    Structural Geology Guidelines for use in Burst-prone Underground Mines Short Course

    Is your project or mine in a structurally complex, high stress, potentially rock burst-prone setting?

    CEMI is pleased to join Golder Associates and SRK Consulting in hosting a 2-day Structural Geology Guidelines for use in Burst-Prone Underground Mines short course in October 2012. Course Poster

    Two chances for you to take advantage of this opportunity!

    October 15-16, 2012
    08:00 – 17:00
    Willet Green Miller Centre – Auditorium
    933 Ramsey Lake Road, Sudbury, Ontario

    October 18-19, 2012
    08:00 – 17:00
    Location: Downtown Toronto – more details to follow
    Toronto, Ontario

    The course will be comprised of technical presentations and hands-on practical sessions focused on providing attendees with an awareness of: the risks posed in burst-prone mines; the structural geology and other geotechnical aspects to pay attention to and measure in drill core and in drift mapping; and the tools to use to optimize design and response effectiveness during project/mine design, development and operation.

    Specific sessions will include:

    • An overview of the mine system, rock mass behaviour, and the coupled structural geology rock mechanics approach;
    • A detailed review of the importance of relevant structural geology parameters at the regional and local scale and the case for careful observation and analysis;
    • A discussion, with examples provided, of drill hole and drift mapping structural and other geotechnical data collection techniques and tools used, including data analysis;
    • A practical consideration of the importance of stress and geologic structure interactions in burst-prone underground mines; and
    • Consideration of how to practically integrate stress and structural geology as well as other geotechnical measurements when evaluating the implications for mine design and stope sequencing.

    Course Instructors:

    Trevor Carter, Ph.D, P.Eng., Principal, Golder Associates
    Wayne Barnett, Ph.D, Pr.Sci.Nat, Principal Structural Geologist, SRK Consulting
