MANAGEMENT COURSE

SEG Conference Center, Littleton, Colorado
Organizer: Society of Economic Geologists (SEG)
Presenter: Western Mining Services (WMS)
SCOPE
This four-day training course concerns the principles and practices of effective exploration management. The curriculum
covers the spectrum of mineral exploration business issues that typically confront senior exploration managers.
Participants will leave with a better understanding of
• Mineral exploration at the strategic scale – the roles of greenfields and brownfields exploration in
development and implementation of corporate operating and growth strategies;
• Designing and managing exploration programs and portfolios;
• The importance of group structure, program design, process discipline and effective people management
in achieving exploration group objectives;
• Opportunity generation including the exploration search space concept, targeting science and the application
of targeting models; and
• How to negotiate land and minerals access deals transactions and how to identify and manage nontechnical
risks in order to make informed decisions, achieve enhanced project economics and maintain
the commercial and social licenses to operate exploration projects in diverse risk environments.
The course format utilizes both lecture and workshop and stresses interactive thinking and problem solving.
Participants will work in teams to design solutions to exploration management challenges and will present their results
to the larger group. Enrollment may be restricted depending upon the number of applicants.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course is ideal for regional and country exploration managers and for senior project managers who are on track
to move into positions of senior responsibility. It is also appropriate for geoscientists and commercial managers who
have senior exploration management roles in their futures and for government and academic professionals who interact
extensively with the mineral exploration industry.
