Poor sampling, compounded by poor laboratory subsampling, leads to questionable geostatistics, and generates severe conciliation problems between the geological model, the mine, and the plant estimates. These problems also affect the price of commodities and the validity of environmental assessments. The result is a huge money loss for the company involved, evolving later in likely […]
Instructors: Marcelo Godoy, Newmont Mining Corporation, USA; Roussos Dimitrakopoulos, McGill University, Canada; and Guy Desharnais, SGS Canada Inc., Canada Content and Objectives This course is designed according to the latest regulations on public reporting of Mineral Resources. It aims at showing how state-of-the-art statistical and geostatistical techniques help answering the requirements of those regulations in […]
More than 90% of quantitative professionals (inclusive of Engineers, scientists and analysts) use Excel at a basic level. Yet possibly less than 10% would have received any guidance on how to use Excel effectively. Hence many professionals use Excel in a manner that much of their work is not shared effectively with their colleagues leading […]

In order to optimize a mineral processing plant there are nine steps required: 1. Collect data (measurement) 2. Collate data (into a database) 3. Flowsheeting 4. Mass Balance 5. Inference 6. Determine Operational Parameter 7. Model fit 8. Simulate 9. Optimise Mass balancing is often taught using least squares minimization. Inference is generally not taught […]
Manufacturing process in steel industry undergoing changes for making steel better and better in terms of quality, cost & efficiency.

This has enabled designer to make product with […]
Project Management for Mining is a 3-day practical course focused on the successful delivery of mine development projects. Primary emphasis is placed on major greenfield mine development, but the information presented is fully applicable to brownfield project undertakings. The course teaches project management best practices, and how they are woven together from initial mineral resource […]
The metallurgical testwork program is generally the most important critical path item for process design of a circuit and if it is not implemented in a well-structured and framed way by an experienced subject matter expert it can become the main reason of a mining project fatal flow. Not two ore bodies are the same. […]
Metals and alloys are used in a great variety of applications. Understanding how metals behave and how they can be obtained by processing raw materials is valuable to employees in this area. Extraction of metals applying various technologies, including physical separation, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy and electrometallurgy. Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgists Workshop is an important learning platform […]
