A short course in fire assaying will be held at Montana Tech, part of the University of Montana, from Aug. 19 to 24.
The event, titled “Fundamentals and Applications of Fire Assay,” is being organized by the institution’s Center for Advanced Mineral and Metallurgical Processing.
The first portion of the course will include lectures on sampling theory, methodology and application, history, and fusion slag chemistry. This all-day session will also include lab work.
The remainder of the course will involve tours of Placer Dome’s Golden Sunlight mine and the Stillwater Mining complex, among other operations.

A course slated for Sept. 17-18 in Reno, Nev., is designed to attract anyone involved in blasting at hardrock mines and quarries.
Participants will learn about blasting theory, products and practices. An optional third day will be dedicated to controlled blasting for slopes and underground excavations.
The event will unfold at the Silver Legacy Resort, and applicants must register before Sept. 8. The fee is US$575 for two days or US$850 for three.

Exponor 2001, an international mining exhibition, will be held Nov. 20-24 in the Antofagasta region of northern Chile.
The region hosts many large open-pit mines, and each year about US$1.5 billion of equipment and services is sold there.
The event is small, compared with Expomin, an exhibition held in Santiago every two years. Rougly 200 exhibitors, most of which are local, are expected to participate.
A technical conference is to run simultaneously with the exhibition.
