Handbook

Through this course experience, you will obtain an overview of different mining operations and core technologies involved, historical and recent trends in mining technology developments, the dynamic management needs of changing technologies, especially in different resource and economic environments, and will have the opportunity to identify innovative and potentially technologies and mining systems. The course is designed to extend traditional thinking and provide for some entrepreneurial ideas and “outside the box” thinking.

You will work both individually and in small groups to explore how your chosen innovations and/or new technologies fit within a mining industry application and then evaluate your ideas through structured technology audits, risk assessments, implementation plans, capital justification and possible commercialisation opportunities for the technology – for both the Australian and/or international mining industries.
