Professional Series: Managing your drilling campaign (Working with your contractor)
Join the Perth Branch for their October Professional Series event: Managing your drilling campaign (Working with your contractor).
About this event
This 4-hour Lecture is designed for those working, or intending to work, in the upstream end of the Resources Industry who are becoming directly or indirectly involved with the planning, costing and supervision of drilling operations.
Drilling is one of the most expensive components of any exploration and mining program, leading to Multi-level Feasibility Studies (Scoping, PFS & DFS). One of the most characteristic features of this course is to educate the resource professional in the intricacies of a drilling program; thus, keeping cost to a minimum and quality to a maximum.
Drilling is a data gathering exercise that needs to be economic and accurate. Reporting standards to investors and competent authorities demand this accuracy.
Focus:
The focus is on the means by which exploration managers, geologists and mining companies can identify, characterize, quantify and mitigate the risks associated with drilling operations.
Who Should be Interested?
National Resource Companies, Resource Managers, Exploration Managers, Investors, Bankers, Geologists, Engineers, Exploration Personnel, and Academics.
