ADVANCE YOUR CAREER

Summary Do you have the most up-to-date information in drilling and blasting to tackle common problems such as drill fleet optimization, explosive selection, and mine-to-mill optimization? Blasting has completely changed in the last five years, yet alone the last twenty to fifty years and there is relatively little information widely published. Today we understand shock breakage, velocity matching, and powder factor are outdated and should never be used in the blasting process. New methods have taken the place of these concepts that allow blasters and engineers to make significant improvements to the drilling and blasting process. This course will cover the new updates in the basics of drilling and blasting which you will use on a daily basis in your career of blast engineering. This course will cover critical topics such as an introduction to modern blasting, how rock actually breaks from explosives, the commercial explosives and initiation systems used today, and the drilling technology available in the industry. The course is divided into short video modules with questions following each lesson to reinforce key concepts. Duration:     3 Hours Access:       90 Days Price:           $399 USD Category:    Mining Who This Course is For This course is ideal for anyone who is working in the drilling and blasting program at a mine or works around the process and would like to gain additional background on the subject. The course is designed to give new developments in the field to the seasoned professional while also teaching someone completely new to the topic about the basics. Presenter Dr. Anthony Konya - Dr. Anthony Konya holds a PhD in explosive engineering and is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AcademyBlasting.com.

This course is the second in a comprehensive series of five mine ventilation courses by the author, written for practicing professionals. The complete series includes the following titles ... Mine Ventilation 1 - Introduction Mine Ventilation 2 - Hazard Awareness Mine Ventilation 3 - Design Basics Mine Ventilation 4 - Advanced Design Mine Ventilation 5 - Operations The basic focus for this course series is on airflow engineering. This is because getting the right amount of fresh air to the workplace is the single most important success factor in meeting the quality and quantity requirements of an efficient, safe and healthy underground mining operation. The courses are also designed to ensure the ventilation practitioner has an adequate understanding of at least the basic issues involved in mine ventilation, and therefore knows when a ventilation problem is of such magnitude as to need to call in a specialist, and has sufficient background to be able to liaise technically with that specialist. Mine Ventilation 2 - Hazard Awareness ensures that you, as ventilation officer, are aware of toxic substances in the underground environment, are familiar with the toxic and other effects of each as well as the available methods of testing and monitoring. This course also ensures that you understand the principles of mine fires and explosions as well as your duties, and the response of other officials and the workers, in the event of a fire or other emergency. Major topics covered include... Gases, Dust, Radiation and Biological Hazards Gas, Dust and Fume Surveys and Monitoring Mine Fires, Explosions and Emergencies Escape, Entrapment and Refuge Authors Rick Brake   Duration: 16 Hours Access: 90 Days Category: Mining Level: Specialize Version Date: May 7, 2009 Read More

La mayoría de las minas produce relaves, el producto final que resulta de la extracción del cuerpo mineralizado, el procesamiento del mineral y la recuperación de minerales y metales valiosos. Los relaves son el producto de desecho que se genera a partir de la extracción, la trituración, la molienda y el tratamiento químico del mineral. Este curso se centra en los relaves como parte del proceso de minería, tipos y características de los relaves, tipos tranques de relaves y sus componentes, diseño de tranques de relaves, desempeño, construcción, operación y cierre, todo esto ilustrado con historias de casos. Este curso está dirigido a cualquier persona involucrada en los distintos aspectos de los relaves mencionados anteriormente; se incluyen ingenieros, ambientalistas, geólogos, operadores y reguladores.

This course introduces an approach to local economic and community development that focuses on the creation of a "parallel economy" in communities impacted by the extractive industry - an economy that may be inspired and sustained by the increased population and economic output of the mine but that is entrepreneurial in nature and focused on strengthening local capacity for wealth creation. Enterprise Facilitation® is a community development methodology whose aim is to assist local, self motivated entrepreneurs to transform their own ideas into viable enterprises. The approach, used in community development for the past 25 years, has come to the attention of mining companies for its ability to engender not only sustainable development in communities but also a local "can do" attitude that promotes community pride and long-lasting gratitude for the providers of the Enterprise Facilitation® service.

Molienda 1 – Principios fundamentales es un curso dirigido a ingenieros de procesos, operadores de molino y estudiantes de procesamiento de minerales. Éste es el primero de una serie de tres cursos de ingeniería de molienda desarrollado por Metso Performance Solutions. los otros títulos de la serie son Molienda 2 – Operación de unidades y Molienda 3 - Circuitos. Entre las materias que aborda este curso están: aspectos básicos del procesamiento de minerales, partículas, pulpas, conminución, clasificación, dinámicas, física y seguridad general en la molienda. En los últimos años, la industria dedicada al procesamiento de minerales ha disminuido su fuerza laboral, ha instalado nueva tecnología con equipos más grandes y ha automatizado gran parte de la planta, con el objetivo de aumentar la productividad y el desempeño y de mantener los costos operacionales en un mínimo. Como resultado de estas iniciativas, hoy en día el operador se ve enfrentado a tomar decisiones nuevas y mejor informadas. Para cumplir las necesidades de capacitación a nivel de operación de molinos, Metso Performance Solutions ha creado un Programa Automatizado de Capacitación para Operadores de Molinos. El programa completo incluye una serie de cursos de procesamiento de minerales para operadores de molinos e ingenieros de procesos en Molienda y Flotación. Estos cursos han sido adaptados para ser presentados a través del sitio Web de Edumine (en info@metso.com podrá obtener detalles). Un operador bien entrenado se traducirá en mayor rentabilidad, mayor producción, operaciones más seguras, mejor presencia anímica, mejores leyes y recuperación y comunicaciones más fluidas.

El curso "Molienda 3 - Circuitos" está diseñado para ingenieros de procesos, operadores de molinos y estudiantes y es el tercero de una serie de tres cursos sobre teoría y práctica de molienda diseñados por Metso Performance Solutions. Los temas abarcados incluyen aspectos básicos de los circuitos de molienda, circuitos de molinos AG y SAG, y circuitos de molinos de bolas y de barras. En años recientes, la industria de procesamiento de minerales ha disminuido su fuerza de trabajo y ha instalado nuevas tecnologías con equipos más grandes y ha incorporado automatización a nivel de la planta, todo esto con miras a aumentar la productividad y el desempeño, al tiempo que se mantienen los costos operativos al mínimo. Como consecuencia, ahora el operador debe tomar más y mejores decisiones informadas. Para satisfacer las necesidades educacionales al nivel de operación de molinos, Metso Performance Solutions ha desarrollado un Programa Computarizado de Educación para el Operador de Molinos (Computer Based Mill Operator Education Program). El programa completo incluye un conjunto de cursos de procesamiento de minerales para operadores de molinos en Molienda y Flotación, los cuales han sido adaptados para su presentación en la red en Edumine (detalles disponibles en info@metso.com). Operadores bien capacitados son sinónimo de ganancias más altas, más rendimiento, operaciones más seguras, mayor confianza, mejor ley y recuperación y una mejor comunicación.
