-
Conduct investigations of mineral deposits
and undertake evaluations in collaboration with geologists, other earth
scientists and economists to determine whether the mineral deposits can
be mined profitably
-
Determine the most suitable method of
mining the minerals taking into account factors such as the depth and
characteristics of the deposit and its surroundings
-
Prepare plans for mines, including tunnels
and shafts for underground operations, and pits and haulage roads for
open-cut operations, using computer-aided design packages
-
Prepare the layout of the mine development
and the procedure by which the minerals are to be mined
-
Plan and coordinate the employment of
mining staff and equipment with regard to efficiency, safety and
environmental conditions
-
Talk to geologists and other engineers
about the design, selection and provision of machines, facilities and
systems for mining, as well as infrastructure such as access roads,
water and power supplies
-
Liaise and coordinate with the operations
supervisor to make sure there is proper implementation of the plans
-
Operate computers to assist with
calculations, prepare estimates on the cost of the operation and control
expenditure when mines come into production
-
Oversee the construction of the mine and
the installation of plant and equipment
-
Make sure that mining regulations are
observed, including the proper use and care of explosives, and the
correct ventilation to allow the removal of dust and gases
