Program Overview

Mining and Metallurgical Operations Specialisation

Overview

This specialisation builds on the technical content provided in the Extractive Metallurgy Major to provide a more rounded coverage of metallurgical operations. While the functional design and operation of a plant is of primary importance, there are a range of other factors that contribute to a successful operation. An introduction to mining processes, mineral economics and environmental and social impacts, risks and opportunities provide a more holistic view of mining project management. This contributes to the conceptualisation of the whole value chain and the importance of each discipline within it to communicate and collaborate to achieve optimal operation and best practice. The specialisation also covers cutting edge trends in the industry such as automation and the use of data and AI that will drive future gains in productivity and safety.
