As part of our series of short courses in Spokane, EduMine presents Cost Estimating for Underground Mine Engineering, by Scott Stebbins. This course provides engineers and evaluators the opportunity to learn to produce detailed, engineering-based cost estimates for underground mines. Application-based cost estimating software packages are demonstrated, and then are compared to spreadsheet-based cost models. An emphasis is placed upon the uncertainty associated with not-yet-fully-delineated engineering parameters and the process of dealing with that uncertainty.
The 2-day course will take place October 27-28 in Spokane, WA, USA. For more details or to register, see the course page

As part of our series of short courses in Spokane, EduMine presents Introduction to Estimating Mining Costs for Prefeasibility Analyses, by Otto Schumacher. This is an introductory course appropriate for engineers, geologists, mineral economists and others with a basic understanding of mineral resources and mining. Participants will be introduced to multiple systems for estimating mining costs for prefeasibility analyses, and learn how to complete a credible estimate. Student involvement will be encouraged through discussion of the students’ previous estimating experiences, if any, and through critique of the methods presented in the class.
The 2-day course will take place October 25-26 in Spokane, WA, USA. For more details or to register, see the course page

As part of our series of short courses in Spokane, EduMine presents Dr. Terry Mudder’s Environmental Management of Cyanide in Mining. This short course will augment the technical skills of the
participants regarding all facets of cyanide in its relationship to the environment, humans, and mining. At the same time the course will provide a knowledge base of sufficient depth to aid those at either operations and/or corporate offices in development of sound cyanide management plans and those contemplating participation in the International Cyanide Management Code for Gold Mining Operations.
The 2-day course will take place October 24-25 in Spokane, WA, USA. For more details or to register, see the course page.

As part of our series of short courses in Spokane, EduMine is presenting Dr. Rimas Pakalnis’ Empirical Design Methods For Underground Mines. This course has been given to over 200 participants throughout North America over the last ten years and
is recognized by mining operations in Canada as providing “common core” training for onsite personnel in the field of rock mechanics. Participants will learn to: make decisions on site stability assessments of openings and pillars; develop an understanding of the critical field data required for stability assessment; judge the influence of rock mechanics on the stability of planned openings; and understand the influence of rock mechanics on overall mine design.
The 2-day course will take place October 20-21 in Spokane, WA, USA. For more details or to register, see the course page.

As part of our series of short courses in Spokane, EduMine is presenting Doug Milne’s Rock Mass Classification for Mine Design.
The mine geologist usually collects much of the data needed for rock mass classification and design calculations; unfortunately, it is often not in the form an engineer is able to use. This course will give the geology staff the tools they need to collect geological
data so that it can be used by both geologists and engineers. The course is intended for geologists, geotechnicians and geotechnical engineers involved in gathering geological data for both surface and underground mines.
The 3-day course will take place October 17-19 in Spokane, WA, USA. For more details or to register, see the course page.

If you can’t make the live Webcast this November, tune in to the video recording of last April’s Spanish Introducción a la Minería webcast!
Dr. Scott Dunbar’s Introducción a la Minería webcast covers the basic concepts of mining and mineral processing: how mines are found, how they are built, how the ore is processed, how the
waste is disposed, how mineral products are marketed, and some ideas about where mining will be in the future. Parts of the course require some basic numeracy and high school science. All of the material is taught in a friendly, non-threatening manner, and will provide participants with a basic, broad understanding of the industry. We’re excited to offer this popular introductory webcast video en español.
To access the recorded webcast online, or for more information, see the webcast video page.

EduMine is pleased to present e3Plus: Principles and Guidance, and e3Plus: Excellence in Social Responsibility, parts one and two in a new series of EduMine courses developed from PDAC’s e3 Plus: A Framework for Responsible Exploration. The e3 Plus series of courses will 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.
Principles and Guidance introduces the explorer to eight aspirational principles applicable to all mineral exploration situations.
Excellence in Social Responsibility explains the application of the principles with regard to governance, due diligence and community engagement, community development and ethical conduct, and responsibilities and human rights.
