Mining engineering is a very dynamic field, with engineers generally changing both roles and mine site regularly throughout their career. With such regular change, it is important to minimise the ramp up time in a new role before the new starter becomes proficient. That is where good quality training is essential.

Continual efficient operation of your mine site requires high quality mining engineering work. We can help that dream become a reality through training in the following areas:

• Mine design – short term through to life of mine
• Mine planning – how to effectively schedule over any time frame
• Mine design and scheduling software

Let’s talk about training our mine planners as an example. Training a new mine planner starts with learning how the mine site works and then being trained in the mine scheduling software. Unfortunately, that is normally where the training finishes and at that point we think we have competent planners.

But there is so much more to mine planning than that. In addition good planners will understand what a good mine plan looks like and how to produce them. How you execute mine plans so they can assist the operations team to be successful and then how to continuously improve the whole process!
