Most mines produce tailings: the ultimate waste product that results from mining the ore body, processing the ore, and recovering the valuable metals and minerals. The tailings are the waste product that results from mining, crushing, grinding, and chemically treating the ore. This course covers tailings as part of the mining process, tailings types and characteristics, tailings facility types and components, and tailings facility design, performance, construction, operation and closure ... illustrated by case histories.

This course is for anyone involved in the different aspects of tailings listed above, including engineers, environmentalists, geologists, operators and regulators.

The economic factors that influence a mine project are complex and often confusing. This June, Dr. Scott Dunbar aims to demystify some of these complexities in his short course, Mine Project Economics. Dr. Dunbar will teach participants the fundamental aspects of the valuation of mining projects with particular emphasis on the models used for valuation, uncertainties in the input to these models, and the role of the models in decision-making.

This two-day short course will take place on June 5 & 6 in Toronto, ON, Canada. Mine Project Economics is part of EduMine’s Toronto series of short courses, a week-long series of mining, valuation and finance courses this June.
