Participants will learn how to perform
economic resource evaluations from mineral exploration techniques,
quantification of discovered mineral resources to performing market analysis
for the discovered resources. They will learn how to collect and analyze
geological samples, record information, and look after the practical tasks
involved in servicing a remote mine field operation.
The main mining techniques will focus on
surface and underground mining. The participant will gain a general
understanding of the themes of stress and strain, constitutive behavior, rock
properties, stress in rock and rock masses, as well as rock mass properties.
Upon successful completion, you will be
prepared to pass the certification in order to work on a mine.

Assessment:
After completing and passing the course
successfully, you will be able to obtain an Accredited Certificate of
Achievement.
At the end of the course, you will be required
to do a real-life Project.
Your evaluation will ascertain whether you
qualify for a certificate of Technical Competence.
It is important to note that some course
assessments lead to the award of an accredited certificate by the Ministry of
Education and Sports of Uganda.
