Using the Standardized Reclamation<br />
Cost Estimator (SRCE) Effectively<br />
Monday and Tuesday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm<br />
Cost $450<br />
course coordinator:<br />
Jeff Parshley, Corporate Consultant, SRK (U.S.), Inc., Reno, NV<br />
COURSE Description:<br />
The Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimator (SRCE) is a public<br />
domain Microsoft Excel-based tool that can be used to calculate mine<br />
closure costs. The SRCE uses straightforward user input to create a<br />
first-principles estimate of closure costs. A state-specific version is<br />
currently used in Nevada by most of the mines and another version is<br />
available for use in other states and internationally.<br />
This two-day short course is designed to introduce the SRCE and<br />
provide hands-on training to persons interested in using the tool.<br />
Instructors will use a combination of teaching tools including, hands-on<br />
examples, to familiarize attendees with the components of the model,<br />
and provide short-cuts and tips to help them make effective use of the<br />
tool. Advanced topics will include how to create custom calculations<br />
within the SRCE and integrate the results from other closure cost<br />
estimating tools into the SRCE to create an all-inclusive closure cost<br />
estimate.<br />
Attendees will need to bring a laptop computer and engineering scale<br />
for the hands-on exercises.<br />
