“Automated Materials Characterization” / “Automated Mineralogy” is an analytical technique based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image analysis coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

This course is aimed at all people with a technical or engineering background who want to gain knowledge in the field of automation. The course will quickly cover the basis and then will go into details on how to assemble and configurate your SPS (programmable logic controller) machine. Each participant will be programming on their own machine.

Corporate Social Responsibility, Geoethics, Social License to Operate, Responsible Sourcing are concepts related to the interface between mineral projects (exploration and mining), the natural environment and people (from local populations to global activist associations). This course discusses these concepts, their relations and their practical application to exploration and mining companies and professionals.

This boot camp is tailored to early stage startup teams that are exploring the viability of their business idea. The purpose of the course is to give them the tools assess whether there is a market for their product, and make a data based, informed decision whether to pursue starting the new company.

This course discusses the exploration, evaluation, valuation and reporting of mineral deposits process as 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.

Der Freiberger Kalibreurstag wurde vom Internationalen Kalibrierzentrum des Instituts für Metallformung als jährliche Weiterbildungsveranstaltung rund um das Thema der Herstellung von Langprodukten ins Leben gerufen. Hier wird jeweils zu einem ausgewählten Schwerpunktthema ein Mix aus Grundlagenwissen, praktischem Können und einem Überblicksvortrag zum gegebenen Thema angeboten. In diesem Jahr beschäftigt sich der Workshop mit der praktischen Auslegung von Streckkaliberreihen.

Consumers, employees, and investors are demanding that companies address social and environmental problems as core to their marketplace success. This course helps participants understand and apply emerging holistic methodologies for integrative product service system design, cleaner production, sustainable consumption and transformative business models for the circular economy, such as B Corporations.

This is an introductory course on the international policies, reporting frameworks, standards, good practices and guidelines for mineral projects and assets.

Metals recovery through pyro- and/or hydrometallurgical route is a complex and multidimensional process where multiple unit operations are used. Metallurgical unit operations are most often multiphase systems, and research and development faces many of the challenges typically found with such systems. In view of the complexity of the task, the use of sophisticated modeling and simulation tools is a valid approach for analysis of the important phenomena behind the operations, their interactions and relative importance.

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.

The proposed short course/interactive workshop provides an overview of the current use of chemical, mineralogical and metallurgical data in ore profiling, modeling, forecasting and process troubleshooting in Copper-(Moly/Gold) Operations.

The course presents and discusses big data and data science techniques and their applications in the exploration, mining and sustainable use of raw materials and energy resources in the XXI century and beyond.

This course presents and discusses the international policies, reporting frameworks, standards, good practices and guidelines for mineral projects and assets.

Metallurgy is a key enabler of a circular economy (CE), its digitalization is the metallurgical Internet of Things (m-IoT). In short: Metallurgy is at the heart of a CE, as metals all have strong intrinsic recycling potentials.

An overview of perlite is provided.
