This course is the first in a series of courses that cover safety and rescue procedures to be used in prevention, preparedness and rescue operations for accidents or disasters at surface and underground mining operations. This course focuses on recognition, effects, treatment and instrumentation for mine gases. The course also serves as a guide to good practice at any time when people are working in physically dangerous mining situations. Other courses in the series include... Mine Safety and Rescue 2 - Underground Fire Hazards Mine Safety and Rescue 3 - Terrain, Cold and Other Hazards Acquiring a basic knowledge and understanding of mine safety and rescue is essential in order to be well prepared for any dangerous occurrence at the workplace. The mine safety and rescue courses provide in depth coverage of the theoretical application of mine safety and rescue techiques. Practical application of the rescue techniques covered in these courses requires supplementary physical training of rescue teams. The author has been training in rescue awareness and preparedness for over twenty years and provides on or offsite training services to mining operations. Mine rescue work is demanding and at times dangerous. Mine rescue teams are highly trained and skilled personnel. They must have an intimate knowledge of their equipment and master all the skills required to accomplish rescue missions. It is important that mine personnel receive periodic instruction and training in the duties they will be required to perform in the event of a mine accident or disaster at their operation. Once the basic mine rescue skills are learned, training and practice are required to develop a competent mine rescue team that can work together and accomplish rescue objectives. These courses have been derived from the "Mine Rescue Manual" developed by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, British Columbia, Canada. The courses are now supported and presented by the author, who has extensive experience in mine rescue training and safety procedures.

This is a training course for all mine personnel involved in underground coal mining. The course is an overview of the major safety issues pertaining to flame cutting and welding in coal mines. It is meant to introduce hazards rather than provide in-depth safety training on the many hazards present on a mine site. Because every operation is different, you may not encounter all of the situations presented. There may be others that are specific to your mine that are not included here. If so, you should be made aware of these through training and/or working with an experienced mentor. Your mine is required to provide the training and equipment necessary to keep you as safe as possible while working on the property. It is up to you to learn this information, and to use it. The video clips used in this training are taken from the NIOSH video "Tame the Flame: Flame Cutting and Welding Safety for Underground Coal Miners". Coal mines can be dangerous places. They are developed in solid fuel and are constantly leaking methane, commonly known as natural gas. Miners can work safely in these environments, but if things go wrong, it can be disastrous. The explosion that occurred at the Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia, USA, on April 5th, 2010, killed 29 miners. While MSHA (the US Mine Safety and Health Administration) had not yet determined exactly what happed at Upper Big Branch at the time this course was written, it is clear to all that it was a gas explosion. Other explosions in mines in China and elsewhere in the U.S. have claimed thousands of lives. While this training course focuses on coal mines, other types of mines can be considered gassy. If you are working in any of these mines, you must know how to do it safely. A simple mistake could cause the entire mine to blow up, killing you and everyone in the area. The video clips included in this training show miners at three coal mines in the US, two in Kentucky and one out west in Wyoming. Your host, Ted Teske, visits these mines and learns from experts at all three about the dangers associated with using flame cutting torches and welders when methane is present. Most importantly, he learns how to protect himself and the others in the mine. While the mandates of the mining regulatory agencies are law in the US, they are also comprehensive enough to be considered best practice for mining in countries throughout the world. The author is a Certified Mine Safety Professional as well as an MSHA Certified Instructor for both surface and underground. This course material was developed originally for the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and is compliant with MSHA regulations. Authors Elaine T.

This course is the third in a set of three courses on Mine Planning and follows on from the previous two Mine Planning courses. Mine Planning 1 - Strategy focused on three of the five main levers for value creation as part of the strategic mine planning process (including mining method selection, process route selection and scale of operation). Mine Planning 2 - Operations then went on to illustrate the use of the final two levers including sequence and scheduling and cut-off grade policy. Mine Planning 3 - Optimization introduces you to mathematical optimization concepts which often form the basis for many of the computerized planning tools that are commercially available today. It is important to understand how these tools work and the fundamental algorithms behind them to aid the mine planning process. Scope This course focuses on the use of mathematical optimization techniques and processes. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to develop basic mathematical programming models and be able to solve this in Excel for the purpose of allocating limited resources for maximum benefit (within the mining context). Coding and scripting are beyond the scope of this course.

  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 discipline of accounting is generally divided into two distinct sub-disciplines: financial accounting and managerial accounting. While the two are similar in that they both generate and use financial information, they do so in different ways and for different purposes. A major difference between financial accounting and managerial accounting relates to the flexibility with which the financial information is generated and presented. Financial accounting must follow accepted accounting standards. The information is then available to individuals outside the organization and can be audited. Managerial accounting uses a decision-usefulness criterion and is oriented to the future. The information is prepared for, and used by, internal management. In fact, many companies would consider much of the information generated by the managerial accounting system to be proprietary and would definitely not wish it to be available to individuals outside the organization. It often relates to existing or attainable competitive advantages and is highly confidential. This course covers how managerial accounting can be used to help managers make decisions in the planning phase of the business cycle, within a mining context, and addresses the following topics. step-by-step examples of how to create a master budget, pro forma balance sheet, and pro forma income statement examples of relevant costing analyses to support decision-making in specific situations capital budgeting analyses of cash inflows and outflows discounted cash flow methods: net present value, internal rate of return accounting-based methods: payback, accounting rate of return Authors Craig Emby   Duration 7 Hours Access 90 Days Category Financial Level Specialize Version Date December 21, 2018   ​Need to train a team?

Leadership … what is it and how do I know whether I am an effective leader or manager? This course will introduce you to different styles of leadership, and help you determine which one(s) you indentify with the most, as well as what kind of leader you want to be. You will meet historic and current experts in this field, and learn why certain styles are more effective in one situation than another. We will also challenge you to learn about other leadership styles that may work better in your organization, with a workforce that is becoming more diverse, and that includes people from different cultures, backgrounds, and generations. This course is part of the Leadership Development series. While each course in the series is designed to stand alone, it is highly recommended that you complete this course before moving on to the other courses. This will ensure that we have a common understanding of what leadership entails, and common language to use in working through the entire course series. The Leadership Development series was developed for Edumine by Dr. Elaine Cullen, President of Prima Consulting Services, and by Trudy Gallinger, Director of Curriculum Development for Prima Consulting Services. We draw upon a wealth of knowledge and wisdom from those who are thought leaders, practitioners, and professors in the art of leadership. We provide references for the many wise teachers and guides we used to create this series, and hope you will take the time to learn from them as well. How we have put the series together, however, and the unique ways we have presented the material as it relates to the mining industry, is ours alone. Authors Elaine T.
