Geochemical characterization of mine waste and facilities is essential to support design, operations, and planning for closure. Characterization can be a bewildering component of any mining project, from sample selection to laboratory protocols and application of results. This workshop aims to debug the mystery surrounding geochemical characterization of mined materials by illustrating the valuable applications of the results to successful permitting, optimized material handling, effective mine waste management, and preservation of water quality.
Objectives for characterization programs will be explored, and various testing protocols will be reviewed, with the merits and limitations of each assessed.
Cost: $350
