SUMMARY:From exploration target to mine closure: The minerals lifecycle (a foundation course) 2
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 2
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:A Strategic Risk-Reducing Planning Framework for Industrial Projects 3
DESCRIPTION:Social license to operate is a high-ranking priority for mining operators. To reduce project delay or disapproval risks\, a collaborative planning framework is proposed to increase visibility of social and environmental challenges\, to improve communications\, and to facilitate collaboration between multi-discipline stakeholders. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nOver the last decade\, there have been increasing demands for local communities to have direct involvement in decision-making\, in co-development initiatives\, and overall for improved environmental performance throughout the life of mining developments. As a result\, pressure from external stakeholders is changing the space of environmental assessment and engagement processes\, regulatory requirements\, and management standards. \nIn fact\, mining proponents have been failing to gain approvals\, or experiencing extended permitting delays and significant rework due to dis-satisfied external stakeholders. When compared to baseline projections of budget and schedule\, the result has meant high project failure rates – on the order of 70% within this sector. \nTo avoid such failures\, industry must: \n\nEnsure that project teams are well aware of the broader environment and social performance expectations for future developments.\nIntroduce system-based opportunity evaluations\, integrated risk avoidance measures\, and life-cycle perspectives to reduce potential social and environmental impacts overall.\n\nUnfortunately\, standard project management programs tend only to refer to these processes at a high level. To become effective at the integration of sustainability aspects into projects\, both in-sector knowledge\, and more in-depth discussion and training are necessary. \nCourse contents \nExercises will include: \n\nStaged and directed brainstorming around project components\, risks and requirements\, to help identify scope of a project\, as well as increase recognition of knowledge & experience of a “team”\nAffinity mapping of mining development components and identifying interrelated functions\, to understand complexity of the system\nFlow mapping of the mining value chain\nBrainstorming identification & dialogue regarding project stakeholders and their primary concerns\, as well as “wastes” within the system\nOptimization exercise to practice how we might prioritize work and discover alternative solutions for better environmental performance and social acceptance\nSmall group exercises to analyse example project components\, to help participants understand how to identify the necessary information required for design\, as well as which stakeholders to engage\, to identify appropriate options to assess for said component\nSeveral opportunities for dialogue during and after each exercise\n\nType of training \nThis online course is a combination of e-learning and group work. \nThe course will be taught live – virtually\, in a group setting\, 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\, and as such more than half of the class duration will involve active\, applied work within the class. \nProblem relevancy and solution guidance will be introduced in short 20-30 min lectures. Lecture periods will be interspersed with interactive polling and instructor-led\, independent reflection\, 1-1 and roundtable dialogues\, group sharing / reviews\, and virtual brainstorm and mapping exercises. \nObjectives and outcome \nThis workshop offers registrants an opportunity to learn about collaborative risk identification\, alignment processes and prioritization\, and integrated project planning through hands-on application of the approaches throughout the training. \nAfter taking this course\, participants will: \n\nUnderstand project requirement types and prioritizing performance objectives\, as well as the high-level risks associated with long-term and integrated project development lifecycles\nUnderstand the relevance of affinity and value stream mapping for project planning\nUnderstand how to discover systems-based risks and improvement opportunities\nHave an applicable strategy to identify relevant project stakeholders\, including those who might introduce less obvious requirements of their own\nHave a basis for better communication to create and/or improve alignment on the actual and entire scope of the project\, including the multiple project objectives of all involved stakeholders\n\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
