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.

The boot camp is aimed at early stage startup teams that have committed to their business idea and are actively pursuing customers and funding. The purpose of the course is to give them tools to manage their company and communicate effectively with their customers and investors.

This course will give you tools to improve your operational cash flow models and budgeting tools. The effects of market and project uncertainties are discussed and methods to include their effects into feasibility analysis / budgeting are provided. Also methods to deal with uncertainty realizations are discussed and modeled.

This course will discuss creation of exploration start up 'Inkubator' companies with a hands on approach of creating a group start up company and funding it with aspects including legal, technical and corporate. Day Two will involve operations, including ongoing funding mechanisms, shareholder communication and endgame scenarios.

The discovery of the African diamond fields (South Africa, Namibia, Congo and Angola), in conjunction with the rise of the United States into the world economic leadership fueled the rapid development of the diamond industry. New deposits were found in Australia and Canada in the last quarter of the XX century (after the communist USSR – now Russia – also became a major diamond source in the second half of the XX century).

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.

Das Fließkurvenseminar ist eine Weiterbildungsveranstaltung zur Ermittlung und Auswertung von Fließkurven; Dabei werden die Grundlagen der Messtechnik zur Erfassung, sowie die theoretischen Hintergründe zur Berechnung und Analyse von Fließkurven anwendungsbezogen erläutert und anhand praktischer Fallbeispiele nachvollzogen.

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.

The European Union (EU) is one of the major trading partners of Nigeria. Solid minerals raw materials are critical to the EU industrial sector and economy. However, some factors, which include increased demand by emerging economies, shift in trade policies, inadequate supply and increasing demand by the producing countries amongst others, are limiting accessibility to these raw materials. Consequently, the EU industries need to explore new sources of mineral raw materials to mitigate the risk of non-availability and ensure sustainable operations. The data on Nigeria’s solid mineral raw materials sector will assist raw materials supply chain managers, prospective investors and researchers with information on availability, quantity, quality, sustainable supply and government policies in the mineral raw materials sector to plan their operations and make sound business decisions.

INNOMAT: the course to make your business more resilient to risks in materials supply

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.

The course discusses the natural, social and economic forces and events that shape the mineral industry.

Over the last 30 years, portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) has become a key technique for field geochemical analyses, for both mining and environmental applications. pXRF provides real-time decision support for operational field decisions in the areas of exploration, mining, site remediation or waste management.

Many proponents in the extractive sector are experiencing extended permitting delays or denials due to opposing stakeholders. To reduce risks causing such external concerns and delays, a front-end planning & mapping framework is proposed to increase visibility and understanding of complex systems, improve communications, and facilitate collaboration between multi-discipline stakeholders.

Superior understanding of water management related issues in order to ensure the proper specification of a successful solution for a given application is required in nearly any business.

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' s innovative applications is provided. Fundamentals of markets, market trends, competitive materials will be presented.

Time management is the key to keep a healthy work life balance and sustain your professional capabiity especially when working in high-stress and hectic enviroments like international projects in the raw materials sector. This seminar will help you organize yourself and increase your effectiveness.
