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:Natural\, social and economic forced shaping the mineral industry - how will the mineral industry evolve? 1
DESCRIPTION:The course discusses the natural\, social and economic forces and events that shape the mineral industry. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nThe mineral industry is subject to \n\nits natural constraints – the characteristics of known and potential mineral deposits\, the growing complexity and increased access difficulty to mineral and energy resources and\, e.g. climate change\,\na wide variety of possible external shocks – e.g. war\, commercial conflicts\, financial crisis\, pandemics and social clashes\, and\nthe technological\, economical and social trends – including political risk\, global power shifts\, market volatility\, climate change\, circular economy\, the companies’ social responsibility and social license to operate\, the world’s population demographic and available income growth.\n\nHow will the mineral industry evolve subject to those forces and events? Rather than a traditional course\, a collaborative workshop; rather than a presentation\, a discussion – the course aims to involve the participants in discussions leading into insights of the future of the mineral industry. \nCourse contents \nThis is an introductory course with five chapters and six modules during five weeks \n\nWeek 1: Chapter 1 – Mother Nature – Minerals and Mineral deposits\, pandemics and Climate Change\,\nWeek 2: Chapter 2 – Social and Economic Trends\,\nWeek 3: Chapter 3 – Global power shifts\,\nWeek 4: Chapter 4 – Technology disruption and the rise of the machines\,\nWeek 5: Chapter 5 – New frontiers and insights into the future.\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 five weeks. Each module includes: \n\nPre-recorded video materials and quizzes – for independent learning.\nSelected bibliography – for independent learning.\nA weekly one-and-a-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 of and be able to identify the forces shaping the mineral industry\, be they economic\, social\, technological or natural and of the main. \nParticipants will also be able to identify and characterise the development scenarios for the industry in the XXI century. \nParticipants will be able to integrate the new knowledge on the raw materials industry (and their companies and projects) into their decision-making\, policy-design 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 post-graduate students involved in the raw materials industry and interested in discussing and get an insight into future scenarios for the mineral industry: \n\nManagers of financial institutions and funds\,\nPotential investors in raw materials projects\,\nOfficials from government (local\, state and federal) agencies and institutions\,\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.
