Description
Introduction
This course provides a fundamental understanding of mineral resource estimation and reporting standards used in the mining industry. Participants will learn how resources are classified, estimated, and reported in compliance with international standards such as JORC, NI 43-101, and SAMREC. The training will focus on phosphate, gold, and bauxite deposits, covering basic estimation techniques, sampling protocols, and quality assurance (QA/QC) requirements.
