• Navigate the Mine Life Cycle with Environmental Intelligence

  add_circle_outline

  Environmental protection and management at all stages of the mine cycle benefit from a strategic and proactive approach. There is a set of behaviours - that we call Environmental Intelligence – that set mining executives and environmental managers up for success in meeting their environmental goals, and is the focus of this course. Environmental Intelligence is made of four key elements:

  • Thought process
  • Application
  • Solutions; and
  • Communication

  The goal of the course is for each participant to:

  • gain an understanding of where you and your organization are in formulating your environmental goals; and
  • recognize and plan around you and your organization’s strengths and weaknesses in implement actions towards those goals.

  To achieve this, participants are asked to complete an “Environmental Intelligence Scorecard” before attending the course. The scorecard is here: http://www.ecometrix.ca/eiscorecard/

  The scorecard is a tool that will be used by the course leaders to tailor the material to the participants’ needs. The results will also be used for each participant to develop and action plan to be implemented immediately to meet their goals.

  The course leaders are all expert environmental practitioners. We will teach the course dynamically using case studies, simulations, and break-out sessions to share the tenets of Environmental Intelligence.

• Implementing Management Control and Reporting Best Practices

  add_circle_outline

  Implementing a systematic, data-driven management control and reporting system is essential to ensure your organization is focussed on the key operational performance metrics and to drive continuous improvement. However, best practices for designing and implementing operations management systems are not widely understood and developing the management skills and behaviours necessary to implement such practices is a lengthy and challenging process. This course will present the principles of management control and reporting and introduce key tools and best practices used in large, high-volume continuous process operations to maximise throughput, asset utilization (OEE), and control cost. These include: short-interval control, daily-weekly operating reports (DWOR), 24-hour, 7-day, and 28-day production plan, and the weekly-monthly operations management report.

  I will also provide an approach to designing and implementing effective daily, weekly, and monthly performance review meetings and how to define and develop the skills and behaviours required by high-performing teams in challenging operational environments.

  The course content is based on many years of experience as a management consultant implementing production and maintenance management systems in various heavy-industrial sectors including bulk chemical manufacturing, oil and gas and mining. It is a proven and practical approach that you can use to improve your current systems and practices and that will deliver measurable sustainable results.

• Automation in Mining - One Element of the Digital Mine of the Future

  add_circle_outline

  The successful implementation of autonomous systems adds clear value: it can increase production efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and improve safety. However, it presents challenges including technology, security and safety risks, and workforce and workflow changes.

  Creating a unified autonomous mining system is part of the industry’s vision of future mining, and it has been gaining momentum. There is a need for a comprehensive guideline for implementing autonomous systems, which is why GMG has developed Guideline for Implementing Autonomous Systems in Mining. The guideline, which aims to provide a framework for mitigating risks and managing change while maximizing the value of autonomy is in its final stages before publication. Some of the guideline authors will elaborate on key areas.

  This course will also explore opportunities available with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Many sectors are using these systems to provide precise information on positioning, navigation and timing. Technical development in this area is taking place rapidly, creating the potential for more precise services. This technology is one element of the digital mining future and has the potential for increased automation.

• Implementation of Battery Electric Vehicles in the Underground

  add_circle_outline

  The BEV project stemmed from requests from companies with mines entering development in Ontario. Their efforts to build diesel-free underground mines revealed a major impediment to the realization of their projects: a lack of standardization in the components needed (different types of batteries, chargers, electronics, etc.).

  BEVs can reduce both a mine’s operating costs and impact on the environment as they require less maintenance, emit lower levels of greenhouse gases and use less energy. They also avoid emission of DPMs, a known carcinogen. But, with the implementation of anything new comes a set of challenges such as changes to infrastructure, maintenance and operating constraints.

  The BEVs Guideline is meant to drive technological development to enable diesel-free underground mines. The first edition provided much-needed guidance by offering a blueprint for mine design and equipment innovation and providing solutions to potential electric mine problems before they occur.

  The highly anticipated Version 2.0 considers new technologies and addresses gaps in the previous edition, adding material on emergency response, training and charger standardization.
