Each generation has a time when they look back and say, "Wow that was a strange time!" No doubt, each of us has many examples of how we learned new ways to meet, worship, shop, and more. We learned Zoom etiquette, how to properly socially distance and the technique of the virtual hug. We all have our favorite face covering.
TMRA Members and Friends: Welcome! I really mean that, as in times of challenge and stress, our message needs to be that YOU are both welcome and appreciated! For this issue, you’ll note that our theme is "We are ... TMRA Strong" with an emphasis on our 2020 Annual Meeting, set for October 18-20 at The Horseshoe Bay Resort just outside of Marble Falls, Texas in the Texas Hill Country.
This month's newsletter is focused on our Annual Meeting. Read on to learn how to register, book your room, become a sponsor or exhibitor, plan your time and much more!

COVID-19 – We’ve come to think of it as such an awful word, but it’s a word we’ve had to live with for months. Unfortunately, we’ll live with it for many months to come. So, what do we do about the Annual Meeting? Plans are underway to hold the meeting but with several modifications, most of which we have become accustomed to already. During our stay at the Horseshoe Bay Resort, masks (bring your favorite ones) and social distancing will be required. We’ll also be doing temperature checks. All meals will be served by waitstaff, as there will be no buffets. During all receptions, drinks will be served by waitstaff as we will not be able to sit or stand at a bar. Click below to learn more.
It’s Sunday night and you’ve arrived early for golf or sporting clays on Monday. Now what do you do? You go to the Welcome Reception! Located in the Granite Ballroom, this event opens the Annual Meeting and gives all attendees a time to enjoy a casual atmosphere reconnecting with old friends and making new ones! Come and enjoy the heavy hors d’oeuvres; drink tickets will be provided. You’ll also have an opportunity to visit the exhibit booths. Dinner is on your own after the reception.

Other than smaller events, TMRA has not been to the Horseshoe Bay Resort for our Annual Meeting since 2007. It’s a beautiful location just right outside Marble Falls, so come see for yourself! Click below to learn more about room rates and how to reserve your space.

The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly the defining global health crisis of our time, with governments and health services alike racing to slow the spread of the virus. But beyond the impact on global health, COVID-19 has shown its potential to create devastating social, economic and political challenges that will have lasting repercussions. The mining industry’s response has been swift and aligned, and has been driven by two key priorities.
The future of mining is not just about the deposits and reserves that have not yet been efficiently tapped. It also is not just about the people who will make up the mining community years from now - though both are crucial to the sector's future. A central element of mining's future is technology, be it those ideas which keep miners safe, keep mining equipment moving in the most optimised manner, new ideas that will keep commodities moving from pit to port, or that reduce or even eliminate the ecological impact of the industry.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced it will provide $118 million in funding to support research and development of technologies to make coal power generation clean. The so-called Coal FIRST (Flexible, Innovative, Resilient, Small, Transformative) initiative aims to convert coal, biomass, and waste plastics to generate "clean and affordable" carbon-neutral electricity and hydrogen.
