About the Audience Participants should ideally have a background in geology, mining engineering, or mineral processing, as the course focuses on the technical and regulatory aspects of mineral resource reporting. Professionals with knowledge of regulatory frameworks, finance, or investment in the mining sector would also benefit, as NI 43-101 plays a key role in resource valuation and compliance. The course is most suited for geologists, mining engineers, consultants, and legal or finance professionals in the mining industry. Prior knowledge of technical reports in mining would be advantageous. About the Author Reno Pressacco is a consulting Mineral Resource geologist.  He holds a Masters Degree from McGill university and has over 37 years of experience spent in such roles as mineral exploration, mine development, mine production, and as a consultant to the mining industry. During his career he has played a key role in identifying the economic potential of the Matachewan gold deposit (Ontario) at the exploration stage.  This deposit achieved commercial production in 2013 and is now known as the Young-Davidson mine.  The Young-Davidson mine produced approximately 190,000 ounces to 205,000 ounces of gold in 2021 and is forecasted to produce between 185,000 to 205,000 ounces of gold for 2022 .  He was also fortunate to participate in the early stages of the Cerro Negro deposit (Argentina) where he was involved in the discovery phase and prepared some of the initial Mineral Resource estimates for the Eureka Vein.  The Cerro Negro mine produced approximately 260,000 ounces of gold in 2021. More recently he has participated in the crafting of the CIM Mineral Exploration Best Practices Guidelines (2018) and the CIM Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Best Practices Guidelines (2019).  He received the CIM Robert Elver award in 2020.  He is a member of the CIM Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Committee and the United Nations Expert Group on Resource Management. He received the CIM Robert Elver award in 2020 and is a CIM Distinguished Lecturer for 2024/2025.

This course covers the fundamentals of mobile mining equipment maintenance. It covers issues that are fundamental to the design or improvement of maintenance operations; 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 is organized into four sections. People—discusses the skills, organization and productivity factors necessary to deliver effective maintenance; Process—defines the strategic, planning and scheduling, execution, and measurement attributes inherent to maintenance of large mobile equipment; Technology—explains the technical environment present at most mines and discusses the key systems that affect mobile maintenance; and Facilities—outlines the operating objectives and functional requirements for successful maintenance infrastructure. 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: Product Support Contracts describes the details of each type of contract, risks and mitigation strategies, and why certain contract types may be appropriate under specific circumstances where suppliers play a critical role in supporting mobile equipment maintenance.

Mobile Equipment Life Cycle Costing is a practical guide for managing the economic life of a mining truck fleet. It covers key financial, commercial and physical aspects of truck management and explains specific methods for acquiring and operating these vehicles to full advantage. The course includes three sections—Introduction, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, and Optimization. It is structured to support a vigorous discounted cash flow analysis that embraces realistic estimates for the key operating and maintenance variables associated with running haul trucks, and discusses options for improving overall truck performance and productivity. The objective is to provide an analytic framework that enables readers to impartially assess haul truck investments by using reliable financial modeling and sensitivity analysis. The life cycle model should be functional as a baseline for formal equipment planning and management and for measuring the performance of the haul truck fleet during its useful life. People who will benefit from this course include purchasing, maintenance, engineering and production managers from mining companies that operate fleets of large haul trucks.

Este curso introductorio sobre cianuro proporciona una introducción no técnica para el uso y manejo global del cianuro, incluyendo la producción de oro, química del cianuro, análisis, toxicidad, tratamiento, riesgos y manejo. Este curso está diseñado para proporcionar una amplia perspectiva del uso del cianuro y cómo se compara con otros químicos que se usan en el mundo. El cianuro fue utilizado por primera vez para la minería del oro en Nueva Zelandia y Sudáfrica hace más de un siglo. La cianuración sigue siendo uno de los métodos más eficientes para la lixiviación de oro y plata de las menas. El ácido cianhídrico (HCN) fue descubierto por el químico Sueco Carl Scheele en 1782. En gran parte, el temor y mal entendimiento que rodea al cianuro está relacionado con su uso en ejecuciones, como reactivo en guerra química y en incidentes como el de la cápsula de Tylenol y el suicidio en masa de Guyana hace muchos años. Existe mucha confusión y mala información en cuanto al impacto real del uso de cianuro en la industria minera de oro. Este curso introductorio intenta disipar los mitos y misterios que rodean al cianuro y proporcionar datos y cifras confiables. Cursos posteriores sobre el cianuro detallan aspectos técnicos específicos que se destacan en este curso introductorio. Este curso comienza con un examen de la producción, el uso y transporte del cianuro por el mundo, seguido por una discusión de sus propiedades técnicas, riesgos y manejo.
