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 />
