SUMMARY:From exploration target to mine closure: The minerals lifecycle (a foundation course) 1
DESCRIPTION:The exploration\, evaluation\, valuation and reporting of mineral deposits is a process shaped by local and global economic\, social and political variables\, forces and actors rather than only by technology and the geology\, metallogeny\, physical and chemical properties of ores and mineral deposits. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nThis foundation course is an introduction to the forces shaping and the life cycle of the mineral projects – from the exploration target stage to evaluation\, mining and processing\, tailings management and mine restart or final mine closure. \nThe course is divided into nine chapters: 1 – Current Trends and New Frontiers\, 2 – Markets\, 3 – Society and Sustainable development\, 4 – Exploration\, 5 – (E)Valuation\, 6 – Mining\, 7 – Processing\, 8 – Circular Economy and 9 – Mine Closure or Starting Over. \nThis online course can be taken in isolation or as an introduction to other courses\, online – Natural\, Social And Economic Forces Shaping The Mineral Industry – or presential\, such as: \n\nExploration\, (E)Valuation And Reporting Of Mineral Deposits\,\nValuation And Reporting Of Mineral Assets\,\nReporting in the Mineral Industry – Resources & reserves\, Asset valuation\, Sustainability & Social Responsibility\,\nCorporate Social Responsibility – A Life-Cycle Assessment from Prospect to Closure and\nRaw Materials and Energy in the XXI Century and Beyond A Big Data and Data Science Drive.\n\nCourse contents \nThis is an introductory course with nine chapters and eight modules during eight weeks: \n\nWeek 1: Chapters 1 – Current Trends and New Frontiers\, 2 – Markets and 3 – Society and Sustainable development.\nWeek 2: Chapter 4 – Exploration\,\nWeek 3: Chapter 5 – (E)Valuation\,\nWeek 4: Chapter 6 – Mining\,\nWeek 5: Chapter 6 – Mining (continued).\nWeek 6: Chapter 7 – Processing\,\nWeek 7: Chapter 8 – Circular Economy\nWeek 8: Chapter 9 – Mine Closure or Starting Over.\n\nThe course is designed for a weekly time investment of 1\,5 hours. Naturally\, should the participant wish to further study reading the selected bibliography made available and participating in forum discussions (see above) – which we recommend\, as it is an opportunity to learn from their peers\, the time investment is higher. This is\, however\, flexible and entirely optional. \nType of training \nThis course is designed as distance-learning. It is organized in modules along eight weeks. Each module includes: \n\nPre-recorded video materials and quizzes – for independent learning.\nSelected bibliography – for independent learning.\nA one-hour live webinar\, including the presentation and discussion of the module topics.\n\nThe course will also have a dedicated LinkedIn group for course follow-up\, exchange and discussion of ideas and course topics. \nObjectives and outcomes \nAfter the course participants will have a wide range knowledge of the structure and organization of the mineral industry\, and the science\, technologies and processes used in the sequential steps to develop a mineral deposit (including mine closure). \nParticipants will also be aware of the forces shaping the mineral industry\, be they economic\, social\, technological or environmental and of the main challenges it faces in the XXI century. \nPartcipants will be able to integrate the new knowledge on the raw materials industry into their decision-making\, policy-design or reporting process. \nLanguage \nEnglish \nRequirements \nParticipants would require their own laptop and a stable high-speed internet connection to take part in this course. \nTarget Group\nThe course’s intended audience includes anyone interested in the raw materials industry but who does not have a formal background in the area or anyone with specialized knowledge in the field but wanting to have a widescope current overview of the industry: \n\nManagers of financial institutions and funds\,\nPotential investors in raw materials projects\,\nOfficials from government (local\, state and federal) agencies and institutions.\nMembers of environmental and responsible sourcing NGOs.\nMedia professionals covering the mineral industry.\nGraduate and post-graduate geology\, mining\, mineral processing and metallurgy students.\nManagers of mining and exploration companies.

SUMMARY:Integration of Preventative Concepts & Tools of Sustainable Production & Consumption\, Circular Economies & Benefit Corporations into Corporate Business Models & Business Practice in the Post-COVID-19 Era 1
DESCRIPTION:How is your company prioritizing post COVID-19 strategies for the new normals? Participation in this course will help students to learn about and to apply holistic methodologies\, circular economy concepts and B-corporation business models\, that are essential for the sustainable transition to equitable and resilient supply chains in the context of challenges like climate changes\, economic disruptions\, pandemics and other crises. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nThis course is comprised of three blocks designed to teach concepts\, processes and tools that will help students and their company colleagues to transform current or emerging companies\, into socially conscious\, sustainable businesses which\, will function effectively and sustainably within circular economies in the context of company vulnerabilities due to climate changes\, economic problems\, pandemics and other challenges. \nThe course leaders will focus upon holistic approaches for designing and producing cleaner product-service combinations by using cleaner production\, sustainable consumption and new business models\, such as Certified B Corporations and Legal Benefit Corporations in post COVID-19 contexts. The students will learn why and how to plan and implement changes in their companies so they become more effective\, efficient\, resilient and sustainable. \nThe course leaders will provide a wide-array of materials and tools to help the students before\, during and after the three-week course. There will be an on-line ‘course repository\,’ that will serve as a ‘commons’ for sharing articles\, videos and other types of relevant materials with and among the students. \nCourse content \nThe content of the course is divided into three blocks. The broad outlines are: \nBlock-1 \nExpanding the understanding of roles of the value chain\, from product design\, product-service system implementation\, production\, processing\, wholesaling\, retailing and valorizing wastes to help to facilitate transition to equitable and resilient supply chains and sustainable societies. \nAssignment: Corporate value stream mapping for any type of industrial sector. \nBlock-2 \nConcepts of benefit corporations for facilitating transitions to sustainable and conscious businesses within sustainable circular economies in the post COVID-19 era. \nAssignment: Students’ will discuss their findings and challenges they had as they performed the Corporate Value Stream Mapping in their company. Course leaders will provide useful guidance for follow-up work in the student’s company \nBlock-3 \nWhy and how cleaner production\, sustainable consumption\, industrial ecology and circular economy-based business models work. Case studies from the book\, “100 Pioneers in Efficient Resource Management: Best practice cases from producing companies\,” will be used to teach the concepts\, tools\, costs and benefits for companies and societies due to implementation of the holistic\, preventative approaches implemented by the 100 pioneer companies. \nAssignment: Six-months after the course\, the students will have the opportunity to discuss with each other and with the course leaders\, about the challenges\, opportunities and benefits they experienced as they worked to implement changes in their companies. \nType of training \nThis online course is a combination of e-learning\, videos and self-study. \nObjective and outcome \n\nDeepen knowledge and skills to effectively network and cooperate among company leaders and other stakeholders to implement\, Cleaner Production\, Industrial Symbiosis\, Circular Economy and B-Corporation strategies and procedures in their companies and in their supply chains to reduce their vulnerability to crises such as pandemic and climate changes.\nDocument and analyze the student’s challenges\, opportunities and results as they worked in their companies to implement the knowledge they obtained from the course.\nSix months after the course\, all students are expected to provide a written and/or a video report of how they implemented the lessons learned from the course\, into their company’s business models\, policies\, procedures\, product-service designs\, supply-chain management worker-health and safety and consumer engagement.\n\nNote: \nThe course leaders will provide in-depth feedback to the students and to other members of their company via written responses and via the online tool.
