This 1-day course has been specifically designed for non-miners working in or associated with the mining industry – who need to understand the key fundamentals about the mine cycle. The course takes you from exploration through to mine closure.

You will learn about: the key geology concepts; drilling and sampling; resource estimation and classification; how a mining company takes a project through to a mining reserve; how to interpret company reports on their mineral resources and exploration results; the mining cycle for underground and open pit mines; the basics of capital and operating costs and how they are incorporated into project valuation;  pre-feasibility and feasibility studies; mine planning to optimise production; mine closure; and of course the key terminology of the mining industry.

The course attendees will be given informative overviews and insights into:

• The mine life cycle

Feedback from attendees:

• Great course and great presenter! Thank you Mark and Diana 
• It gave a great overview – Mark was an excellent presenter and made it relatively simple to understand. 
• Great verve! Warm and welcoming staff. Terrific food and refreshments. A comprehensive course that I would recommend to professionals new to mining or non-technical staff seeking a greater understanding of the What, How and Why mining is executed. (OPS Manager)
