Contemporary graduates in addition to professional expert engineers frequently come upon events the place discussions are held which are counterintuitive to the logically expert engineering brain. different impacts, whether or not they be monetary, social, cultural, environmental, or simple outdated stubbornness through anyone larger up the chain, can occasionally overrule the logical decision-making technique. Politics of Mining: What they do not educate You at school explores nontechnical concerns that experience an enormous impression within the mining industry-issues that almost all engineers do not research in class.

Electronic edition published 2009. Will It Be Business As Usual? Comments and Observations on Mergers and Acquisitions in the Mining Industry Fred H. Lightner* ABSTRACT Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the mining industry are becoming frequent events. Large companies and small companies alike are jumping on the bandwagon of merger mania. The results of these mergers have significant impacts on the employees of the involved companies. ” My answer is a simple NO. This paper attempts to provide support for my conclusion.
A fluorite/lead/zinc operation was not making grade. Operators continued to add cleaner cells to the flotation circuit to improve the grade of the concentrates. The cleaner flotation circuit circulating load thus increased to the point that they had to dump the cleaner tails from time to time, resulting in reduced recovery. Their solution was to add even more cleaner flotation cells to add flotation time to the cleaners for the purpose of making grade while not having to dump the cleaner tails as the circulating load increased.
For example, a certain mining company would not hire mining graduates from a particular university for a period of 6 to 8 years. The company had had an option on a mineral prospect, and they had sent a young geologist to supervise the drilling program and evaluate the core drilling for values. After the drilling program was complete, the young geologist sent back word that the program had encountered only a small seam of massive pyrite and that no minerals of value were found. The company dropped the option on the prospect.
