Management in Mineral Exploration

background

This 5 day training course will provide an introduction to the skills and methods required for modern minerals exploration management.

This course is primarily aimed at geologists who have recently been appointed as an Exploration Manager, or anyone who aspires to become an Exploration Manager within the next few years. The workshop format of the course, which is designed to promote class discussion and interaction, means that it will also be of interest to anyone who is already an Exploration Manager.

The course would serve as a useful introduction to the business of mineral exploration for any non-technical professionals who track the activities of mineral explorers in the market, or others who work in the industry.

“This is a management book about mineral exploration. It does not cover the technical details of exploration methods or technologies. Rather, it focuses on the management process, as it relates to exploration. It is primarily aimed at the newly appointed or inexperienced Exploration Manager, who could do with some guidance on how to manage. However, I hope that others, with more experience, might also find some useful snippets of information, especially any that improve their own performance as managers.” -Nick Franey, Author.
