Duration: 8 hours
This course provides a non-technical introduction to the basic concepts of mineral exploration, ore extraction, mineral processing, and mine waste management, with numerous examples, figures and images of mining.
Duration: 20 hours
Underground Mining Methods and Equipment is intended as both a course and a technical reference for an audience of engineers, operators, contractors, consultants, regulators, practising geoscientists and students in the mining sector. The course provides a comprehensive introduction and reference for those who require a solid grounding in selection, design and development of mining methods and equipment.
Duration: 4 hours
This course presents the features, design requirements, design guidelines and application of the different sublevel stoping methods.
Duration: 8 hours
This course is for anyone concerned with block caving operations. It provides a general introduction to a mining method that is becoming increasing popular as we are forced to mine more and more massive, low-grade deposits. The course covers advantages and disadvantages, basic elements of block caving, design issues, the undercut level, the extraction level, haulage and ventilation, safety issues, and economic issues.
Duration: 12 hours
This course is designed to give the operator a design procedure that has been developed in conjunction with academia and practicing operations. This design procedure has been implemented at over twenty underground metal mines around the world. The courses reference numerous authors in the field and apply their findings to arrive at tools for design.
Duration: 12 hours
Design Guidelines employs the input parameters for stress, structure, rock mass characterization, failure criteria and support procedures developed in Design Parameters as the basis for design methods and approaches for mine openings presented in this course.
Duration: 14 hours
This course focuses on the main concepts associated with investigating the financial impact of a number of key levers on the value of a mine plan. The focus is establishing financial optimality by planning and generating the best mine plan. Strategy focused on three of the five main levers for value creation as part of the strategic mine planning process (including mining method selection, process route selection and scale of operation).
Duration: 17 hours
This course is the second in a set of three courses on Mine Planning. Mine Planning 2 – Operations introduces you to the key mine planning concepts of sequence and scheduling as well as cut-off grade.
Duration: 20 hours
This course introduces you to mathematical optimization concepts which often form the basis for many of the computerized planning tools that are commercially available today. It is important to understand how these tools work and the fundamental algorithms behind them to aid the mine planning process.
Duration: 3 hours
This course will cover the new updates in the basics of drilling and blasting which you will use on a daily basis in your career of blast engineering. This course will cover critical topics such as an introduction to modern blasting, how rock actually breaks from explosives, the commercial explosives and initiation systems used today, and the drilling technology available in the industry.
Duration: 18 hours
One goal of this course is to describe methods for risk quantification, their advantages and limitations, and to give realistic (if not real) examples of their application.
Duration: 15 hours
This course shows you how to arrive at these essential decisions, by addressing the unknown variables with the best assumptions that can be made based on the information that is available.
Duration: 8 hours
The course includes practical applications of DCF methodology, with examples, to project evaluation, mineral process selection, process optimization, project expansion, selection of equipment and comparison of alternatives. This course is designed for an audience of mining professionals and managers who require a practical understanding of economic evaluation and financial analysis methods and their application to mineral projects.
