SUMMARY:“Lithium Processing (Hard Rock and Brine)” Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Lithium (and its chemicals) has been a hot commodity over the last couple of years due to new applications of this metal in consumer electronics\, smart grid storage\, lithium ion batteries and electric battery powered vehicles.  Lithium based chemicals are produced either from lithium brines or from lithium bearing minerals.\nLithium projects are not easy to develop and there are examples of project failures due to lack of knowledge and understanding of complexity in impurity removal or temporal component of grade and composition in brine deposits or chemistry issues in hard rock processing.\nIn this course we introduce participants to the basic concepts and operations involved in lithium processing including:\n•	An overview of the mineralogy and geology of lithium bearing ores and genesis and the impact this has on the processing plant.\n•	A comparison between hard rock lithium mining vs. harvesting lithium brines.\n•	The unit operations and equipment used in lithium processing (hard rock and brine).\n•	Typical flowsheets and their application to various lithium ores (coarse vs. fine particle separation).\n•	Metallurgical testwork required to characterise a lithium ore or brine.

SUMMARY:Analysis of Mining Financials
DESCRIPTION:This course will enable you to develop an awareness of the relevant financial information you can discover about a mining corporation from its audited financial statements. You will also have an appreciation for how accountants are challenged with exercising professional judgment on qualitative issues involving alternative accounting standards\, balanced with a need for numerical precision. You will recognize that professional judgments included in financial assessments are similar to those made in demonstrating probable and proven mineral reserves. \n“Analysis of Mining Financials” uses the business environment in the mining industry as a relevant context for understanding the financial statements of mining corporations. It isolates select accounting aspects as being fundamental to your becoming an informed reader of audited financial statements . . . including balance sheets\, income statements\, cash flows statements\, statements of shareholders’ equity and the audited notes. Examples of financial statements of both large and small mining companies are used and analyzed to illustrate these fundamentals. \nThe course draws on credible sources to highlight relevant characteristics of accounting for mining. The objective of this material is to identify some prominent aspects of financing the corporate mining strategy\, delve into the distinct areas where there are issues in accounting for the mining industry\, and summarize the risks that are inherent in understanding the financial statements of those involved in mining. The course provides the tools to establish a profile of a company’s overall financial status and identifies the attributes that contribute to financial health and flexibility. \nParticipants are advised to bring a laptop computer (with MS Excel).

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:Cash Flow Evaluations for Mineral Projects and Operations
DESCRIPTION:During this 2-day course\, participants will become familiar with the concepts of a cash flow and discounted cash flow (DCF)\, as well as their application to mineral projects. \nThe course is structured as an interactive working session\, in which the instructor and participants will work together to develop a working cash flow evaluation model\, step-by-step. (A laptop computer with Excel and a working knowledge of Excel are prerequisites for the course.) \nBy the end of the course the participants will have developed: \nA working cash flow model suitable for the evaluation of a new project.\nAn understanding of DCF evaluation metrics.\nAn understanding of discount rates and the time value of money.\nAn evaluation of a steady-state operation.\nAn evaluation of an expansion project.\nAn evaluation of a cost flow to choose between several operational alternatives.\nA sensitivity analysis with tables and graphs.

SUMMARY:Open Pit Slope Design and Implementation
DESCRIPTION:This course presents an overview of the process for the design and management of slopes in open pit mines. Starting with a description of the information required to support a slope design and the methods of data collection\, it progresses to the design procedures for bench configurations\, inter-ramp slopes and overall slopes\, including the analytical procedures commonly in use. Specific examples of design will be presented and discussed in the class to illustrate the factors that could affect pit slope stability. \nThe implementation of the designs will be discussed in terms of both the operating procedures for mining and optimizing the stability of pit slopes. The aspects of risk associated with pit slope design and excavation will be presented. Monitoring methods for pit slopes and other management procedures will be discussed. Participants will be encouraged to present a short (max 30 min.) presentation for discussion in the course. \nAttendees may want to purchase a copy of the book\, Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design\, (pictured at right) for further study at leisure. Note that it is not essential for course attendees to have the book while at the course.
