“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” ― Henry Ford

Aside mine automation, one of the evolving areas of focus for the mining industry is BIG DATA. Yet, a lot of engineering professional have lost the art of conveying meaningful information to support data-driven decision making. The seminar will explore some of the myths, good, bad of data visualisation with emphasis on key principles and best practice

This 2-day course has been designed specifically for non-miners (technologists, IT Professionals, Accountants, Marketers, Human Resource Specialists, Legal Professionals, Investors, Bankers, Management Consultants, etc) who are working in or associated with the mining industry. This is a course for everyone who wants to understand and gain greater knowledge about the key fundamentals of the mine cycle and the mining industry – getting your head around the technical “Mumbo-Jambo”.

METALLURGY FOR NON-METALLURGISTS

This 1-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, project managers, technologists, suppliers to the resource industry, accountants, administration staff, mineral sector investors, marketers, financial advisors, and those either dealing with mineral processing (extractive metallurgy) or wanting a better understanding of the principles of extractive metallurgy. This course will help you in wrapping your head around the technical “Mumbo-Jambo” of mineral processing for personal or work benefits. Participants will obtain an understanding of the critical steps in typical flowsheets, including the economic and technical drivers that need to be considered in plant design and operation.

ROCK FRAGMENTATION & OVERBREAK MANAGEMENT

This 2-day course is designed to fulfill the demands of both mining and construction blasting personnel by developing a comprehensive, practical grasp of rock breaking concepts. This training is designed so that anybody who attends will be able to return to work not just with a better understanding of blasting, but also with new strategies to use at their site to increase blast performance and explosive efficiency. Participants will study and debate the foundations of rock blasting, such as correct product selection, design of critical blast variables, overbreak control measures, and vibration controls, throughout this course.

APPLIED MINERAL ECONOMICS & PROJECT VALUATION

This 2-day course delves in the overview of the Mine to Market mineral process flow and all associated applications of economic evaluation procedures. The time value at resource at a point in time, discounted cash flow analysis, discount factors (risk & uncertainty), and inflation is also explored. Discounted cash flow ranking criteria, and discounted average cost. The course applies a systematic planning process, and economic data at each phase of the planning cycle. The notion of mineral resource and reserve Reporting as it applies to the value undeveloped deposits, initial assessments, and capital values & development strategies.

SURFACE MINE EQUIPMENT SELECTION & OPTIMISATION

This 2-day workshop will present a comprehensive a cradle-to-grave approach for leading mine equipment application , which is important for the efficient use of mining equipment in general. The course employs a systematic approach for selecting, planning, utilising, and replacing mining equipment, as well as a multi decisional framework for getting the most of a fleet of mining equipment. Finally, the training equips participants with the skills and resources they need to do NPV analysis, discounted cash flow analysis, and other relevant operating KPIs for maximising the value of a mining fleet.

PROJECT PLANNING & CONTROLS FOR OIL & GAS

This 3-day workshop-based learning is intended for people who wish to gain a thorough grasp of project planning and control techniques in any business or sector. This course will cover how to create precise plans, timelines, and budgets for very complex projects, as well as how to use these plans to keep projects on track. This course does not require a degree; simply apply if you have relevant work experience and need to develop new skill sets in project planning and project controls.

DRILLING TECHNIQUES AND BEST SAMPLING PRACTICES

This is a 2-day crash course specifically put together for geologists, surveyors, engineers, metallurgist, mine laboratory personnel, drilling professionals, geological technicians and all those involved in the general workflow of drilling activities. This course has been intentionally designed for anyone who wants to understand or seeks further knowledge about the full spectrum of activities involved in drilling and sampling activities within the mining industry.

GEOLOGY 101 – GEOLOGY FOR NON-GEOLOGISTS

This is a 2-day compact course designed for geologists, engineers, metallurgists, surveyors, mine supervisors, technicians, accountants, administration staff, mineral sector investors, marketers, financial advisors, and all those directly or indirectly involved with mining or seeking a better understanding about geology as a discipline and how ore deposits discoveries are made and mined out. This course will help you in wrapping your head around the technical “Mumbo-Jumbo” of geology for personal or work benefits.
