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:Diamonds and other gems: properties\, markets and value 1
DESCRIPTION:Natural\, rare\, beautiful\, durable materials – the stuff of legend\, gems attract us and excite our imagination. Diamonds have been known\, coveted and used by humankind since Antiquity; India was their only source until around 1723\, when they were discovered in Brazil. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nIn modern times\, diamonds and other gems become popular and global\, with successful marketing campaigns run in the US (first)\, Japan and China turning what was a status symbol for the few very rich into a common ritual associated to love and marriage of the (well-off) commoners. \nNotwithstanding their allure\, gems are subject to the laws of physics\, geology and economy. This course is about the properties\, value and markets of gems\, diamond being king amongst them. \nCourse contents \nThis is one of two courses on diamonds and diamond deposits – the other one is dedicated to the exploration\, evaluation and mining of diamond deposits. Although they cover separate issues\, these courses can be taken independently (none is a pre-requisite for the other). \nThis is an introductory course with three chapters during three weeks: \n\nWeek 1: Chapters 1 – The markets and applications for diamonds – is there a future?\nWeek 2: Chapter 2 – Diamond pricing models: the 4C and more – are diamonds just overpriced carbon?\nWeek 3: Chapter 3 – Cut diamonds\, rough diamonds\, synthetic diamonds – how different are they?\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 three weeks. Each module includes: \n\nPre-recorded video materials and quizzes – for independent learning.\nSelected bibliography – for independent learning.\nA weekly one-and-an-half hour live workshop\, including the presentation and discussion of the module topics. The live session will include open discussions\, work in smaller groups and the elaboration of an informal report on the theme discussed.\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 on the diamond and other gems properties\, applications\, markets and valuation methodologies. Participants will identify the main differences between natural vs synthetic and rough vs cut diamonds and the key factors in their value. \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 professionals\, managers\, decision-makers and students involved or interested in the diamond and jewelry industries\, including: \n\nGeology\, mining and gemology students.\nManagers and potential investors in diamond and projects.\nMedia professionals covering the diamond and jewelry industry.\nThe general public interested in gems\, diamonds and jewelry.

SUMMARY:Diamonds and other gems: exploration\, evaluation and mining of their deposits 1
DESCRIPTION:The discovery of the African diamond fields (South Africa\, Namibia\, Congo and Angola)\, in conjunction with the rise of the United States into the world economic leadership fueled the rapid development of the diamond industry. New deposits were found in Australia and Canada in the last quarter of the XX century (after the communist USSR – now Russia – also became a major diamond source in the second half of the XX century). \nProgramme\nCourse description \nNew discoveries and technologies\, economic shocks after social and humanitarian crises\, competitive pressure from other products and changing attitudes reshaped the industry\, not a cartel anymore in the XXI century. De Beers (now wholly owned by Anglo America) and Alrosa (Russia) are the main producers – one third of the market – with many other players of all sizes active in the five continents. \nDespite the technological advances and the investment poured into exploration\, the discovery of new world scale deposits has lagged and many mines reaching maturity\, with long term implications. This short course presents and discusses the techniques used in the exploration\, (evaluation) and valuation of diamond deposits with recourse (mostly) to real cases and datasets. \nCourse contents \nThis is one of two courses on diamonds and diamond deposits – the other one is dedicated to the diamonds’ properties\, markets and value. Although they cover separate issues\, these courses can be taken independently (none is a pre-requisite for the other). \nThis is an introductory course with three chapters during three weeks: \n\nWeek 1: Chapters 1 – Diamonds and diamond deposits – how are they different?\nWeek 2: Chapter 2 – Exploration of diamond deposits – how can they be found?\nWeek 3: Chapter 3 – Evaluation and valuation of diamond deposits – how much are they worth?\nWeek 4: Chapter 4 – Challenges in real diamond projects – how to develop a deposit? How is ore mined and processed and diamonds recovered?\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 three weeks. Each module includes: \n\nPre-recorded video materials and quizzes – for independent learning.\nSelected bibliography – for independent learning.\nA weekly one-and-an-half hour live workshop\, including the presentation and discussion of the module topics. The live session will include open discussions\, work in smaller groups and the elaboration of an informal report on the theme discussed.\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 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 find\, evaluate\, develop and mine a diamond (alluvial or kimberlite) deposit. \nPartcipants will be able to integrate the new knowledge on the diamond industry (and their companies and projects) into their decision-making\, policy-desing\, planning or reporting processes. \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 professionals\, managers\, decision-makers and students involved or interested in the diamond and jewelry industries\, including: \n\nGeology\, mining and gemology students.\nManagers and potential investors in diamond and projects.\nMedia professionals covering the diamond and jewelry industry.\nThe general public interested in gems\, diamonds and jewelry.

SUMMARY:Holistic Decision Making with P5 Impact Analyses 2
DESCRIPTION:P5 stands for People\, Planet\, Profit\, Process and Product. The P5 Impact Analysis is a tool that can be utilized to assess and/or compare options for various project components\, to facilitate making sustainability-informed decisions and recommendations for the best possible outcomes of a project\, aligned with the 5Ps. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nThe world’s growing population and shift to global equality creates a dependence on mining. However\, external stakeholders are changing the space of environmental assessment and engagement processes and requirements\, regulatory requirements\, and management standards for such developments. \nExternal stakeholders now want to either be involved in the decision-making process\, or to be able to clearly see how impacts to people and planet have been considered and avoided for large developments.\nP5 helps to serve this need\, and was developed as a sustainability framework to facilitate improvements in project proposals and future developments. \nThe P5 Impact Analyses introduces a means to: \n\nFocus on\, and integrate social\, environmental and financial considerations into the planning\, decision-making\, design and operational strategies of proposed infrastructure and developments\, and to\nImprove transparency of proposed plans amongst the design team & stakeholders involved in the process\, including visibility on whether the risks and concerns of both internal and external stakeholders have been identified\, considered\, and managed in those plans.\n\nThe course will be taught live – virtually\, in a group setting over the course of three x 3-hour sessions\, with a large proportion of time dedicated to applied and interactive exercises. Hands-on learning is the best strategy for everyone to fully comprehend lessons\, as well as to be able to repeat the processes on their own projects\, and as such more than half of the class duration will involve active\, applied work within the class. \nCourse content \nThe following will be covered in this workshop: \nIntroduction of P5 & Impact Analyses \n\nDescribe project aspects to consider: People\, Planet\, Profit\, Process and Product\nIndicate indicator relations to ISO Standards\, the Global Reporting Initiative G4 indicators\, the Sustainable Development Goals\, and the UN Global Compact Ten Principles\n\nOptions Identification\, Analyses & Decision Making \n\nExplore impacts activities might have on external receptors\nHighlight interdependencies within complex development proposals\nTeach and review a comparative analysis framework that works to compare design and process options for all types of projects\, by cross-functional project teams\, from a 360° standpoint\n\nExercises will include: \n\nShort exercises to help engage the class at the start of each session\, and encourage recognition of differing perspectives\, knowledge and experiences\nExtended breakout discussions around the 5Ps for a particular case study\, to help gain a full appreciation of how these relate to real projects & how we might prioritize aspects\nStaged and directed brainstorming around various options for an example project component\, including related risks and requirements\, and possible concerns or benefits\, utilizing checklists and examples\nExtended breakout discussions to compare and contrast\, then rank potential solutions on a case study\, taking into account the numerous requirements\, pros and cons of each\nPresentation and comparison of results from various “teams” in the classroom\n\nThe lecture materials and guidance document to use following the class will be provided to students\, along with a licensed P5 manual\, developed by GPM Global. A case study with relevant details will be provided for the class to utilize throughout the course\, including pictures\, small maps and a critical “event scenario” to manage. \nCollaboration spreadsheets\, virtual whiteboard and engagement tools will be utilized during class exercises to support the virual format. \nType of training \nThis online course is a combination of e-learning and group work. \nOther: Online engagement and collaboration tools \nObjectives and outcome \nAfter taking this course\, participants will: \n\nHave a good understanding of mining-relevant 5Ps: People\, Planet\, Profit\, Process & Product\, and how each align with ISO standards\, the Sustainable Development Goals\, the UN Global Compact Guiding Principles\, and GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines\nHave a transparent framework to engage multi-discipline teams in dialogue about 5P issues\nBe able to perform high-level gap assessments on their current projects regarding 5P issues\nBe able to utilize the 5P analysis framework to compare design and process options for all types of projects\, with multi-discipline\, multi-stakeholder teams\n\nBe able to demonstrate how and why a decision was made between project options \nLanguage \nEnglish \nRequirements \nParticipants would require their own laptop and a stable high-speed internet connection to take part in this course. \nTarget Group\nThis course is best suited for Project Managers\, Engineers & Assessment Professionals who: \n\nhave 5 or more years of experience in mining\,\nwant to avoid re-work &/or change requests stemming from external stakeholders\,\ndesire a better means to communicate and manage the complexities and system-based risks associated with mining developments
