Local copper and skills development company Copper 360's School of Mining debuted its first set of courses at its Concordia copper mining operation, in the Northern Cape, on September 11.The school has launched with seven courses. This includes basic surface geology; sampling; orebody technician; mineral resource management; drone technology; introduction to mining law; and urban design for mining communities.
The courses were developed in-house and Copper 360 has sourced experienced geologists and other mining professionals to contribute to and present the material. Copper, nickel, manganese and other minerals have attracted significant interest in the province’s reserves. “The workforce is there, but it is not employment-ready. In anticipation of growth in the resource sector, the School of Mining is in place to mend this chasm,” he says.
