EduMine's mining campus just became a lot smarter, with expanded training content that covers the mining workforce and delivery by an LMS platform designed for mining.
Recommendations regarding better site investigation procedures, and stricter adherence to tailings management procedures are obvious steps in the right direction.
The Mount Polley failure in Canada, in 2014, and the tailings facility failure at the iron ore mine at Samarco in Brazil in November 2015, are fresh reminders of the need for proper training in all aspects of design, operation and management of tailings facilities.
While mining has historically affected its surrounding environment, advances in technology and changes in water management techniques mean that many negative impacts are now avoidable.
