Volume I contains plenary lectures addressing key issues confronting copper producers, namely future markets for copper, aspects of copper market forecasting, the financial performance of the industry, copper extraction technologies, and future developments and environmental constraints. This proceedings volume also includes eleven papers related to movement of copper and the industry's outlook, divided into the two broad areas of economics and finances and markets and trends. Six papers on new developments in the fabrication of copper-based alloys and materials and nine papers on a wide range of topics related to copper applications close out the volume.

Volume III contains 33 electrorefining and 15 electrowinning papers. The electrorefining papers provide a valuable record of the status of the industry and summarize research and development work in progress. The electrowinning section outlines the state of the industry and many supporting research activities. Topics include reduction of energy costs, stainless steel plating technology, and techniques to monitor and control impurities in the electrolyte. Lastly, several papers deal with modeling the electrorefining process to obtain better process control and enhance plant automation.
