____________________________________________
Geologists, mining engineers, project managers, and other professionals in the mining industry are eager to learn more about mineral resource estimation, applied geostatistics, resource classification, and reporting.
This program is designed to provide a forum for constructive discussion and learning on how model-mine-mill reconciliation can help improve the productivity of the mining operation. The participants will learn the reasons for successfully meeting the production targets. They will also realize that this is a multidisciplinary task where every discipline (geology, mining, processing, etc.) plays a role.
Digital course materials will be provided which contain a subset of PowerPoint slides and other materials (book chapters and published papers). These materials are digitally protected files, which can be printed out prior to each session for effective participation.
