A Modern Resource and Reserve Modeling Process for Structurally Complex Coal Deposits
Tuesday, May 03, 2022, 03:30 PM - 04:45 PM GMT-7
Traditionally, modeling complex coal deposits in the Canadian Rockies has been a time consuming and inflexible process. Geologists often spent months manually interpreting geologic sections before using these to code a 3D Block Model. Working sections were defined in drillhole compositing and could not be changed downstream. Resulting seam surfaces were often jagged and not easily used by engineers in design.

Steps in Open Pit Mine Design
Sunday, May 01, 2022, 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM GMT-7
It is important for the team members of any mining project, particularly the decision makers, to have a clear understanding of the mine design process and the stages of mine development. This course reviews and discusses the principles of open pit mine design, using examples and practice exercises. Some of the most important aspects of mine design are introduced and explained.
