OVERVIEW

About the Course:

This course will provide a new or relatively new entrant into the mining industry with a clear understanding of the fundamentals, workings and technical components of mining in general, and its application in the global industry.

Participants will learn about the technical aspects of mining ranging from exploration methods, geology, resource estimation, surface mining and underground mining to mine planning, mining methods and mine closures.

You will gain a sound understanding for the terminology used within the industry and gain knowledge of the motivation and factors that influence the technical and broader industry personnel whom they interact with on a day-to-day basis.

For those who need to become experts in the mining industry, this course will provide a fundamental background and starting point, and improve communication and negotiation with peers and stakeholders.

Key Learning Objectives:

Understand the make-up of the mining industry
Discover mine exploration techniques
Understand mine geology and ore body modelling
Analyse resource/reserve estimation and statutory requirements: JORC
Learn about mine planning and mine start-ups
Analyse mining methods, processes and practices – surface and underground
Understand mine closures, environmental, safety and legal considerations
Comprehend corporate governance, industry challenges and the future

Who Will Benefit?

This course is not a basic level introductory course. It has a specific techno-commercial focus for technical and business-oriented professionals who are either new to the mining industry or experienced in one part but could benefit from a wider perspective

New employees who need a good basic understanding/overview
Mid-level employees who have recently transferred within the industry
Bankers, lawyers, government, consultants, directors and other industry part
