  El proceso de cianidación para la extracción de oro y plata de la mena se ha empleado desde 1898, cuando se usó por primera vez en Nueva Zelandia y África, y luego en Estados Unidos. Es un proceso muy eficaz, capaz de extraer oro en cantidades inferiores a un 1% de onza a partir de una tonelada de roca con más del 90% de eficacia.Dado que existen riesgos medioambientales, un plan de manejo de cianuro es de vital importancia para una mina en funcionamiento. En algunas ocasiones, al no existir dicho plan, se han producido incidentes relacionados al cianuro que han sido adversos para el medio ambiente. El Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (UNEP) está desarrollando un código internacional para el manejo de cianuro. La implementación y la adherencia a este código, aumentada por el juicio de científicos e ingenieros experimentados, servirá para reducir la cantidad y la gravedad de incidentes relacionados con el cianuro.Los cursos de "Manejo del cianuro en minería" ofrecen al usuario los antecedentes necesarios para el desarrollo de un plan de manejo de cianuro que cumpla con los requerimientos únicos de cada mina en funcionamiento. Los temas que se tratan en esta serie incluyen: 1: Chemistry of Free and Complexed Cyanide 2: Analysis of Cyanides 3: Geochemical Properties and Environmental Fate of Cyanide 4: Toxicity and Environmental Properties of Cyanide 5: Water Management and Discharge Strategies 6: Treatment Technologies for Cyanide and Related Compounds "Estrategias de gestión y descarga de aguas" es el quinto en una serie de seis cursos y abarca los componentes de un plan de gestión de aguas incluido el balance de aguas, manejo de cianuro, prácticas de gestión de aguas y plantas de tratamiento y descarga.Este curso abarca 8 sesiones, cada una de 30 a 60 minutos de duración, más figuras, tablas y referencias complementarias, además de tres revisiones interactivas que confirman los logros de los objetivos de aprendizaje.

The overall objective of this course is to assist reclamation engineers, scientists, and managers to obtain environmental permits in a timely fashion. It is also intended to help other people, who may be closely associated with permitting, to understand the permitting process. The course also covers steps that will help a permit holder to maintain continued compliance with the permit's requirements, thus avoiding fines, penalties, and, even worse, cessation orders. The concepts that underlie permitting are universal: the social license to operate, including respect for local judgments, environmental assessments, environmental management systems, and that post-mining land use must comply with local or regional planning guidance. Because of the universality of these concepts and the frequent sharing of permitting rules among mining jurisdictions, this course concentrates on those principles that will assist mine planners to obtain permits in a timely fashion. The course is filled with examples of regulations and helpful guidance from permitting jurisdictions in Canada and the United States, where the permitting process is mature and fully developed. These have been culled from the author's long experience with reclamation and the legal framework that surrounds it. Given the multitude of jurisdictions that grant permits: US States and even some counties, Canadian Provinces, and Australian States, it is not possible to create a recipe for completing individual permit applications. The applicant is advised strongly to meet with the officials in its jurisdiction to learn about their specifics. This course, however, will enable the applicant to understand and respond expertly to these local specifics. Content The course comprises 24 learning sessions, each of 30–60 minutes duration, plus supporting figures, tables, images, references, suggested exercises, and interactive course reviews that confirm achievement of the learning objectives. The total duration of the course is estimated at 16 hours. Authors Lee W.

Este curso se desarrolla según un acuerdo de colaboración con Learning Strategies Group, una división de Simon Fraser University Business. Es parte de una serie de cursos sobre aplicaciones para la administración de negocios en minería.Comprender y manejar las interacciones entre el negocio, la comunidad y el gobierno se está convirtiendo en un componente de competencia administrativa y éxito organizacional cada vez más importante. El enfoque de este curso está en destacar la naturaleza y las dinámicas de interacción entre distintos actores con diferentes objetivos y preocupaciones (corporaciones mineras, comunidades, Primeras Naciones, grupos de interés, sindicatos, gobiernos) y el desarrollo de perspectivas, herramientas y estrategias que los líderes y gerentes de hoy pueden usar en terreno y en la sala de reuniones. Algunos ejemplos de los temas tratados, incluyen: Comprender responsabilidad y relaciones; Reconocer poder y valores; Convertir diferencias en ventajas; Crear expectativas claras como una base para relaciones que funcionan eficazmente; Desarrollar la capacidad de anticipar problemas y establecer estructuras proactivas para abordar las discusiones cuando éstas surgen; Reconocer y valorar las relaciones como ventajas; Saber cómo y cuándo usar negocación y consenso de manera apropiada y eficaz dentro de las organizaciones y con intereses externos y partes interesadas; Crear resultados sustentables mediante relaciones sustentables.

Today, sustainability is the key to the future success of mining and we carefully consider the long-term impacts of operations on our local communities. Sustainability means we consider the economical, environmental, cultural, and social aspects in the development of our operations as we strive to benefit local communities in the way we benefit from operating as their neighbours. Sound environmental practices result in improved air, water, land, and heritage resources. Benefits accrue to the environment, our people, our families, the broader community, and future generations. They also result in credibility with local communities in being able to manage the local resource and access to further resources in the future. Your company should be committed to providing guidelines, management, personnel, and resources necessary to minimise potential adverse effects of its operations on the environment and human health.

The cyanidation process for the extraction of gold and silver from ore has been employed since 1898 when it was first used in New Zealand and Africa and soon after in the United States. It is a very efficient process capable of extracting gold in amounts of less than one percent of an ounce from a ton of rock with over 90% efficiency. Because of the environmental risks, a cyanide management plan is of critical importance to a mining operation. The lack of such a plan, in some cases, has contributed to adverse environmental incidents involving cyanide. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is developing an international code for the management of cyanide. Implementation and adherence to this code, augmented by experienced scientific and engineering judgment, will help reduce both the number and severity of environmental incidents involving cyanide. The "Cyanide Management in Mining" courses attempt to provide the user with the necessary background for development of a cyanide management plan that meets the unique requirements of each operating mine. The full complement of courses in the series includes: Chemistry of Free and Complexed Cyanide Analysis of Cyanides Geochemical Properties and Environmental Fate of Cyanide Toxicity and Environmental Properties of Cyanide Water Management and Discharge Strategies Treatment Technologies for Cyanide and Related Compounds "Treatment Technologies for Cyanide and Related Compounds" is the last in the series of six courses. This course discusses cyanide treatment technologies, including cyanide destruction, biological treatment, cyanide recovery, natural attenuation and treatment of related compounds. This course comprises 12 viewing sessions, each of 30 - 60 minutes duration, plus supporting figures, tables and references, and three interactive reviews that confirm achievement of the learning objectives.
