Course description

This course deals with the theoretical principles and practical methodologies associated with mine planning. Mine Planning is an iterative process entailing elements of design, scheduling and evaluation. As part of the planning process a range of issues has to be considered including sustainability, statutory requirements and community expectations, mining method selection and mine layout, scheduling, equipment selection, cost estimation and economic evaluation, pre-feasibility studies and risk analysis. The course provides a step-by-step approach to developing a pre-feasibility study for a mining project.
