SUMMARY:Cash Flow Evaluations for Mineral Projects and Operations
DESCRIPTION:During this 2-day course\, participants will become familiar with the concepts of a cash flow and discounted cash flow (DCF)\, as well as their application to mineral projects. \nThe course is structured as an interactive working session\, in which the instructor and participants will work together to develop a working cash flow evaluation model\, step-by-step. (A laptop computer with Excel and a working knowledge of Excel are prerequisites for the course.) \nBy the end of the course the participants will have developed: \nA working cash flow model suitable for the evaluation of a new project.\nAn understanding of DCF evaluation metrics.\nAn understanding of discount rates and the time value of money.\nAn evaluation of a steady-state operation.\nAn evaluation of an expansion project.\nAn evaluation of a cost flow to choose between several operational alternatives.\nA sensitivity analysis with tables and graphs.

SUMMARY:Project Management for Mining
DESCRIPTION:Project Management for Mining is a 3-day practical course focused on the successful delivery of mine development projects. Primary emphasis is placed on major greenfield mine development\, but the information presented is fully applicable to brownfield project undertakings. \nThe course teaches project management best practices\, and how they are woven together from initial mineral resource identification on through the project stages of opportunity\, viability\, planning\, execution\, and completion\, to delivery of a sustainable operating property. The course focuses on the key steps in each stage that must be properly executed to achieve project success.

SUMMARY:"Gold Ore Processing" Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Gold is among the first metals used by man because it naturally occurs in its native state. Over the years different process flowsheets have been developed with the purpose of optimising gold extraction from a particular feed material using the most appropriate technology.\nDue to numerous factors ranging from technical e.g. geological\, mineralogical\, metallurgical and economical to non-technical such as geographical\, environmental and political\, diverse industrial flowsheet for gold production have been developed in different part of the world.\nIn this course we introduce participants the basic concepts and operations involved in gold extraction.  Attendees of the course will:\n•	Study the introductory concepts of the mineralogy of gold bearing ores and minerals and the effect this has on the method of gold extraction used.\n•	Learn the basic operations and equipment used in gold extraction.\n•	Understand the structure of flowsheets and their application to various gold ores and minerals.\n•	Understand metallurgical testwork required to characterise a gold ore.\n•	Develop skills and knowledge in achieving maximum productivity at minimum costs.
