The drive to exploit a mineral resource, such that it adds as much value as possible to the mining business, requires a continual update of the mine plan and the rapid implementation of any value-adding opportunities as they arise. This webcast introduces participants to financial and economic concepts such as net present value and economic theory, and how these apply to mining versus other traditional industries. The participants will then learn about 5 key technical levers in mining that can…

The course will emphasize the unit operations used in industry and their application to operations as follows: Feed characterization (mineralogy, size, liberation) Comminution (size reduction via crushing, grinding, and etc.) for liberation Particulate separation based on particle size, floatability, specific gravity, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and other mineral traits Liquid-solid separation Process flowsheets and their control How to know how well your plant is operating The outcome of the course will be an understanding of how processes evolve from feed to…
