There’s still time to register for Empirical Design Methods for Underground Mines! Participants in this course will develop an understanding of the critical field data required for stability assessment and the influence of rock mechanics on overall mine design. They will learn how to make decisions on site stability assessments of openings and pillars, and to judge the influence of rock mechanics on the stability of planned openings. This popular course has been taken by over two hundred participants throughout North America over the last ten years.
The 2-day course will take place May 17-18 in Vancouver, BC. For more details or to register, see the course page.

EduMine recently launched our new Quick Search function, which makes it quicker and easier than ever to find exactly what you are looking for on EduMine’s website. This new function goes beyond searching our bank of online courses by searching our entire site to provide comprehensive results for all your mining and geoscience education needs.
The new search includes an autocomplete feature, which generates a list of popular searches as you type: especially helpful if you aren’t entirely sure about your search term, or if you want to see related searches. Search results are neatly organised using tabs that separate your results into categories. Results are filtered into online courses, short courses and webcasts, authors, videos, tools, campuses, and mining schools. This allows you to quickly filter out products that you don’t want and go straight to the course, tool, or reference information that you need.
Test drive our new search today; if you have feedback, we’d love to hear what you think!

It’s impossible to permit, operate or close a mine in the 21st century unless it exhibits the ability and commitment to practice responsible tailings management. In the upcoming webcast Tailings Management 101, Todd Martin, P.Eng, P.Geo & Kimberly Morrison, P.E., R.G. will review the concepts behind responsible tailings management as it pertains to the life cycle of a mine, i.e. planning, design, operation, and closure. The webcast, by use of examples from around the world, will emphasize current trends in best practice in tailings management embraced by leaders in the industry.
The three-day webcast will be held May 22 - 24, 2012, and you can attend from anywhere! For more information or to register, see the course page.
