SUMMARY:“Uranium Ore Processing” Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Uranium is known to occur in over 200 different minerals but most of these do not occur in deposits of sufficient grade to warrant economic extraction. Uranium ore can be extracted by open pit\, underground or in-situ mining methods.\nUranium mill process flowsheets and unit operations for yellow cake production vary based on chemical and mineralogical characteristics of the ore to be processed. Ore characteristics are a particularly important component of the understanding the process development. Numerous other factors such as geology\, radiation safety\, economics\, geography\, environment\, and regulations can change the uranium ore processing technology selection criteria.\nIn this course we introduce participants to the basic concepts and operations involved in uranium ore processing including:\n•	An overview of the various types of mining techniques in uranium industry.\n•	An introduction of the mineralogy of uranium bearing ores and associated minerals and the impact this has on the method of uranium extraction used.\n•	The basic operations and equipment used in uranium mills.\n•	The structure of flowsheets and their application to various uranium ores.\n•	Metallurgical testwork required to characterise a uranium ore.\n•	Meeting regulatory compliance for environmental and radiation concerns in the Uranium industry.

SUMMARY:“Water Treatment & Management in Mining and Mineral Processing” Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Water is fundamental to mining and mineral industry and widely used for processing and treatment\, heating\, cooling\, dust suppression\, etc. Managing water and effluent discharge quality throughout the mine life is key to efficient mining and has a big role in mining environmental impact and footprint.\nTreatment technologies often must deal with regulatory requirements\, environmental sensitivity\, social issues and conflicts and there are risks associated with each option. Mining companies must treat wastewater to highest standards\, need to recycle and have commitment to sustainable water use.\nIn this course we introduce participants the basic concepts of available technologies and operations involved in treatment and managing water and waste water in mining and mineral industries.

SUMMARY:WMMI Speakers’ Bureau Lecture with Daniel Kile
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Ore Microscopy\nEver since ore minerals have been mined\, there has been a need to identify them and discern their chemistry and associations. This information is essential to the mining industry to assess the value of the ore\, and to determine the most efficient means of concentrating the mineral of economic interest. This lecture will highlight some of the important observations and corresponding properties that can be evaluated with an ore microscope\, and give an overview of the basic equipment required to do so.\nThe reflected light/ore microscope used for ore microscopy was developed in the 1920s. In contrast to a transmitted light microscope that is used to examine rock thin sections\, an ore microscope utilizes vertically incident light to examine the metallic\, opaque minerals that are of economic importance. Optical properties of reflectance\, bireflectance\, and anisotropism\, as well as physical properties of cleavage\, twinning\, internal reflections\, and hardness\, as can be observed in an ore microscope\, will be summarized in this lecture\, in addition to a discussion and demonstration of some of the required equipment.\nDespite the advent of X-ray diffraction and microbeam techniques to determine quantitative chemistry\, the utility of the ore microscope has not been rendered obsolete. Interpretation of replacement and weathering processes\, textures\, and intergrowths can significantly affect the outcome of ore beneficiation – and only visual observation with polarized–reflected light can provide that information.\nThis will be a one-to-two hour lecture\, and will assume a basic knowledge of mineralogy. \nLecture Outline:\nThe ore microscope: Construction\, light path\nReflected light: Incident/bright field vs. oblique/dark field illumination\nPolarized light: Plane and crossed polars\nOre mounts & ore leveling press\nBasic Properties: Color\, reflectance\, hardness\nOptical Properties: Observations in plane polarized light (bireflectance\, cleavage); observations in partly crossed polarized light (anisotropism\, twinning\, internal reflections)\nGeneral Observations: Weathering/alteration\, replacement\, exsolution\, deformation\nMineral groups: Native elements\, sulfides\, sulfosalts\, oxides\, arsenides\nResources for ore mineral identification:  Texts\, charts    \nAuthor Biography\nDaniel Kile was formerly a Research Geochemist with the U.S. Geological Survey\, and currently is Scientist Emeritus with that organization\, as well as Adjunct Faculty at the Hooke College of Applied Sciences (Westmont\, Illinois)\, where he teaches Optical Crystallography. He has taught Ore Microscopy at both the Colorado School of Mines and at the Hooke College of Applied Sciences\, and was previously Adjunct Faculty at the Colorado School of Mines where he taught a semester class in Optical Mineralogy. He has written nearly 150 articles and abstracts in the fields of mineralogy and environmental sciences\, published in professional journals and magazines\, and has been a guest lecturer at numerous earth sciences organizations over the past 40 years.  \nOnly $5 per person!

SUMMARY:Project Management for Mining
DESCRIPTION:Project Management for Mining is a 3-day practical course focused on the successful delivery of minerals industry projects. Primary emphasis is placed on major greenfield mine development\, but the information presented is fully applicable to brownfield project undertakings. \nThe course teaches project management best practices\, and how they are woven together from initial mineral resource identification on through the project stages of opportunity\, viability\, planning\, execution\, and completion\, to delivery of a sustainable operating property. The course focuses on the key steps in each stage that must be properly executed to achieve project success. \nParticipants will be assigned to work on real issues faced by actual project managers in the field. Interactive case study discussions leading to valid solutions and practical usable tools are fundamental elements of the course.

SUMMARY:AME Mineral Exploration Roundup
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 2019 AME Mineral Exploration Roundup\, one of the world’s premier technical mineral exploration conferences. Hosted by the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia (AME)\, the 36th annual conference is held in Vancouver\, B.C. \nRoundup attracts more than 6\,000 people from over 40 countries representing all facets of the mineral exploration industry. Attendees include industry leaders and influencers\, government\, academics\, prospectors\, geologists\, investors\, and suppliers\, who come together to share their latest findings\, stories\, successes\, and innovative ideas to further the exploration industry in B.C. and beyond. \nCentred on the theme of Elements for Discovery\, Roundup 2019 will explore topics such as the role of mineral exploration for a low-carbon future\, B.C.’s copper advantage\, innovations\, and emerging technologies. Additionally\, the 7th annual AME Gathering Place at Roundup is a leader in showcasing Indigenous content and promotes important dialogue.
