Description
First phase of a dynamic scenario-based full feasibility study from exploration through operations to final mine closure plan. Including preparation of a geological model and calculation of resources. Generation of focused technical reports, community consultation and economic reports. Review and identify conceptual mining methods for consideration in Mine Design Project II (see MIN E 403). Prepare regular team reports and presentations. Present final report during a half-day final industry seminar. Weekly seminars with instructor and industry.Note: Restricted to fourth-year traditional and fifth-year co-op engineering students.
