INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMA COURSE ON TAILINGS : MANAGEMENT, OPERATION, OPTIMIZATION AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Iicio / Cursos OnLine / International Diploma Course on Tailings : Management, Operation, Optimization and New Technologies
PRESENTATION
Mining companies and new mining projects are implementing new construction and tailing disposal methods for a safe mine operation, closure and post closure. Therefore, the importance of knowing the applications of the Global Standard Systems in Tailings Management, such as the Mining Association of Canada "MAC", Towards Sustainable Mining "TSM", International Council on Mining and Metals "ICMM", all worth to learn in this so competitive and globalized era.
In the present century, more than 9 tailings dam have collapsed in the world, other 15 incidents were reported that could have been catastrophic collapses; this has led to improve and globalize the new Standards in the Management of Mining Tailings.
INTERMET, once again committed with the Environment and promoting Sustainable Development, is pleased to present the International Diploma Course in Tailings Management, which provides two important concepts to participants: Management Tools in the Identification of Hazards, evaluating and assessing all the risks existing in Tailings Dams and the Global Management Systems in Tailings Operations.
PLATFORMS
Consists of online classes, most of them in live and some pre-recorded. Streaming is via Zoom and a virtual platform is provided to download materials, post videos and evaluations/assignments.
ADMISSION
Professionals with experience in mining operations or research centers.
LANGUAGES
Spanish with simultaneous English interpretation.
Recorded classes will be storage in platform with access to participants any time.

JOSÉ LUIS DE LA CRUZ ( Perú )
Chemical Engineer with over 26 years in the mining industry, from which 19 years were dedicated to Tailings Management in Medium and Large Scale Mining.
Studied a 2nd specialization in Environmental Management and Slope Stability. In 2018, he finished his MBA in Business Administration in Miami.
He has started up and optimized 4 Tailings Dams, 3 in Peru and 1 in Cuba.
He has conducted research on new disruptive technologies in Tailings Stabilization with high acid drainage generation, at ATL Metallurgy in Perth Australia in 2019 and at Profiq Laboratory in Mexico.
He is currently developing applications of Nanotechnology for Tailings Reuse in Construction and Circular Economy Applications.
Moreover, he is designing a Filtered Tailings Plant in a Gold Mine in Ecuador and a Tailings Dam Closure in Southern Peru - Cuzco with Nanotechnology.
He is Manager of Tailings and Development of New Technologies at PowerTailings Technologies. He is a technical advisor in Tailings at PowerCem in Holland and consultant for InterMet in Peru.
