Detalhes do curso
Programa de Estudos
Module 1: Exploration
Analyse geophysical surveys and geochemical data. Conduct exploratory drilling and try your luck at striking gold. You may find something, but are the market conditions in your favour?
Module 2: Mine Planning
What infrastructure will you build to run your mine? Will you use a local workforce, or a fly-in/fly-out model? What are you planning to do with your mine waste? Can you pay for all of this and still make a profit?
Module 3: Operation
Drill, blast and muck. Process your ore and recover as much gold as you can. Sounds pretty simple, until the gold price takes a tumble and suddenly your mine plan needs adjusting.
Module 4: Closure and Post-closure
Nothing lasts forever, particularly in mining. Eventually you're going to run out of gold, or the market will change and your profit margin will disappear. How will you ensure you leave a safe, rehabilitated site?

A Curtin University é a maior instituição de ensino superior da Austrália Ocidental. O seu campus principal situa-se em Perth, na Austrália Ocidental. Fundada em 1966, foi inicialmente conhecida como Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT) e, a partir de 1986, como Curtin University of Technology, antes de assumir o seu nome atual em 2010. O seu nome é uma homenagem a John Curtin, Primeiro-Ministro da Austrália durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
