SUMMARY:AME Education Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural AME Education Series – April 20-21 at SFU Segal Building in Vancouver. \nThe AME Education Series is a series of sessions and workshops aimed at providing professional development and networking opportunities to AME members. See the two-day program below for details! \nThursday\, April 20 \nSocial Media\, Crisis Communications for Exploration Companies \nThe rapid spread of information on social media platforms\, the growth of digital content viewership and increasing public interest in the mineral exploration and development industry requires companies better understand how to navigate and take advantage of these tools to succeed today and in the future. With new technology coming on-stream\, the 24-hour news cycle is also dramatically changing how quickly companies need to respond when facing a crisis. This session will focus on best practices for utilizing social media and responding in a crisis. \nWorking Together: Building Social Responsibility and Aboriginal Relationships \nThis “interactive story-telling” session will immerse participants in the stories and real-life experiences of mineral explorers. We will discuss important social responsibility and Aboriginal themes\, such as maintaining the “social chain of custody\,” cultural awareness and sensitivity\, early engagement and community participation as well as reconciliation in BC. \n Friday\, April 21 \nExploration Safety for Management and Project Supervisors \nThis one-day course will provide you with techniques and tools for keeping your project team safe. From exploring a culture of safety and new regulatory changes to an interactive session on creating emergency response plans\, this course will help prepare you for safe\, responsible exploration in the 2017 field season.With tools and strategies for handling hazard and risk assessment and for managing teams in the field.

SUMMARY:Valuation of Mineral Projects Based on Technical and Financial Modelling
DESCRIPTION:This course aims to enhance an understanding of the business of mining. Actual operating mine valuations are a central focus of the course. \nThe basics of quantitative finance and the key interface with the accounting cash flow model will be covered as part of the course. No prior knowledge is assumed but the treatment is intensive. What is assumed is that attendees have had some exposure to the technical aspects of minerals and mining. \nWorkshop sessions are also an integral part of the course delivery and use will be made of the IC-MinEval software which automates the generation of Excel™-based spreadsheets to produce models for a wide range of mineral projects. These models can be saved as fully-linked workbooks and continued use is quite independent of the software. Attendees can generate their own models which can be preserved indefinitely and have normal Excel functionality. \nParticular attention is given during the workshops to demonstrating how financial models should be set up with a rate of production appropriate to the size of the resource. Realistic associated capex and opcosts are determined with reference to CostMine. The circumstances in which it is appropriate to set up models based on a straight discount rate basis compared to including debt are outlined. In the latter case the approach to determining the appropriate level of debt will be explained. \nAnalysis will be undertaken during the workshop sessions on the financial performance indicators generated and there will also be an indication of the valuation that could be placed on the asset. Sensitivity analysis will be undertaken on key variables. Particular attention will be given to why sensitivity on variables such as mining dilution should not be considered. Consideration will also be given to the role of financial models in identify those technical variables that have the greatest impact on financial performance and then back-engineering that to the corresponding technical risk. \nDiscussion will be aimed at enhancing the level of understanding demonstrated in the analysis of the financial performance indicator generated and the degree to which conclusions can be supported by the assumptions made. \nIn addition to the presentation slides\, attendees will receive a copy of the book Metals and Energy Finance\, authored by Prof. Buchanan. \nParticipants are expected to have their own laptop computers available for this course.

SUMMARY:Metal Mining Discharges - Impacts and Controls
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this course is to encourage environmentally-sensitive mining practice by educating mining engineers and environmental professionals about impacts of metals on fish\, other aquatic species\, and human health. A related objective is to promote collaboration between engineers and scientists with respect to prospecting\, design\, development\, permitting\, operation\, and closure of mines to reduce discharge of metals to the aquatic environment. \nThis course is an overview of metals and related “semi-metals” (aluminum\, arsenic\, cadmium\, chromium\, copper\, gold\, lead\, manganese\, mercury\, nickel\, selenium\, silver\, tin\, uranium\, and zinc) that are mined or emitted as by-products of mining. We will begin with a description of aquatic ecosystems\, and how mining and other human activities discharge metals and acid rock drainage (ARD) to these ecosystems. We will then focus on properties of metals\, principles of metal toxicity\, exposure pathways\, factors affecting metal toxicity\, and acute and chronic effects of each metal on aquatic organisms and human health. There will be a discussion of source control and remediation of metal contamination and ARD at mine sites. The course will conclude with a small group exercise in which class participants will present and discuss case studies that illustrate what has been taught.
