Two papers of this issue deserve special attention. Both are placed outside of our traditional sections.

The first paper in this issue (V.А. Chanturiya, et al.) presents a science and technology forecasting for the Russianore mining and dressing industry, covering many sections of our journal. The paper describes the promising trends in development of research studies aimed at all-round utilization andadvanced high-level processing of natural and man-induced mineral raw materials in theRussian Federation. The advisability of improvement of all levels of studies, from development of efficient methods for oresprocessing characteristicsmineralogical-technological assessment based on equipment and instrument implementation, through todevelopment of high-performance and energy-efficient technologies for ore-preparation and disintegration processes, as well as combination and dry benefication technologies for finely disseminated ores, is substantiated.

The last paper in the issue (Ye.V. Ilyina), dedicated to the artistic quest of the remarkable painter P.K. Golubyatnikov, on the contrary, is not related to any of the existing sections – arguments are presented in favor of having a special section devoted to papers of this kind. The reasons for publishing this paper are well explained by D.V. Shekhirev, Deputy Chairman of the editorial team. It may be added to his interesting reasoning, that the Publishing house “Ore & Metals” has been putting out a series of art journals for 10 years already, so, appearance of this paper should not be very surprising for the regular authors and readers.
