In Canada\, this culminated with the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 which incorporates\, in part\, general requirements pertaining to technical matters involved in obtaining assay data and the recognition that those data are of adequate quality to both publicize and form the basis of a resource/reserve estimation. \nThis course will demonstrate how the Qualified Person is able to meet the assay quality requirements of NI43-101. Topics to be discussed include: duplicate data collection\, use of standards and blanks\, simple statistics in the evaluation of standards\, recognition of outliers\, binary graphs as an interpretive aid to evaluating duplicate data\, and displaying and analyzing data. \nEmphasis will be placed on the use of simple statistical approaches that can be used to quantify data quality. Examples will be used to illustrate how sampling error\, subsampling error\, and analytical error can be determined\, and how such results can be used as a basis for improving data quality. Reference will be made to several procedures used in Industry to quantify precision and the general pros and cons of these methods.

Starting with a description of the information required to support a slope design and the methods of data collection\, it progresses to the design procedures for bench configurations\, inter-ramp slopes and overall slopes\, including the analytical procedures commonly in use. Specific examples of design will be presented and discussed in the class to illustrate the factors that could affect pit slope stability. \nThe implementation of the designs will be discussed in terms of both the operating procedures for mining and optimizing the stability of pit slopes. The aspects of risk associated with pit slope design and excavation will be presented. Monitoring methods for pit slopes and other management procedures will be discussed. Participants will be encouraged to present a short (max 30 min.) presentation for discussion in the course. \nAttendees may want to purchase a copy of the book\, Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design\, (pictured at right) for further study at leisure. Note that it is not essential for course attendees to have the book while at the course.
