Energy costs represent a significant component of the total costs of operations for Canada’s mining sector. Directly and indirectly, the energy use in the mining sector is also a significant contributor to Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. Improving energy efficiency reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate changes.

This book is crafted against the backdrop of the commodities super-cycle that we had in the first decade of the 21st Century, and the mining industry having learnt severe lessons. Dr Ian Runge summarized the decade-long experiment with the prioritization of volumes and said, “The economics of mining is at an inflection point. For the last decade or so our focus has been on developing mines and bringing them into production. It is not production on its own that is important, it is how efficiently we can produce.”¹ The message was echoed by Ivan Glasberg, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Glencor at the time of penning this book: “The big guys really screwed up (during the super-cycle) by building too many mines”, and as a result he opined that miners needed to learn about supply and demand fundamentals. “The real trap in the gold industry in the past was chasing volume,” said Tom Palmer, Newmont CEO and, “No one made any real money,” according to Barrick Gold Corporation’s CEO, Mark Bristow. <...>

In this book, management is defined as the process of generating plans and supervising their implementation. For a mineral resource, these plans relate to a strategy that determines how the resource is to be exploited. The process has two important aspects—one is the organizational setting within which it occurs, and the other is the set of techniques available for the analyses. Ideas in both areas have evolved rapidly in recent years and this book presents an authoritative review of the current state of the art.

The WA School of Mines, established in 1902, has been a core part of Curtin University since 1969 when it came on board to deliver mining education programs as part of what was then the Western Australian Institute of Technology.

As one of the first mining schools in Australia, it has adapted and expanded over more than a century to better support the education and research needs of the broader resources industry. In addition to retaining its mining roots, the School now also incorporates chemical engineering, mineral and energy economics and petroleum engineering. <...>

Economic geology is a mixtum compositum of all geoscientific disciplines focused on one goal, finding new mineral depsosits and enhancing their exploitation. The keystones of this mixtum compositum are geology and mineralogy whose studies are centered around the emplacement of the ore body and the developmentof its minerals and rocks. In the present study, mineralogy and geology act as x- and y-coordinates of a classification chart of mineral resources called the “chessboard” (or “s preadsheet”) classification scheme. Magmatic and sedimentary lithologies together with tectonic structures (1-D/pipes, 2-D/veins) are plotted along the x-axis in the header of the spreadsheet diagram representing the columns in this chart diagram. 63 commodity groups, encompassing minerals and elements are plotted along the y-axis, forming the lines of the spreadsheet. These commodities are subjected to a tripartite subdivision into ore minerals, industrial minerals/rocks and gemstones/ornamental stones. <...>

Most mining companies have a massive amount of data at their disposal. However, they cannot use the stored data in any meaningful way. The powerful new business tool-advanced analytics enables many mining companies to aggressively leverage their data in key business decisions and processes with impressive results.

In this book, Dr. Soofastaei and his colleagues reveal howall mining managers can effectively deploy advanced analytics in their day-to-day operations—one business decision at a time.

From statistical analysis to machine learning and artificial intelligence, the authors show how many analytical tools can improve decisions about everything in the mine value chain, from exploration to marketing.

Combining the science of advanced analytics with the mining industrial business solutions, introduce the “Advanced Analytics in Mining Book” as a practical road map and tools for unleashing the potential buried in your company’s data.
