This Academy is designed for geologists and resource professionals looking to strengthen their technical skills and improve resource confidence, grade control, and operational performance. Covering core topics such as orebody interpretation, sampling and QA/QC, geological modeling, geostatistics, mineral resource estimation, and reconciliation, this Academy provides practical, real-world knowledge that can be applied directly to exploration, resource development, and production challenges.
Equip your geology teams with the tools needed to reduce uncertainty, control dilution, and unlock greater value from every stage of the resource lifecycle.
This Academy is perfect for:
Duration: 9 hours
This course for beginners in exploration geology, people requiring a basic understanding of ore deposits, students, and anyone who is inquisitive about mineral deposits and how these form. The course provides an overview of the three major rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks), and introduces the geologic processes that form or influence ore deposits.
Duration: 3 hours
This course provides a non-technical introduction to the basic concepts of geology and mineral exploration, with numerous examples, figures and images of mining.
Duration: 16 hours
In this course, you will learn how probability graphs can supplement analyses done using histograms, and how this can be beneficial when interpreting mineral exploration data. The course explains data distributions and populations. You will learn that probability graphs are an easy way to estimate the forms of distributions and their parameters.
Duration: 5 hours
Principles and Guidance for Responsible Exploration is one of a series of courses developed from e3 Plus: A Framework for Responsible Exploration, a guideline developed by the PDAC to help exploration companies continuously improve their social, environmental and health and safety performance and to comprehensively integrate these three aspects into all of their exploration programs around the world. The eight principles presented in Principles and Guidance are common to all situations and explorers should aspire to meet them. Guidelines are offered to assist practitioners in converting the principles into action. Essentially, the principles and guidance are designed to answer the question “what is expected of us and why?”
Duration: 12 hours
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the topic, including the application of bulk sampling in a project exploration / evaluation context, the nugget effect and other statistical issues, planning a bulk sampling program, grade verification and metallurgical testing.
Duration: 25 hours
This course incorporates a variety of procedures designed to fulfill the requirements of NI43-101 insofar as standard, blank and duplicate samples can be used to define and monitor quality of geochemical and assay values that are the basis of deposit evaluation.
Duration: 10 hours
Air Photo Interpretation is a must for anyone who needs to identify and apply the basic principles and techniques. In this courses you will examine many air photos and learn the techniques of air photo interpretation.
Duration: 4 hours
Field Portable X-ray Fluorescence analyzers are quickly becoming prevalent within the mining industry. The ease of use, reliability and accuracy provided by this technology allow for quick decision making at low cost in real time. This course introduces the technology, application, operation and safety issues of field-portable XRF instrumentation.
Duration: 18 hours
This course introduces the traditional techniques used to estimate mineral resources and reserves from geological data, including methods such as polygonal, triangular, and cross-section approaches. It focuses on the principles, assumptions, and practical applications of these conventional estimation methods used in early resource evaluation and reporting.
Duration: 17 hours
This course will help build awareness of what to watch for when using each contour method, when a method is most suitable, and when it is not.
