks to a gentlemen's agreement with John Chadwick who makes the magazine happen, we are able to link you straight to this article. Thanks, John.
