We offer a full range of training courses on IC-MinEval
and mineral deposit evaluation in conjunction with the Centre
for Continuing Education, Imperial College. These highly successful
courses have been held in London
in collaboration with the Management School, Imperial College,
in Johannesburg
in collaboration with the Wits Business School and the Geological
Society of South Africa and in Perth in collaboration with the
University of Western Australia.
Delegates have a wide range of backgrounds ranging from mining
analysts, fund and asset managers, financiers and development
aid officials to mineral resource managers, mining engineers and
geologists and come from a broad range of financial institutions,
NGO's and mining companies.
Recently we have also teamed up with Edumine to provide a range
of online training courses on IC-MinEval and the financial evaluation
of mineral projects.
Online Courses
An
Introduction to Modelling Project Finance (Link to Edumine
Course - New Window)
Provides an introduction to the critical issues associated with
debt financing of mining projects, illustrated by extensive practical
examples for several commodities. The course is aimed at professionals
throughout the mining industry and assumes a basic appreciation
of the main financial parameters of project financing.
Upcoming Taught Courses
Valuation
of Mineral Projects (Link to Edumine.com)
23
- 25 January 2008,Vancouver,
BC, Canada
A
three day course aimed at developing a strategic approach for
evaluating projects at the prefeasibility stage. Delegates will
be provided with the training needed to establish an independent
valuation of mineral projects. The course also aims to cover the
underlying financial and technical principles, which apply to
mineral projects, and to demonstrate how these influence the way
a financial model is constructed.
Technical
and Financial Evaluation of Mineral Projects
(Link to Imperial College)
31
March - 4 April 2008,
Wits Business School, Johannesbourg, South Africa
The aim of the course is to develop strategic approaches for evaluating
projects at the prefeasibility stage. Delegates will be provided
with the training needed to establish an independent valuation
of mineral projects.
The course
also aims to cover the underlying accountancy, financial and technical
principles which apply to mineral projects, and to demonstrate
how these influence the way a financial model is constructed.
Particular attention will be given to the
treatment of the key independent variables, such as grade, and
dependent variables, such as grade-tonnage relationships, and
the way these influence the rate of mining, associated costs and
optimisation of the net present value of a project.
The distinction between technical appraisal
and financial engineering will also be addressed and the reason
why discounted cash flow models need to be integrated correctly
into financial accounts explained. This will be linked to concepts
of shareholder value and the role of gearing to maintain an efficient
balance sheet.
Mineral
Project Appraisal and Finance (Link
to Imperial College)
25
- 29 February, 2008,
Imperial College, London
The
aim of the course is to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding
the main factors involved in securing the financial support for
mining projects through equity, debt, or entering into a joint
venture. This involves addressing the underlying technical principles,
applying these to mineral projects and demonstrating how these
influence the financial modelling.
The course is structured
in two sections. The focus of days 1 and 2 is on technical appraisal
issues, and that of days 3 - 5 is on quantitative finance aspects.
While not facilitating the development of a balanced overview,
attendance on either module separately is possible.
All the taught courses include
an evaluation license of IC-MinEval for use during the course
and access to the online course.
