This course covers the fundamentals of mobile mining equipment product support contracts. The underlying ideas have been developed and tested at sites globally since 1982. The scope is confined to large surface mining vehicles: haul trucks, shovels, rotary drills, and support equipment. The course provides background to the evolution of mining equipment product support contracts followed by an overview of the primary types of product support contracts offered in the mining industry (including their features, commercial terms, and administration). It also describes risks and mitigation strategies as well as key management issues that need to be addressed for a product support contract to succeed. The course is intended for mining professionals who are engaged in the maintenance process, either in line functions or in consulting roles, whether they are designing programs or delivering them. It is also a course that will help professionals in other functions at a mining operation or consulting company to understand the maintenance setting. The companion course Maintenance 101: Mobile Mining Equipment covers the fundamentals of mobile mining equipment maintenance for large surface mining vehicles.

Este curso ha sido traducido al español por la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú con el patrocinio de la Compañía Minera Antamina S.A. Este curso está dirigido a ingenieros y geocientíficos profesionales dedicados a informar sobre proyectos mineros a un emisor en el mercado de valores canadiense. Asimismo, es una fuente de referencia de los estándares para informes sobre proyectos mineros para los tenedores de propiedades, analistas de valores y entidades reguladoras en general.Este curso ha sido desarrollado y revisado para el Programa de Desarrollo Profesional del Instituto Canadiense de Minería, Metalurgia y Petróleo.El curso proporciona los lineamientos para la preparación de un informe técnico bajo el Instrumento Nacional 43-101 - Estándares de Divulgación para Proyectos Mineros, Formulario 43-101 F1 - Informe Técnico y Política Relacionada 43-101 CP (NI 43-101). El NI 43-101 establece los estándares para toda divulgación pública de información técnico-científica sobre proyectos mineros. El NI 43-101 entró en vigencia el 1 de febrero de 2001 y es una ley que se aplica en Canadá. Esta establece que toda revelación debe basarse en las recomendaciones hechas por una "Persona Calificada " y, en algunas circunstancias, que esa persona sea independiente del emisor y la propiedad. El NI 43-101 también establece que los emisores presenten estos reportes técnicos en fechas específicas y formatos preestablecidos. Este curso ha sido revisado en base a la versión del Instrumento Nacional 43-101 publicado el 8 de abril de 2011, el cual entró en vigencia en Canadá el 30 de junio de 2011.

This Edumine course will introduce participants to the principles of mine haul road design, from road building material selection and characterisation, road-user (truck and traffic) requirements, through to performance benchmarking and evaluation as a basis for road maintenance management decision making. These skills will enable participants to evaluate their current haul road systems, recognise operational inefficiencies and implement continuous improvement strategies to reduce cost per ton hauled across the mine road network and improve road performance on a day-to-day operational basis. The training will provide participants with answers to practical mine haul road-operational issues such as: Why are good roads necessary - what are the benefits of an improved haul road design and infrastructure? What critical operational aspects should a road design consider? Equipment, materials and methods - what is required? How do you translate a design into practical construction techniques? When are dust palliatives appropriate - and how do they influence road management and cost per ton hauled? How do you benchmark a road design - what do you see, what does it mean and how do you fix the problem?

The scale and nature of mining projects may result in impacts to the receiving environment, including groundwater resources. These impacts need to be quantified before undertaking the project and throughout the mining lifecycle to ensure regulatory compliance, project sustainability, and environmental protection. Common groundwater impacts associated with mining projects may include: aquifer drawdown and/or reduction in groundwater flow due to pumping from groundwater production wells and/or dewatering of open pit/underground workings; loss of groundwater discharge to surface water such as springs, lakes or streams (of particular significance during winter baseflow conditions) due to aquifer drawdown/dewatering related to mining activities; seepage and associated contaminant transport from mine waste units such as waste rock piles, heap leach piles, tailings storage facilities, backfilled and/or flooded pits/underground workings; and off-site migration of contaminant plumes in groundwater aquifers (originating from mine waste units) and potential discharge of contaminants into the receiving surface water (springs, lakes or streams). The use of numerical groundwater models enables decision makers to study and evaluate potential impacts of large and complex mining projects. Sophisticated models and modelling platforms are, however, no guarantee of good modelling practice. The complexities of groundwater models used for impact assessment may even lead to misuse and/or misinterpretation. This course on groundwater modelling describes the broader concepts of groundwater modelling related to impact assessment for mining projects. Yet, these guidelines reflect generally accepted best practices in groundwater modelling and as such should be applicable to a wide range of groundwater modelling applications. This groundwater modeling course is based on the British Columbia Groundwater Modelling Guidelines which were commissioned by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment (BC MoE). This course has been modified and condensed to suit the format and (international) audience of an Edumine course.

This is a course for anyone concerned with sustainable community relationships in mining: professionals, managers, regulators, NGOs, community leaders and graduate students. The course explains how a mining company can earn and maintain a social license to operate. It begins with the business case for dedicating resources to the social license and describes the returns a company could expect from each successive level of license. The course also explores what can be done to make the issuer of the license more politically stable so that the company's social political risk is reduced and the community's readiness for sustainable development is enhanced. Finally the course looks at the overlap between these activities and areas of corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, and sustainability reporting. Part 1 of the course explains what a social license to operate is, why it is important to mining companies, and how the general management theory known as the "resource dependence view of competitive advantage" explains how relationships with stakeholders affect project feasibility and success. Going deeper, Part 2 describes the four levels of social license and the three boundary criteria that must be met to go from one level to another, and examines common factors that can cause the level of social license to rise or fall. Turning to the issuer of the social license, Part 3 of the course draws on social network analysis concepts to explore the many ways a community could be unable to issue a social license that is durable and socially legitimate, and looks beneath the stakeholder politics at the social capital patterns that can improve a community's capacity to issue a solid social license, while simultaneously raising the level of social license the community grants to the company.
