The main aim of this course is;
Course objectives include:
Introduction to basic computer applications in mining including the use of Surpac to expose students to string drawings, pit designs, volume calculations, contouring and plotting, block modelling as well as database management
MINE DRAINAGE
The control of water in a mine including prevention of water accumulation and de-watering.
This course, Operations
research is concerned with optimal decision making in, and modelling of,
deterministic and probabilistic systems that originate from real life. These
applications that occur in government, business, engineering, economics, and
natural science and social science, are characterised largely by the need to
allocate limited resources.
You are all warmly welcome to part-take in he Mine Planning and Design course.
It will be of a great benefit to you in future if you take the course serious.
The course is covered through lectures, class discussions and individual as well as group-based learning tasks and presentations. The tutorials which will be used to reinforce these, will count as part of each lecture. This is to enable each student to apply and demonstrate the skill(s) he or she has acquired or developed. The student is expected to read the lecture notes and any supplementary material(s) before attending lectures so that he or she can learn better by actively participating and meaningfully contributing to class discussions. As a student, you will benefit immensely from the course and appreciate it.
You are welcome to the MN 372 course for the year 2023. This course is to help you gain an in-depth practical knowledge to help you in your future career. Take the course serious to have a good outcome.
This course will equip students with knowledge in making holes in rock for the purposes of blasting, drainage and other services. It will also enable the student to select types of explosives for any given project. The student will be able to illustrate safe handling and use of commercial explosives as well as conduct analyses regarding blasting issues in the mining and allied industries as a Mining Engineer.
You are all welcome to the Principle of Mine Planning and Design Course.
