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:"Gold Ore Processing" Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Gold is among the first metals used by man because it naturally occurs in its native state. Over the years different process flowsheets have been developed with the purpose of optimising gold extraction from a particular feed material using the most appropriate technology.\nDue to numerous factors ranging from technical e.g. geological\, mineralogical\, metallurgical and economical to non-technical such as geographical\, environmental and political\, diverse industrial flowsheet for gold production have been developed in different part of the world.\nIn this course we introduce participants the basic concepts and operations involved in gold extraction.  Attendees of the course will:\n•	Study the introductory concepts of the mineralogy of gold bearing ores and minerals and the effect this has on the method of gold extraction used.\n•	Learn the basic operations and equipment used in gold extraction.\n•	Understand the structure of flowsheets and their application to various gold ores and minerals.\n•	Understand metallurgical testwork required to characterise a gold ore.\n•	Develop skills and knowledge in achieving maximum productivity at minimum costs.

SUMMARY:"Metallurgical Testwork\, Interpretation & Process Design" Short Course
DESCRIPTION: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.\nNot two ore bodies are the same. Although development of a suitable process flowsheet to treat an orebody appears to be a relatively straightforward\, selecting the optimum process whilst maintaining the maximum recovery and revenue is a complex task.\nAspects of metallurgical test program ranging from initial sample selection and ore characterisation to understand metallurgical response of an ore to complex pilot tests. It is necessary to develop metallurgical testplan that can cater for the variability in the orebody\, whilst still providing optimum economics on the majority of the process plant feed. This course will provide the participants with the knowledge to:\n•	Why and what metallurgical testwork?\n•	Developing metallurgical testwork\n•	Identify the testwork requirement\n•	Definition of the laboratory testwork appropriate for the study type and sampling requirement\n•	Test results and data interpretation\n•	Sample variability and pilot tests\n•	Process circuit design and flowsheet development based on testwork outcome\n•	Risk and mitigation in testwork

SUMMARY:“Advanced Mass Balancing and Inference” Short Course
DESCRIPTION:In order to optimize a mineral processing plant there are nine steps required:\n1.	Collect data (measurement)\n2.	Collate data (into a database)\n3.	Flowsheeting\n4.	Mass Balance\n5.	Inference\n6.	Determine Operational Parameter\n7.	Model fit\n8.	Simulate\n9.	Optimise\nMass balancing is often taught using least squares minimization. Inference is generally not taught and in the absence of inference\, model fitting is rendered very difficult\, which is why mineral processing simulation is generally much more difficult than it should be.\nIn this course we focus on mass balancing and inference. Whilst mass balancing is taught initially from a conventional least squares minimization approach\, the course then discusses a probabilistic or information theory approach. Information theory is a relatively new area of mathematics which is only available to participants through this course. By using information theory one can infer ore properties at each stream in great depth (i.e. multi-mineral particle distributions); thereby providing the basis for later steps (particularly modelfitting).

SUMMARY:“Advanced Excel VBA for Engineers and Scientists” Short Course
DESCRIPTION: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 to a significant loss in productivity.\nIndeed there are ‘Horror stories’ where poor Excel management has lead to millions of dollars in direct losses through wholesale loss of data and models.\nThe course focuses on providing a strategy to ensure that Excel is used efficiently.  At the end of the course participants will be invited to estimate the efficiency gain that is provided by using the strategies of the course.
