Short CoursesTHREE DAY SHORT COURSE | SUNDAY DECEMBER 1, MONDAY DECEMBER 2 & TUESDAY DECEMBER 3

USING SRCE VERSION 2.0 – NEW AND UPDATED TRAININGCost: $650

Instructor: Jeff Parshley, P.G., C.P.G., C.E.M, Group Chairman, SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc., Reno, NV

Course DescriptionThe Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimator (SRCE) is a public domain Microsoft Excel-based tool that has been used in Nevada for more than 10 years to calculate mine closure costs for financial assurance. The SRCE uses straightforward user inputs to create a first-principles esti-mate of closure costs. In addition to the Nevada-specific version, anoth-er version of SRCE is available for use in other states and internationally.

Over the last two years the non-Nevada version has been significantly upgraded with numerous new features and improved performance to create SRCE 2.0. The new features greatly expand the capabilities and functionality of the model - so much that we have completely re-vamped our standard SRCE training short course.

Because so many of the new features focus on things like detailed cost scheduling, filtering, and tracking costs by category, we have completely updated our curriculum to focus on strategizing the model setup based on site or company specific needs, and the type and intent of the cost estimate.

There will still be a heavy emphasis on hands-on training, but after an initial few simple exercises, we will focus on closure cost types, how to set up a closure chart of accounts, developing useful filters, and effective scheduling for project-specific needs. Because the scope of the training has expanded beyond the introductory nature of previous short courses, this will be a three-day short course.

Attendees will need to bring a laptop computer and engineering scale ruler for the hands-on exercises. If users wish to bring an existing SRCE model from a previous version, we will show them the process of im-porting that model into SRCE Version 2.0.

TWO DAY SHORT COURSES | MONDAY DECEMBER 2 & TUESDAY DECEMBER 3

UNDERSTANDING THE SEC'S NEW MININGDISCLOSURE RULE: S-K 1300Cost: $450

Instructors: Greg Gosson, Technical Director, Geology & Compliance, Wood, Vancouver, BC Canada

Stella Searston, Consulting Geologist, Mine Technical Ser-vices, Denver, CO

Course DescriptionThe new SEC rule rescinds Industry Guide 7 and consolidates all mineral property disclosure requirements into Regulation S-K 1300. The new rule modernizes disclosure requirements since IG 7 dates back to 1982, and provides investors with a more comprehensive understanding of registrant’s mineral properties. The new rule more closely aligns the SEC’s disclosure requirements and policies for mineral properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards. S-K 1300 became effective February 25, 2019 and mining registrants can volun-tarily immediately comply with the new rule. All mining registrants with the SEC must comply from January 1st, 2021 onward.

This short course will compare Regulation S-K 1300 disclosure require-ments to the current SEC Industry Guide 7 and will cover the following topics on Regulation S-K 1300:

• Those companies that must comply and those that are exempt

• The three defined stages of mining issuers, and of mineral proper-ties

• Requirements for “summary disclosure” and for “individual prop-erty disclosure”

• Determining material mineral properties

• Exploration results, mineral resource and mineral reserve disclo-sure requirements

• “Initial assessment” reports and their required content

• “Feasibility study” and “pre-feasibility study” reports and their required parameters

• “Technical report summary” report triggers and their required content

• Qualified Person definition, registrant’s requirements and QP responsibilities

• Commodity price allowances and marketing study requirements

• Reconciliation disclosure

• Internal controls disclosure requirements

• Voluntary disclosure allowances

Course participants will be provided with a course completion certifi-cate.

TWO DAY SHORT COURSES | MONDAY DECEMBER 2 & TUESDAY DECEMBER 3... (Continued)

SECURITY MANAGEMENT COURSECost: $450Instructor: Joe Fifield, Safety & Security Manager, SRK Exploration

Services Ltd, Stockport, UK

Course DescriptionDue to increasing foreign exploration budgets and mining investment in developing nations the minerals industry is faced with new and more frequent threats from human and natural sources. Kidnapping has be-come commonplace in some parts of the world as are natural disasters in locations with minimal emergency response plan. Sadly, violent ex-tremism or terrorism and the minerals industry are beginning to occupy some of the same spaces.

This two-day short course is designed for both management and field personnel. It explores a number of critical issues and possible risk situ-ations related to working in high risk, uncontrollable, environments. In addition to an overview of current risks, we will talk about how to devel-op security management plans, threat assessment, preparing travel risk assessments, security risk management, and how to respond to a crisis. We will consider situations created from both natural and human caus-es, such as kidnapping, violent extremism, and earthquakes.

The course will be taught by a former British special forces operative who has been consulting with the minerals industry for more than 20 years in security management in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and South America.

ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR MINERALS & ORESCost: $300Instructor: Uwe Kӧnig, Product Marketing XRD, Malvern Panalytical, Netherlands

Course DescriptionThis workshop aims to provide mining professionals an overview of analytical techniques that can add efficiency and productivity to today’s mining operations. Analytical techniques covered include X-ray Fluo-rescence Spectrometry, X-ray Diffraction, fusion sample preparation, particle size analysis, elemental analyzers on-line, Near Infrared (NIR), and analysis automation for the production process, from mineral ex-ploration to quality control and environmental impacts. Attendees will learn about the practical useage of these techniques at different types of mining operations, performance specifications, typical applications, and comparison of techniques. Proper analytical techniques can ensure maximum useage of minerals and mining waste materials, assure pro-duct quality and consistency, reduce environmental impact by monito-ring of waste streams, detect problematic phases such as swelling clays, and provide valuable feedback to optimize control of operations such as grinding/milling.

HEAP LEACHING TECHNOLOGY Cost: $ 300Instructor: Thom Seal, Ph.D.,P.E., Q.P., Mining - Metallurgical - Mineral Process Engineer, Director of the Institute of Mineral Resource StudiesBarrick Gold of North America Professor, Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno

Course DescriptionThe technology of heap leaching gold and silver ores originated at the University of Nevada, Reno and the US Bureau of Mines on the campus. The class will cover the history of the evolution of this technology to today’s heap leach operations which represented about 10% of the gold production in 2004. Gold and silver heap leaching in Nevada is big with man made mountains that provide the economics for the large open pit mines to be profitable from material that was previously waste rock.

Presentations in the class will be made by leaders in the field led by Dr. Thom Seal, PE, a UNR professor and inventor and developer of the Hydro-JexTM 3-D heap leaching technology, who will address the history and theory of heap leaching. Dr. Carl Nesbitt, Principal Metallurgist for Welsh Hagen of Reno will add his expertise on the hydrometallurgy occurring in the heap leaching process. Dr. Seal will inform the class participants on the proper sampling of material for heap leach testing, while elaborating on agglomeration, column leaching and metallurgical lab tests. Expert consultants will lay the foundation for the construction of heap leach pads by a presentation on the Geotechnical Aspects of Heap Leaching. Heap Leach operations and optimization will be presented by Dr. Seal. A representative from UNR will present basic economic data on the heap leach technology. Dr. Seal will conclude the class on the subject of closure and reclamation of heap leach pads.

Preliminary presentations include:

• History and Theory of Heap Leaching, Dr. Thom Seal, Director IMRS, University of Nevada Reno, Reno, NV

• Hydrometallurgy in Heap Leaching, Dr. Carl Nesbitt, Principal Metallurgist, Welsh-Hagen, Reno, NV

NEW MINING IN OLD DISTRICTS – Are they the future of new mine development in the U.S.?

Area of Interest - Operations

Chaired by: Doug Stiles, General Manager, Hecla Montana, Hecla Mining Company, Coeur d'Alene, ID

Session Description:Sometimes, the best place to find a new prospect is in an area with his-torical success. Not only can historic mining districts present a wealth of geologic and past production information, but existing infrastructure and favorable land positions present many new project attractants. Furthermore, yesterday’s cut-off grade could be today’s high-grade AND yesterday’s no-value byproduct could be today’s primary resource. With greenfield development in the US becoming more difficult, do old districts hold special promise as providing safe(r) harbor for new project development? In this session, we will hear from a number of new prospects arising from past projects or within known mining districts. The project proponents will provide their view on how known resource areas could be the future of new mine development in the US.

MINING HYDROLOGY - PIT LAKESArea of Interest - Operations

Chaired by: Mike Hardy, Senior Project Manager, Lumos & Associates, Reno, NV and

Ronald Parratt Jr., Environmental Specialist, Newmont Mining Corporation, Reno, NV

Session Description: Pit Lakes are commonly the end result of large scale surface mining operations which intercepted the groundwater table. These lakes form when active dewatering is terminated once the mineral resource has been mined. The filling of the pit with water continues for several years until the lake surface is approximately equal to the original elevation of the groundwater table. Regulations associated with pit lakes state gen-erally that mining operations cannot degrade the quality of groundwa-ter below pre-defined standards or the water quality in the area before it was mined. Even more specific to pit lakes, the pit lake cannot pose an adverse threat to human, terrestrial or avian life. In addition, the annual evaporation (Consumptive Use) that occurs from these lakes need to

Chaired by: Jeff Parshley P.G., C.P.G., C.E.M, Group Chairman, SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc., Reno, NV

Session Description:This interactive session will include some brief presentations on the road that the industry traveled during the last three years to success-fully defeat the Obama administration’s CERCLA 108b draft rule, which could have been an existential threat to the industry. There were a lot of moving parts in the effort and numerous parties working together to dodge this bullet.

And now we are facing several new potential existential threats such as the Grijalva bill (H.R. 2579). In this session we will analyze what worked in the 108b battle, why those things worked, and attempt to develop an industry collaboration framework that we can used to deflect the next existential threat heading our way and any that follow.

Audience participation mandatory. Beer will be served to lubricate the discussions. Panel members include:

• Industry Collaboration - Other Examples and Best Practices when your company has identified an issue, Tawney Bridgeford, Deputy General Counsel, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, National Mining Association, Washington, D.C.

• AEMA Engagaement with the Small Business Administration on 108(b) and Trade Association Engagement, Laura Skaer, Owner, Laura Skaer Consulting, Columbia, MO

THE CURT EVERSON GREAT BASINEXPLORATION SESSIONArea of Interest: Mineral Deposits, Geology & Exploration

Chaired by: Greg Hill, Principal Geologist, Renaissance Gold, Inc., Reno, NV

Session Description: New and exciting gold targets continue to emerge from exploration and mining companies large and small. From individual prospectors to junior explorers and mid-tier producers, high-quality epithermal and Carlin-style targets are being generated and drill tested. Some are little known while others have prominent Great Basin addresses. In some cases, there has been no historic drilling, while others have been lightly drilled, leaving open interesting and viable untested targets. The session will feature examples of prospects being explored with well-thought out, data supported target concepts, based on boots on the ground geologic work.
