Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in Minerals (ISSN 2075-

submissions of full research papers and comprehensive review articles for
peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Advances in Economic Minerals
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/minerals/economic_minerals/
Guest Editor: Prof. Dr. Michael Meyer
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 August 2012

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at minerals@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access, with Article Processing
Charges (APC) waived for well prepared manuscripts. However, a fee of
250 CHF may apply if English editing or extensive revisions must be
undertaken by the Editorial Office. For details see:
http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and
promotes more frequent citations as indicated by several studies. Open
access is supported by the authors and their institutes. More information is
available at http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/minerals/instructions/. Manuscripts should be

Minerals (ISSN 2075-163X) is an international open access journal of
mineral resources, mining and mineral processing. It publishes reviews,
regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists
to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as
possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full
experimental details must be provided so that the results can be
reproduced.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
http://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/121/.

In case of questions, please contact the Editorial Office at:
minerals@mdpi.com

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
MDPI AG
