What will I learn?
Acquire practical skills to confidently plan and evaluate open pit mining projects. Master gathering and justifying key assumptions, designing conceptual pits and pushbacks, building life-of-mine schedules, matching fleets to throughput, and conducting simple cash flow and NPV analyses. Practice risk assessment, adhere to reporting standards, and produce clear documentation for defensible mine plans.
