About this course

Overview

This specialisation is appropriate for students from a broad range of Engineering disciplines. It covers key characteristics and considerations in physical processes of primary metal production. Students will develop an understanding of the foundational concepts of, and linkages between, ore and mineral properties, physico-chemical processing units and environmental and social aspects of mining and processing operations. The insights gained provide a mineral processing context for the raft of engineering professions that work on site, in design teams and provide services to the growing sector.
