An online course designed to broaden the understanding of modern mining and its associated technologies, has been developed.  

The course aims to cover the complete mining cycle, from discovery to reclamation, as well as the latest innovation and technology spurring improvements in the sector. Participants are encouraged to learn about the importance of safety in all aspects of mining and the changes in mining and processing methods that are expected to reshape the industry over the next 20 years.

Online learning tools will include video lectures, virtual field trips, auto-graded quizzes and e-interviews with industry professionals.

Developed in partnership with Hexagon's mining division and the University of Arizona, the course will first be offered to Hexagon employees before being launched to the public through open enrolment.

The trend towards automation and data exchange is commonly referred to as Industry 4.0. and the online course has been named Mining 4.E, in reference to this trend. The seven-week programme will include topics such as big data analytics, sensors, the Internet of Things, three-dimensional simulation, modelling, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

In addition, the course aims to give students an understanding of the mining cycle and its associated steps, including ore deposits, mine valuation and economics, planning and design, operations, and safety and risk management.
