CET online Short Course Series

These short courses are aimed at geoscientists from both industry and academia.
They will be delivered online from 15:00 to 18:00 (Perth time - UTC+8) every day to facilitate the attendance of professionals and researchers located remotely or overseas.

Fundamentals of Project Evaluation and Risk Analysis

This course is an ideal practical introduction to project modelling and financial evaluation for professionals in the mineral exploration, mining and security industry.

It will provide an understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of finance and project evaluation as applied to the resources sector. The focus will be on practical learning based on the construction of a financial model of a mine using Excel. Modelling will progress from an initial simplistic template to a more realistic ‘base’ case, including more detailed consideration of its revenue function and funding of capital investments during its pre-production stage.

Delivery mode: Online

Date: 24th to 27th August 2021

Duration: 4 days (12 hours) three-hour daily sessions from 15:00 to 18:00 (Perth time - GMT+8)

Cost: CET Members AU$ 360 + GST - Non-Members AU$ 500 +GST -University Postdocs and Fellows AU$ 200 - Students AU$ 100

Critical Evaluation of 3D Geological Models

This three-day course will cover the principles of 3D geological modelling from a software-agnostic perspective. We will cover a range of 3D modelling use cases; discuss the choice of input data; the various methodologies for predicting 3D geology; how to characterise and reduce uncertainty; how to incorporate geophysical constraints and how to use 3D models as part of a minerals prospectivity workflow.
