In recent years there has been a strong international move toward knowing and improving the quality of information used in the mining industry for mineral project exploration reporting and resource/reserve estimation. In Canada this trend has been accentuated because of recent, highly publicized scams that involved contamination of samples. An important aim of quality control procedures is to minimize the likelihood of such scams so that the public is not misled as to the economic potential of a mineral deposit. Quality control procedures also serve the technical purposes of identifying sources of and quantifying both random errors and unintentional bias in sampling, subsampling and analytical routines and thus provide the basis for improved procedures of data collection that translate into improved resource/reserve estimates. One of the important reactions in Canada to recent mining scams has been the implementation of what is known as National Instrument 43-101 (NI43-101) in which a wide range of requirements, relating to mineral project reporting and resource/reserve estimation, are laid out. These requirements identify a Qualified Person (QP) who is responsible for all technical matters related to obtaining and publicizing both assay data and resource/reserve figures. This course incorporates a variety of procedures designed to fulfill the requirements of NI43-101 insofar as standard, blank and duplicate samples can be used to define and monitor quality of geochemical and assay values that are the basis of deposit evaluation. The International Standards Organization (ISO) has developed a variety of widely distributed publications dealing with quality control systems for a wide range of industrial settings. The application of the ISO standards to resource/reserve estimation procedures necessarily involves all steps of the published procedures. Too often quality control is thought of only in terms of quantitative measurements. A broader perspective is essential and must include the categorical and qualitative data that are inherent in geological studies. This is a premium course which has been peer-reviewed by a committee appointed by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME).

Health and Safety in Exploration 4 is one of a series of courses developed from e3 Plus: A Framework for Responsible Exploration, a guideline developed by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) to help exploration companies continuously improve their social, environmental and health and safety performance and to comprehensively integrate these three aspects into all of their exploration programs around the world. e3 Plus provides the means for members to reduce social and environmental risk to their projects, to benefit local communities and to enable companies to become world leaders in corporate social responsibility performance (CSR). The intended audience for e3 Plus includes: the exploration sector, local communities, government organizations, non-governmental organizations, civil society, academia or any interested party. The complete series of e3Plus courses includes the following titles: Principles and Guidance for Responsible Exploration Social Responsibility in Exploration Environmental Stewardship in Exploration 1 - 2 Health and Safety in Exploration 1 - 4 Students of these courses please note that the first course in the series, Principles and Guidance, must be studied before any of the other courses.

Introducción Los botaderos de roca estéril y desmonte son estructuras enormes. El minado de carbón con voladura de montañas en British Columbia está creando las más grandes estructuras hechas por el hombre sobre la faz de la tierra. Estos inmensos botaderos miden hasta 400 metros de alto, contienen más de mil millones de metros cúbicos de material y, por lo general, forman pilas de desmonte en medio del valle o drenajes de roca. La inestabilidad de las estructuras ha generado gran preocupación entre los operadores de las minas y los entes reguladores del gobierno debido al riesgo contra la seguridad del personal, equipo e infraestructura, así como su impacto ambiental. A mediados de 1990, los representantes de la industria, Canada Centre for Minerals and Energy Technology - CANMET (Centro Canadiense de Tecnología para Energía y Minerales), el Ministerio del Medio Ambiente y el Ministerio de Energía, Minas y Recursos Petroleros conformaron un Comité de Investigación de Botaderos para promover el trabajo de investigación y garantizar el entendimiento común de estos botaderos. El curso "Diseño y Operación de Grandes Botaderos" se basa en tres documentos que se generan a partir de una serie de estudios dirigidos a mejorar el entendimiento del comportamiento y desarrollar una base de datos consistente para botaderos ... Manual de Investigación y Diseño (1991), Manual de Operaciones y Monitoreo (1991) y Revisión y Evaluación de Fallas (1992). Los consultores geotécnicos y los representantes de la industria más prominentes contribuyeron con su experiencia para llevar a cabo estos estudios. Los estudios están siendo ampliamente distribuidos por el Ministerio de Energía, Minas y Recursos Petroleros con la esperanza de que sea útil en todo lo relacionado a botaderos mineros para que sean estables, seguros y económicamente factibles. Un completo curso y referencia técnica para operadores de mina y consultores en las áreas de investigación, planeación, diseño, operación y monitoreo de botaderos de mina. Incluye la revisión y análisis de los tipos de fallas de mina. Authors Tim Eaton MSc P.Eng (Editor) Scott Broughton (Co-Autor) Klohn Crippen Berger (Co-Autor) Piteau Associates Engineering Ltd.

This course is about heap leaching: the design of heap leach pads; the mechanics of preparing the mined ore for placement on a pad; the construction processes involved in placing materials on pads for leaching; the operation of heap leach pads, including the application of fluids that liberate the metals in the ore; the physics and chemistry of the seepage of fluids through the ore; and the ultimate closure of the heap leach pad when mining ends. Objectives By the end of the course you should know enough to plan, establish, operate, and close a heap leach pad. And if you choose not to do all this alone, you will have sufficient information and knowledge to retain and manage specialists, consultants and contractors, hence to undertake the activities attendant on successful heap leaching.

Beneficiation, Extraction and Metallurgical Processes is the second of two courses on extractive metallurgy by the author, written for university students as well as practicing engineers and metallurgists. Extractive metallurgy deals with ores as raw material and metals as finished products. Metallurgy has been transformed into a modern science as a result of developments in chemistry and chemical engineering. This series of courses is an introduction to the subject based in part on a course offered by the American Chemical Society under the title Metallurgical Chemistry. The full series includes... Metals, Ore Deposits and Minerals Beneficiation, Extraction and Metallurgical Processes Beneficiation, Extraction and Metallurgical Processes covers liberation and separation of minerals, extractive processes including pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, and the theory of metallurgical processes including oxidation and reduction, hydration and hydrolysis, and the energetics and kinetics of reactions.
