This course intends to train any user interested in being certified in MiningMath's Technology. Advanced modules will be developed in the future.
MiningMath's Online Certification Program aims to introduce the possibilities to maximize the project's value and reduce risks through a multivariate decision-making analysis, which is possible through Strategy Optimization.
Apart from the learning material provided, the applicant will receive license of MiningMath to practice exercises that will guide them throughout the basic functionalities of the software, concepts from Mine Planning, and Strategy Optimization.
Users interested in obtaining a certification must be wary of our Privacy Terms and conditions presented below.
The student must to complete the Final Assignment proposed to obtain the certification degree.
Limited FREE certificates. Only for the first concluding the program.
The student authorizes MiningMath to use every content created, as a result of this course, for commercial and advertising purposes.
Your performance will be evaluated and by the end you'll receive a rating. The best students will be invited to participate in our training program for a practical experience in real projects with mining companies interested in our technology.

This course aims to teach the basic theoretical framework behind Pit Optimization and Optimized Scheduling, with a hands-on approach that integrates the use of heuristic and linear optimization methods along with the pit-design stage.
Softwares used comprise RecMin to perform Floating Cone pit optimization and pit-design, SimSched PO* and SimSched DBS* to perform pit optimization and direct block scheduling, respectively.
