Join us for a 4-hour online training course on 23–24 October 2025 (18:00–20:00 CET), led by Prof. Isidro Diego Álvarez, University of Oviedo. This practical course introduces participants to RecMin, a professional-grade software developed over the last 30 years, used to model mineral deposits and design open-pit and underground mines.
You will gain hands-on experience in creating block models, applying geostatistics, and calculating resources and reserves using the floating cone method — essential skills for geologists and mining engineers.
When: 23 & 24 October 2025, 18:00–20:00 CET
Where: Online (live sessions)
Presenter: Prof. Isidro Diego Álvarez (University of Oviedo)
Fees:
