SUMMARY:Canadian Mining Expo
DESCRIPTION:Timmins Mine Expo regarded as a must-see trade show \n\nBy LEN GILLIS\n\n\n\nThe Big Event\, Northern Mines Expo which opened at the McIntyre Community Building in Timmins is becoming well known as Canada’s largest gold mining show. More than that however it is also becoming known as one of the must-see and must-go industrial trade shows in Canada.\n\nThat’s according to several exhibitors who have made the trip to Timmins to put their goods and services on display\, because they know that all the major players in the mining and mining supply industries will be looking.\n\nDeborah Brideau\, of the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton said she takes part in about a dozen industrial trade shows every year. She is the Marketing and Sales lead for the UNB Online Occupational Health and Safety Programs.\n“The people at the industrial trade shows\, we talk to one another. And we were told that the Timmins mining show is one of those shows we should take part in\,” said Brideau.\n\nShe said health and safety programs are in demand across Canada\, especially in resources industries such as oil and gas\, and now mining. She said UNB is internationally recognized for its health and safety programs and needs to maintains a strong presence in the marketplace.\n\n“We’ve been to other mining shows\, but the Timmins show is one that people are talking about. Everyone in the mining industry is represented here\,” she said.\n\nBrideau added the UNB online courses cater to many health and safety professionals already established in industry\, but might need an occasional refresher course\, or a specialized course. She said it is critical to keep in touch with that market.\nJason Levesque and his partner Denise Coulombe\, both of Sudbury\, were at the mine expo to showcase Sluice Inc\, a business that sells hats and clothing products that feature a mining motif.\n\n“We are here to show off our products and see if miners are interested to show themselves off as miners. That’s what we specialize in\,” said Levesque. He said he knows that miners are usually proud of the work they do and so he has a line of goods that fit that scheme.\n\nLevesque said he has taken part in the Sudbury mining show but now sees that the Timmins mine expo is larger than he expected.\n\n“Yeah\, it’s a big event here in Timmins. There’s lot of miners and mining companies in town coming by. I figured it would be a good event for us.”\n\nLevesque is a Sudbury-based artist who is also a hardrock miner. He said he’s confident the products will sell themselves\, once the business becomes better known. He said that’s why he signed up for the Timmins show. Selling merchandise is not the only benefit he said. He was also handing out scores of business cards for www.sluice.biz for online marketing.\n\nTimmins Mayor Tom Laughren\, who is a big fan of the show because of the heavy equipment displays\, said he was pleased to see that the show has grown significantly in the past 10 years. He said the mining expo features the latest technology in the mining industry and that in itself will attract more people who want to see what’s new in the marketplace.\n\nAlong with heavy equipment\, the show features every conceivable type of supply from boots\, to coveralls\, to mining cap-lamps\, to shovels\, to drill bits\, to ventilation tubing to explosives.\n\nThe expo also features a mining related jackleg drilling competition\, which seems to be a crowd-pleasing event\, although jackleg drilling is not as common in modern mining as it once was.\n\n“This is not just a Timmins event. This is a regional event\,” said Laughren\, who referenced the positive financial impact the show has for the hotel and restaurant industry in Timmins.\n\nLaughren said all the hotels rooms in Timmins are booked and some of the trade show participants have booked hotel rooms in such places as Kapuskasing and Temiskaming Shores.\n\nLaughren said many of the exhibitors who have been in the Timmins show in the past have returned to Timmins because of the business they contacts they established during the mine expo.

SUMMARY:Risk Management for Mining Organisations: Tools and Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Effective risk management is integral to the success of any mine\, plant\, or corporate function. This course combines practical risk management tools and techniques\, with case studies of where they have been made to work and added value to an organization. \nRisk management is about predicting where things might go wrong and stopping them before they spiral out of control. It is also about identifying opportunities and taking steps to ensure you make use of them. \nRisk management allows us to put a framework around how we identify\, understand\, and control risks\, allowing us to manage them as a team\, be that as a shift\, or as an entire organisation. \nThe cost-benefit analysis required to ensure that your mine is resilient both technically and financially can be incredibly complex. Rarely are there enough financial or human resources available to manage all of the risks you face. Specific risk management tools and techniques can help you to prioritise where resources should be utilised\, and to proactively manage uncertainty. This helps to ensure that your mine makes best use of both the opportunities and threats it faces\, and is ultimately: resilient.

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.

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:“A Tale of Two Husteds” lecture by Jack Anthony
DESCRIPTION:The Palmer Lake Historical Society and the Western Museum of Mining & Industry are pleased to announce the second presentation of “A Tale of Two Husteds” by Jack Anthony!\nAbout six miles south of Palmer Lake\, East Husted and West Husted sprang up as railroad “tank towns” for the Denver & Rio Grande and the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe railroads. The two Husted depots midway between Colorado Springs and Palmer Lake became a place to pick up passengers and shipments of agricultural products. Both were thriving communities until the early 1920s. Then\, development of the United States Air Force Academy in the mid-1950s caused the remaining buildings to be either moved or demolished. Only the Reynolds Ranch House remains\, still in its original location east of Interstate 25 on the property of the Western Museum of Mining & Industry on Colorado Springs’ north side.\nJack Anthony is a graduate of the Air Force Academy. For almost 40 years\, he has served in various military\, intelligence\, and NASA roles as an engineer\, educator\, leader\, and operator. Jack successfully spear-headed the effort to have the Palmer Lake Star included on the State Register of Historic Properties. His presentation includes both sides and a short video.

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 the industry to quantify precision and the general pros and cons of these methods.

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Mine Water Management
DESCRIPTION:Water management is one of the key issues facing many mines in the 21st century. In response to requests by participants in previous webcasts on mine water management\, we now present two closely related webcasts on the topic: \nWebcast 1: Fundamentals of Mine Water Management\nWebcast 2: Advanced Mine Water Management and Treatment \nThe first course\, Fundamentals of Mine Water Management\, is intended to introduce participants to the basic technical and engineering issues\, as well as the solutions of managing mine waters. In this course\, we will focus on the basics of surface water management at mines\, groundwater management at mines\, mine water balances\, mine closure water management\, and the geochemistry of mine waters. The course will review the theory of mine water management\, explore best practices\, present case histories of successful mine water management\, and consider both surface water and groundwater analysis and modeling. \nIn the light of recent failures of tailings facilities as a result of mismanagement of water\, the course will also focus on risk management as a way to deal with the many unknowns of water quantity and quality at mines. In particular\, risk management as applied to the prediction and control of a mine’s water balance will be discussed. \nThe course will benefit those new to\, as well as those experienced in\, mine water management. For those new to or entering the field of mine water management\, this course will introduce current practice\, modern technical approaches\, and best standard engineering practices. On the basis of the course\, participants will be equipped to identify and manage solutions for best practice management of the surface waters and groundwaters of the mines with which they are associated or for which they may be responsible. \nThis webcast draws on and expands on the EduMine series of courses on mine water management. In addition\, the course will draw on those parts of the EduMine courses on tailings facilities\, heap leach pads\, and mine closure that deal with surface water and groundwater issues associated with mine waste disposal facilities. \nWe invite participants to tell us\, in advance\, which topics are of the greatest interest to them\, so that we may strive to tailor the presentations to the specific interests of the webcast participants.
