The 13th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers - proEXPLO presents several specialized courses for professionals dedicated to mineral exploration, one of them is the Fundamentals of Mineral Resource Estimation course.

This is a very popular course at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) mining convention that will be given in Lima by a team of professional experts from SLR Consulting, who will present the fundamentals of Mineral Resource estimation following the CIM Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines.

The target audience includes mainly exploration and mine geologists, as they are primarily responsible for the discovery, definition and production of mineral deposits.

The content starts with drilling databases and progresses to cover resource domains, exploratory data analysis, trend analysis, estimation techniques, cut-off grade calculation, classification criteria and Mineral Resource statement.

Specific considerations for the mineral resource model will be explored, including practical aspects such as the proposed mining method and equipment, as well as geostatistical aspects such as criteria in the proper selection of domains. SLR will explain the basics and importance of each step, and mention common risks and mistakes. The course will also be complemented with various exercises.

This course will be taught by Benjamín Sanfurgo, Principal Geologist at SLR Consulting, with more than 26 years of experience; Sean Horan, Technical Director of Geology and Principal Geologist at SLR Consulting; and Rosmery Cárdenas, Technical Manager of Geology and Principal Geologist at SLR Consulting.
