Exploration experts & mining financiers

Mining Exploration in Africa is a professional investment and mining science focused forum for mining experts and financiers. In today's uncertain financial markets, mining investment world-wide is taking significant injury. Investment houses are under duress and as the clearing houses for much of the investment funds allocated to new resource development projects, it is important to allow financial houses and mining exploration companies to communicate directly with one another in ensuring that African mining exploration initiatives are not left by the wayside. Use the forum to present to financiers, highlighting your company's investment case and business model. Lending banks, fund managers, corporate financiers and private investors looking for prospects are welcome to join.

Wanted: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and thiooxidans

Hi, can anybody recommend a good source of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and thiooxidans for bioleaching / refining of copper ores? The mines are new and in a remote area of Tanzania, and the mine owner is a beginner. So, if you can recommend a book or manual for the process, too, it would be wonderful!
Thanks!
