SHORT COURSE 1: Sampling for Process Control <strong>and</strong><br />

Mill Reconciliation by Francis Pitard<br />

Saturday 13 – Sunday 14 July 2013<br />

8.30 am – 5.00 pm, Pan Pacific Perth<br />

This short course is for metallurgists, metallurgical<br />

managers, plant design engineers, process engineers,<br />

academics <strong>and</strong> laboratory supervisors. It will focus on<br />

sampling problems in the mill <strong>and</strong> how to overcome<br />

them, including the reasons for disagreement between<br />

mine <strong>and</strong> mill estimates <strong>and</strong> sampling for metallurgical<br />

balance <strong>and</strong> process control.<br />

SHORT COURSE 2: Heap Leaching: Uranium, Copper,<br />

Gold <strong>and</strong> Nickel by Graeme Miller<br />

Saturday 13 – Sunday 14 July 2013<br />

8.30 am – 5.00 pm, Pan Pacific Perth<br />

The course is designed for engineers <strong>and</strong> other<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionals working or interested in heap leaching <strong>of</strong><br />

uranium, copper, nickel <strong>and</strong> other species including gold.<br />

The course is designed to provide fundamental<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the physical <strong>and</strong> chemical rate<br />

determining processes that underpin these operations.<br />

The effects <strong>of</strong> ore <strong>and</strong> leach variables impacting on<br />

construction <strong>and</strong> management decisions will be<br />

developed. This includes consideration <strong>of</strong> the ore <strong>and</strong><br />

heap geotechnical characterisation <strong>and</strong> the<br />

consequences on the design <strong>and</strong> operating decisions.<br />

AusIMM member A$2200 | Non-member A$2420<br />

SHORT COURSE 3: Energy Efficient Comminution<br />

presented by JKTech<br />

Thursday 18 July 2013<br />

8.30 am – 5.00 pm, Pan Pacific Perth<br />

This course will provide attendees with an overview <strong>of</strong><br />

established strategies for improving comminution<br />

energy efficiency, including ‘quick wins’ <strong>and</strong> longer-term<br />

programs. New research directions <strong>and</strong> strategies are<br />

also reviewed. Delegates will then be provided with a<br />

methodology for identifying opportunities for reducing<br />

energy consumption within their own operations.<br />

Individual action-plans can be developed <strong>and</strong> discussed,<br />

allowing delegates to leave with a clear strategy for<br />

improving energy efficiency in their own comminution<br />

circuits. The workshop is suitable for company<br />

executives, industry pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, site managers,<br />

site-based specialists, operators/technicians <strong>and</strong> anyone<br />

with an interest in reducing unnecessary energy<br />

consumption in the minerals industry.<br />
