Mastering Aboriginal Inclusion in Mining is a module series developed in partnership with the Aboriginal Human Resource Council, the Mining Industry Human Resources (MiHR) and an alliance of more than 20 companies labour organizations and industry associations in the mining sector. Modules and workshops are specifically designed to help mining employers discover their individual business case for inclusion and learn proven tools and tricks for recruiting, retaining and advancing Aboriginal workers.
This report has been compiled to provide additional guidance for preparing manuals that outline procedures for the safe operation, maintenance and surveillance (OMS) of tailings and water management facilities.
A Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities provides a basis for the development of customized tailings management systems that address the specific needs of indi- vidual mining companies and local regulatory and community requirements.
The Saint Mary's University Environmental Science Program is a rigorous science undergraduate program using an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Our goal is to provide students with the academic preparation to allow them to contribute positively to an environmentally sound future. Students can specialize in many facets of environmental science, including geology and other mining related fields.
Graduate Research Assistantships are available from time to time in Mineral Resource Engineering from individual faculty members for highly qualified students.
The undergraduate mining engineering degree is fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) which means that graduates will be able to register as Professional Engineers once they have met post-graduation work experience and professional examination requirements. The core degree program covers the basic science and mathematics common to all engineering degrees and discipline-specific material.
Mineral Resource Engineering concentrates on the technical, environmental and economic aspects of the extraction and processing of the earth's mineral resources. It has a strong industrial and research interest in underground and surface mining for coal, oil shales, metals, gold and industrial minerals, and in mineral processing. Studies in reservoir engineering, offshore drilling and production of oil and gas complement the Mineral Resource Engineering Program.
