SUMMARY:Mine Planning - Strategy
DESCRIPTION:This webcast introduces key mine planning concepts. The drive to exploit a mineral resource\, such that it adds as much value as possible to the mining business\, requires a continual update of the mine plan and the rapid implementation of any value-adding opportunities as they arise. Planning a mining operation requires a unique approach that differs from other industries. On completion of the course\, participants will be able to recognize and use key levers in mining such as Mining Method Selection\, Process Route Selection\, Scale of Operation and Sequence & Scheduling to effectively unlock value from their mining operations. \nThis course requires participants to undertake numerous calculation based exercises to effectively demonstrate the impact of each of the key levers that will be addressed. All participants will be provided with template/pre-filled excel spreadsheets to minimize time spent on data entry. Good use of excel is therefore required.

SUMMARY:Quality Control of Assays
DESCRIPTION:In recent years there has been a strong international movement toward knowing and improving the quality of information used in the Mining Industry for resource/reserve estimation. 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.

SUMMARY:Mineral Property Valuation
DESCRIPTION:This course examines the various approaches and methods of developing valuations for mineral properties and projects as well as mining companies. International standards are reviewed and the Canadian CIMVAL standard is discussed in more detail. The three valuation approaches (Cost\, Market\, Income) are examined along with the various methods within each approach. Techniques for risk assessment are described. Reporting requirements are examined and a suggested table of contents for a valuation report is discussed.

SUMMARY:Mining 101
DESCRIPTION:This course covers the basic concepts of mining and mineral processing: how mines are found\, how they are built\, how the ore is processed\, how the waste is disposed\, how mineral products are marketed\, and some ideas about where mining will be in the future. \nParts of the course require some basic numeracy and high school science. However all of the material is taught in a friendly\, non-threatening manner and is quite easily understood by someone who likes to watch Nova or the Discovery Channel.

SUMMARY:Open Pit Slope Design and Implementation
DESCRIPTION:This course presents an overview of the process for the design and management of slopes in open pit mines. 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.
