Bauma Halls of Ivy
Learn from the experienced and learning is a constant process of discovery- a process without end.
In order to be a successful entrepreneur, one should learn from the failures of others also. We are here to help you with the lessons learned from our own experiences and also based on the case studies. We will nurture and nourish you with the fundamentals of geology and mining as well as the environmental implications and mitigation measures for the sustainable growth of any business.
Geological Databases and Desktop studies
Focuses on collecting, evaluating, standardizing, validating, storing, and securing geological and spatial data. Your geological data is your asset: learn how to use and protect it.
Geological desktop studies are the compilation and analysis of all existing relevant data sets and are generally used to identify target areas for additional exploration. This is an extremely cost-effective risk reduction tool that provides an initial, yet comprehensive, overview of the project’s potential.
Geological Fieldwork
The participants will learn how to use geological equipment, collect field data, measure geological features, and extract the required information from rocks and how all this information can be used and applied.
Geological Field Mapping
The most basic way of obtaining geological information is through geological mapping. This may sound simple enough, but this is the primary way how the geological data is obtained and this is especially important in the initial stages of a project. Geological mapping forms the foundation on which all other geological data and geological interpretations are built. The better the geological mapping data, the better the interpretations and the overall project understanding.
A famous quote in mining is “the orebody dictates”, meaning that we can’t tell the Earth what we want to be there, but instead, we need to listen when it tells us what is actually there. Geological mapping is one way we listen.
Geochemical Sampling
This is the general term for all types of sampling. The “geo” refers to the spatial component that accompanies a sample and the “chemical” refers to the quantified numerical value of an element or compound obtained for that sample. This is a fancy way of saying we test the grade of a sample at a specific location. Any number of elements or compounds can be tested for. The most important aspect of sampling is to clearly understand what has been sampled and what it represents.
Bulk and Metallurgical Sampling
Bulk samples are extracted with the aim of reducing the sampling bias which occurs when small samples are used to represent large entities. Bulk samples are usually anything greater than 100 kg, however, the purpose and representability of the sample are more important than the mass.
Metallurgical samples are commonly extracted as a bulk sample with the aim of getting enough material to accurately represent the deposit or a lithological portion of the deposit. The metallurgical samples are then tested for characteristics pertaining to the processing and extraction of the desired element/metal, more than to the chemical composition.
Drilling for Geologists
This course covers the fundamental processes that are involved in drilling (types, methods, techniques, operation, etc.). The participants will also learn how to effectively identify how to plan drill holes and manage all aspects of a drilling project.
This also covers everything to do with logging and sampling of drill core, RC rock chips, and percussion chips. This includes recovery, alteration, lithological, mineralization, and Geotech (RQD) logging, as well as sampling protocols and extraction techniques.
Drilling is probably the second most powerful tool in a geologist’s arsenal, the first being geological mapping. Once target areas have been identified from the mapping data then drill holes can be planned. The aim of drilling is to obtain material from known intersections and depths below the surface so that interpretations of the geology can be made and samples of the mineralization can be collected.
The type of drilling performed plays a big role in what data can be collected, the method of collection, and the planning of the drill holes in order to maximize the amount of data obtained.
The following drilling methods are commonly used:
⦁ Diamond Drilling /Core Drilling
⦁ Auger Drilling
⦁ RC Drilling
ESA and EIA Preparation
This course covers how to prepare Environmental Site Assessment Report and Environmental Impact Assessment. This course would help the participants on the aspects of the collection of baseline data, what to record from the site visit and major parameters to be considered for an ESA and EIA study.
