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. Lithium projects are not easy […]

The purpose of this course is to provide mine staff the tools required to effectively gather geotechnical data for rock mass classification and rock mechanics design calculations. The majority of rock falls in mine operations are structurally controlled. Design is largely controlled by existing structure. It is critical that site characterization be performed so as […]
The ultimate objective of the course is to assist the mine operator in making decisions employing sound geotechnical input with reference to case histories for relevance to safety, weak rock mass assessment, reduction in dilution, and backfill. This course provides the operators of underground mines with the tools required to make on site pillar and […]
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 […]
This intensive 3- or 5-day course has been presented over 950 times to more than 21,000 people since 1970. Organized for managers, engineers, geologists, landmen, scientists, accountants and others concerned with evaluating investments, this course relates to the economic analysis of income producing and service producing investments using discounted cash flow analysis criteria and procedures. […]
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. Uranium mill process flowsheets and unit operations for yellow cake production vary based on chemical and […]
Tunneling Fundamentals, Practice and Innovations is an annual short course for industry professionals that provides a comprehensive overview of tunnel planning, design and construction across all applications and all geologies. Through presentations by the tunneling industry's top-practicing experts combined with one-of-a-kind hands-on labs and demonstrations, this four-day course will provide you with a sound understanding […]
World leaders in digital high-speed imaging and explosive education, Vision Research and the Colorado School of Mines, have announced a collaboration to develop a university-level short course on high-speed imaging's wide range of applications with a focus on experimentation with explosives and ballistic applications. The short course is a carefully structured introduction to main topics […]
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 […]
