MINING ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTThe Department of Mining Engineering at IIT Kharagpur started in 1956 with the first batch of B.Tech students. It has played a pioneering role in the introduction of modern mining engineering curriculum in India. The faculty members are reputed for writing text books, publishing international journal papers, and actively involving themselves in industrial consultancy and short term courses.

CLIMATE AND ACCESSIBILITYIn August, delegates can expect monsoon weather conditions. Kharagpur is well connected by rail from all parts of the country. From most big towns and cities the participants can reach Kharagpur by direct trains.

MODE OF PAYMENT

SPONSORED PARTICIPANTSThe course fee is Rs. 20,000/- per participant which will include course material and instructions. The accommodation of the participants will be arranged at the Technology Guest House of the institute at their own expense (non-residential course).

STRATEGIC MINE PLANNINGAND DESIGN

Advances in information technology and mine planning

software have made the tedious job of mine planning and

design easier to complete. However, the complexity of the

large number of software available for this purpose makes it

difficult to perform the tasks without a clear understanding

of the principles of strategic mine planning and design. With

re-defined procedures for developing the Indian mining and

exploration industries, and with the advent of new methods

of resource classification and allocation through the system

of auctions, mining professionals need an understanding of

the new terminologies and classification procedures so that

they can provide better guidance to a variety of

stakeholders.

This short course is tailored to the needs of surface and

underground mining engineers and geologists to address the

processes of Strategic Mine Planning and Design in coal and

non-coal operations starting from the pre-feasibility design

stage to long-term and planning and scheduling. Recent

changes in the methods of designation of mineral resources

and reserves will be discussed to expose the participants to

the new terminologies and procedures. This will include

discussions on the UNFC and CRIRSCO templates for

developing different levels of study reports. The course will

also include a one-day hands-on training on mine planning

and design software such as MineSight, Surpac, and Whittle.

The following topics will be covered in the programme:Ÿ Pre-feasibility and Feasibility StudiesŸ Resource and reserve classificationŸ Ore reserve estimation and geostatisticsŸ Cut-off grade estimationŸ Design of optimum pitŸ Slope and waste dump stability analysesŸ Production schedulingŸ GPS and GIS applications in mine planningŸ Underground mining methodsŸ Stope design principlesŸ Design of underground mine layouts Ÿ Ventilation planningŸ Development of accesses

Academic Institution / Sponsoring Industry

The lecture classes will be taken mainly by the faculty members of Mining Engineering and allied Departments of the Institute. Some of the lecture sessions will be taken by experts from outside organizations. Members of the National Core Committee for the development of the Indian Mineral Industry Guide (IMIG) will be present for discussions on the UNFC and CRIRSCO templates.A one-day hands-on training on the use of mine planning software with special emphasis on MineSight, Surpac and Whittle will be held on the last day of the short course.
