Geometallurgy Short Course
Introducing a comprehensive approach to ore characterization for processing
Hobart, March 19-30th 2012
The ARC Centre of Excellence in Ore Deposits (CODES) at the University of Tasmania, in association with AMIRA, UQ JKMRC and CRC ORE, are conducting a short course in Geometallurgy which can be taken as a standalone course or a unit within the Master of Exploration Geoscience program.Geometallurgy involves a quantified and comprehensive approach to ore characterization in terms of critical processing attributes: including blasting, crushing, grinding, liberation, recovery and environmental management. Key outcomes of improved geometallurgical knowledge are improved forecasting, reduced technical risk, enhanced economic optimization of mineral production, and improved sustainability.
The course introduces a range of techniques to enhance the information that geologists produce in the mine environment, and which are relevant to mining engineers and metallurgists.
The program includes lectures, practical exercises and a range of computer based modelling exercises.

Course fees cover the cost of course notes, transport and accommodation for Rosebery Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag-Au mine visit, and some meals. Travel to, and accommodation in, Hobart is the responsibility of each participant.
Geometallurgy is offered as a unit of the Master of Economic Geology [MEconGeol] and Master of Exploration Geoscience [MSc (Exploration Geoscience)] programs.
Speakers include Dr Julie Hunt, Associate Professor Ron Berry and Professor Bernd Lottermoser of CODES, as well as Dr Toni Kojovic (JKMRC), Professor Dee Bradshaw (JKMRC) and Dave Lawie (ioGlobal).
