EduMine has published its first Portuguese online course. Scott Dunbar’s Introduction to Mining and Mineral Processing is one of EduMine’s most popular English courses, and now our Brazilian and Portuguese subscribers will be able to take part as well with our translated version: Introdução a Mineração e Processamento Mineral.

This course provides a non-technical introduction to the basic concepts of mineral exploration, ore extraction, mineral processing, and mine waste management, with numerous examples, figures and images of mining. Also included are some key aspects of the economics of a mining and mineral processing operation and some ideas about the future of mining.

This course is for everyone who needs a broad understanding of the mining industry without the technical details - from investors, accountants and suppliers to geologists, chemists and metallurgists. For more information, see the course introduction page.

Bulk Sampling: An Introduction

Bulk sampling is the costly process of taking very large samples as part of the general procedure for the exploration and evaluation of a mineral deposit. The objective of bulk sampling is to obtain the quantitative information required for the effective evaluation of the deposit in a formal feasibility study; providing the foundation for a production decision that leads to a profitable operation.

Bulk Sampling: An Introduction, by Dr. Alastair J. Sinclair, provides a comprehensive treatment of the topic of bulk sampling, including the application of bulk sampling in a project exploration/evaluation context, the nugget effect and other statistical issues, planning a bulk sampling program, grade verification and metallurgical testing.
