SUMMARY:Strategic Mine Planning with New Digital Technologies\, Risk Management and Mineral Value Chains
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Roussos Dimitrakopoulos\, McGill University\, Canada and Ryan Goodfellow\, McGill University\, Canada \nObjectives and Content\nAt the time of a continuing rebound of metal markets\, learn how the application of new digital technologies that can add substantial value to strategic mine planning and asset valuation. The new technologies and related tools integrate technical risk management while capitalizing on the synergies amongst the elements of mineral value chains through their simultaneous optimization – from mines to products to markets. \nLearn how you can improve performance by:\n• Learning the state-of-the-art strategic mine planning concepts and new approaches that unlock and add value to mining assets\n• Finding out how to minimize technical risks and produce optimal pit designs with strategic mine planning processes and the next generation optimization methods\n• Discovering methods and tools for the simultaneous risk-managing (stochastic) optimization of mining complexes and mineral value chains from mines to products to markets\n• Discovering how the new developments will help you capture the “upside potential” in mine plans and minimize “downside risks”\, as well as increase cash flows\n• Exploring and learning from real-world examples\, practices and comparisons in diverse applications\, from gold and copper mines to iron ore and nickel laterites\n• Understanding how to deal with blending and non-linear geo-metallurgical interactions in the processing streams\, as materials are transformed from bulk material to refined products\n• Participating in hands-on computer sessions that show how to increase project value by employing new risk-managing simultaneous optimization models \nTo register or for more information please contact:\nDeborah Frankland\nCanada Research Chair and Laboratory Administrator\nCOSMO – Stochastic Mine Planning Laboratory\nDepartment of Mining and Materials Engineering\nMcGill University\nFrank Dawson Adams Building\, Room 123A\n3450 University Street\nMontreal\, Quebec H3A 0E8\nCanada\nTel.: (514) 398-5461\nE-mail: admcrc.mining@mcgill.ca

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.
