SHORT COURSES
SHORT COURSE | MONDAY DECEMBER 5 & TUESDAY DECEMBER 6
USING THE STANDARDIZED RECLAMATION COST ESTIMA-
TOR (SRCE) VERSION 2.0 EFFECTIVELY
Cost $550 successful, holistic implementation of the mine waste solution.
Presented by: Jeff Parshley, P.G., C.P.G., C.E.M. Corporate Consultant,
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc., Reno, NV
The Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimator (SRCE) is a public domain
Microsoft Excel-based tool that can be used to calculate mine closure
costs. The SRCE uses straightforward user input to create a first-princi-
ples estimate of closure costs. A state-specific version is currently used
in Nevada by most of the mines and another version is available for use
in other states and internationally.
This two-day short course is designed to introduce the SRCE and provide
hands-on training to persons interested in using the tool. Instructors will
use a combination of teaching tools including, hands-on examples, to
familiarize attendees with the components of the model, and provide
short-cuts and tips to help them make effective use of the tool. Ad-
vanced topics will include how to create custom calculations within the
SRCE and integrate the results from other closure cost estimating tools
into the SRCE to create an all-inclusive closure cost estimate.
This year we will be using a beta version of the new SRCE 2.0 for the
short course. This version has a number of new features including the
ability to perform detailed scheduling of costs, filtering by location,
area and project phase.
Attendees will need to bring a laptop computer and engineering scale
for the hands-on exercises.
SHORT COURSE | MONDAY DECEMBER 5 & TUESDAY DECEMBER 6
MINE WASTE MANAGEMENT, TAILINGS AND WASTE ROCK
TECHNOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES
Cost $550
Course Organizer: Isaac Ahmed, BA.Sc, MA.Sc, P.Eng, Associate, Senior
Project Engineer, Golder Associates Ltd., Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Mine waste management is an integral part of mining operations.
Different strategies for the management of tailings and waste rock are
being developed to mitigate environmental impacts, decrease costs and
help reach the mining companys sustainability goals. The intent of this
workshop is to provide the audience with the latest technologies and
techniques in mine waste management.
The workshop will first present the current concepts employed in
todays modern mines to manage tailings; process tailings to different
dewatered states, to a thickened non-segregating, paste or filter cake
consistency. The workshop will then show how these processed tailings
can be deposited in pit or combined with waste rock in some cases in
co-disposal, co-mingling and paste rock applications. Strategic planning
for closure and dam stability will form a part of these discussions. The
advantages and disadvantages of these mine waste disposal techniques
will be discussed along with the technologies required to process the
tailings and waste rock. Current trends in backfilling will also be a topic
within this workshop. Case studies will be used to demonstrate the ad-
vantages of these techniques. Emphasis will be on the practical aspects
of the mine waste facility and tailings processing plant operations, sys-
tems and procedures, based on our experience in design, construction,
commissioning and operation of such systems.
The design of mine waste management systems involves a multi-disci-
plinary team. On the deposition side, on site selection, dam design and
water management, expertise in the areas of geochemistry, hydrolo-
Page 6
gy, water resources, hydrogeology and geotechnical engineering are
required, with careful consideration on the environmental and social
aspects of the mine waste facility. On the tailings processing side with
transporting and dewatering tailings, a diverse team of engineers, fully
conversant in process, mechanical, pipeline, electrical, instrumentation
and structural engineering is required. In all cases, a thorough under-
standing of the tailings and waste rock properties is essential to the
SHORT COURSE 5 | MONDAY DECEMBER 5
HEAP LEACHING TECHNOLOGY
Cost: $275
Instructor: Thom Seal, PH.D.,P.E., Q.P., Mining - Metallurgical - Mineral
Process Engineer, Director of the Institute of Mineral Resource Studies
Barrick Gold of North America Professor, Mackay School of Earth
Sciences and Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno
The technology of heap leaching gold and silver ores originated at the
University of Nevada, Reno and the US Bureau of Mines on the campus.
The class will cover the history of the evolution of this technology to
todays heap leach operations which represented about 10% of the gold
production in 2004. Gold and silver heap leaching in Nevada is big with
man made mountains that provide the economics for the large open pit
mines to be profitable from material that was previously waste rock.
Presentations in the class will be made by leaders in the field led by
Dr. Thom Seal, PE, a UNR professor and inventor and developer of the
Hydro-JexTM 3-D heap leaching technology, who will address the history
and theory of heap leaching. Dr. Carl Nesbitt, Principal Metallurgist
for Welsh Hagen of Reno will add his expertise on the hydrometallurgy
occurring in the heap leaching process. Dr. Seal will inform the class
participants on the proper sampling of material for heap leach testing,
while elaborating on agglomeration, column leaching and metallurgical
lab tests. A representative from Knight Piesold will lay the foundation
for the construction of heap leach pads by a presentation on the
Geotechnical Aspects of Heap Leaching. Heap Leach operations and
optimization will be presented by Dr. Seal. A representative from UNR
will present basic economic data on the heap leach technology. Dr.
Seal will conclude the class on the subject of closure and reclamation of
heap leach pads.
Preliminary presentations include:
History and Theory of Heap Leaching, Dr. Thom Seal
Hydrometallurgy in Heap Leaching, Dr. Carl Nesbitt
Geotechnical Aspects of Heap Leaching, Dr. Thom Seal
Ore Sampling and Agglomeration, Dr. Thom Seal
Heap Leach Operation and Optimization, Dr. Thom Seal

THE MASTER CASS ASSAY QUALITY CONTROL WORKSHOP
Cost: $255
Instructors: LINDA BLOOM, M.SC., P.GEO, President & CEO, Analytical
Solutions Ltd., Toronto, ON, CANADA and Elizabeth Zbinden, PhD, Inde-
pendent (Consulting) Geologist & Geochemist, Reno, NV
Topics:
The Art of Fire Assay: Risk assessment of fire assay techniques to design
better assay quality control programs.
AEMAs 2016 Final Preregistration Brochure
Assay Quality Control Programs: A discussion of regulatory requireme-
nets, industry standards, and the effective use of QC.
Is it a QC Failure? Now What? Defining the correct control limits and
deciding on corrective action can be time consuming. Learn how to
stream line decision making and improve confidence in the assays.
Precision and Uncertainty: Error in geochemical data and assays does
not undermine their value, but it is essential to understand the associ-
ated risk. An assessment of the various tools to assess precision with an
emphasis on robust methods is provided.
Assessing Bias: We compare data sets (drill methods, check assays, his-
torical data to name a few). The Fallacy of Averages will be discussed
and alternative methods introduced to measure and visualize bias.
FUNDAMENTALS OF MINERAL &
METALLURGICAL PROCESSING

Harrison Western Professor, Kroll Institute for Extractive Metallurgy,
George S. Ansell Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineer-
ing, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO and Dr. Courtney Young, QP,
Department Head and Lewis S. Prater Distinguished Professor, Metallur-
gical & Materials Engineering, Montana Tech, Butte, MT
This short course is open to anyone wanting to learn about mineral
processing and extractive metallurgy operations.It is particularly good
as a refresher or introductory course. In this regard, the course begins
with simple concepts such as sampling, analysis (mineralogical, chemical
and size), material balances and smelter schedules. It then introduces
attendees to processing methods and equipment, particularly those
utilized in the mining industry (but also the recycling industry as well).
Various unit operations are reviewed including comminution (crushing,
grinding, screening and classification), mineral separations (flotation,
magnetic, gravity and electrostatic), and metal production and purifica-
tion (hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy and electrometallurgy) as well as
environmental management (dewatering, tailings disposal, and waste
treatment for water, dust and air). Flowsheets of typical operations are
reviewed throughout with implications on flowsheet development.
Short Courses will fill
up quickly.

MODERN DRILLING SYSTEMS:
THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE
Course Organizers: Boart Longyear, Elko, NV and AMC, Salt Lake
City, UT
Cost: $150
Boart Longyear and AMC are jointly presenting a hands-on drilling short
course covering the following aspects: Surface Core Drilling, Reverse
Circulation Drilling, Mud properties and Solids Control (equipment will
be set up in the parking lot at the Nugget). In addition to how the drills
function, there will be experienced Operations personnel conducting
this class which allows the attendees to get questions answered that
may be beneficial to their day to day projects.
This short course is an introduction to obtaining subsurface information
by drilling. All drilling methods involve tradeoffs between sample quality
and cost. This course will cover the benefits and drawbacks of the
various methods. Topics will include types of samples obtained, relative
costs, environmental foot print, getting the most information out of the
hole, and basics of drill contracts. Also, the course will provide a state of
the art view of the technical side of what comprises a drilling fluid, what
properties and functions are desirable and possible, limitations which
may exist, and which fluid types are appropriate for drilling in different
geologic conditions. The course will discuss common fluid types used
in air drilling (RC and conventional), as well as coring and mud rotary
applications.
The course will be immediately useful to exploration geologists, drilling
contractors and other personnel responsible for the planning and man-
agement of mineral exploration drilling programs.

GROWTH COMPANIES
Chaired by: Richard L. Bedell, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer,
Renaissance Gold Inc., Reno, NV
Area of Interest - Business and Finance
The current recession in exploration and mining is unprecedented, yet
no matter how bad it gets there are always profitable mines. Growth
companies are fewer than in recent history but growth can still happen
despite the market. Major companies have had significant write downs
and M&A activity is more frequent. Exploration success has waned,
but is this due to budget cuts or foolish expenditures? Most of the
growth stories in exploration were due to higher levels of funding more
than three years ago. This session will look at the market and present
companies that are undergoing growth despite current challenges. Talks

RELATING TO YOUR PUBLIC IN A COMPLICATED WORLD
Chaired by: Adam Hawkins, President, Global External Relations, Phoe-
nix, AZ
Area of interest - Legislative & Public Affairs
Ignoring your community can cost millions in delays and litigation.
Across the globe, decision-makers are dialed into the public and react-
ing to mass support or opposition. Most modern mine developers un-
derstand the need to obtain the legal right to develop (permits, leases,
title, etc). The practices needed to obtain and maintain the buy-in and
support from key stakeholders (known as, social license) to develop and
sustain a project are often misunderstood and undervalued. So many
times, projects are developed without a clear understanding of these
important factors This technical session will arm you with the tools you
need to move support from your community in the right direction.
During the session, we discuss what social license is and how to obtain
and maintain it. We will also explore the intersection of legal and cor-
porate social responsibility with a discussion on trends in human and
indigenous rights laws, as well as voluntary initiatives that are shaping
modern day external relations in the mining industry.
This session also includes a section on quantifying social license activi-
ties to demonstrate how critical corporate social responsibility is to your
bottom line.

The good, the bad and the ugly. What did they get right? What did
they get wrong? Why is the good romanticized and the ugly used to
vilify us today?
Resurrecting the graveyards - replacing Dead Miners with live
ones. Redeveloping old mining districts and overcoming the chal-

Capitalizing on the good while avoiding the bad and the ugly. How
are we learning from their legacy to avoid their mistakes?

TECHNICAL SESSIONS
MORNING SESSIONS | FRIDAY DECEMBER 8
SESSION TIMES: 8:00 - 11:30 COFFEE BREAK 9:35 - 10:20
THE CURT EVERSON GREAT BASIN ~
PROSPECT GENERATION: WHOS BEEN DOING WHAT?
Chaired by: Bob Felder, President & CEO and Greg Hill, Vice President
Exploration, Kinetic Gold (US), Inc., Reno, NV
Area of Interest - Mineral Deposits, Geology & Exploration
For the past five years, the exploration and mining industry has expe-
rienced a pronounced downturn, which has resulted in a shift in focus
to more advanced projects with potential for near-term production.
A natural consequence of this shift has been a paucity of funding for
early-stage exploration. Despite these challenging circumstances, some
prospect generator companies have weathered the storm and have
been able to continue generating high-quality prospects, and in many
cases these prospects were acquired via staking claims on open ground.
This years session will feature prospect generator and other companies
who have taken advantage of increased opportunities created by the
down market, and will showcase some of the newer targets generated
during this period. Talks include:
Gold Mineralization under Acid Sulfate Alteration at the Silicon
Project, Bare Mountains District, Nevada, Dan Pace, Exploration
Manager, Renaissance Gold Inc., Reno, NV
Generation of New Drill Targets Through Reinterpretation of
Structure and Stratigraphy and at the Jupiter Property, Nye Coun-
ty, Nevada, Greg Hill, V.P. Exploration, Kinetic Gold Corp., Reno, NV
Discovery and Exploration of the Gravel Creek Silver-Gold Depos-
it, Elko County, Nevada, Odin Christensen, Consulting Geologist,
Western Exploration LLC, Reno, NV
New Insights on the Importance of Structure in a Carlin-style Gold
System, Golden Sunrise Project, Northern Egan Range, Nevada,
Doug Kreiner, Senior Geologist, Bronco Creek Exploration, Reno, NV
Drill Targets Based on Reinterpreting Mineralization Controls at
the Past-producing Carlin-style Quito Gold Property, Central Neva-
da, J.A. Kizis, Jr., President, Bravada Gold Corporation, Tucson, AZ
CHALLENGES, ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND OPPORTUNITIES IN
ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS ON ABANDONED
MINE LANDS
Chaired by: Ronald Breitmeyer, Assistant Professor of Geological
Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno, NV
Area of Interest - Environmental
There are an estimated 200,000 abandoned mine features in the state
of Nevada, and on the order of 100,000 more in other western states.
Those features include everything from minor prospect ground distur-
bances to mill sites and tailings disposal areas, generally classified as
physical safety hazards and/or environmental hazards. Of the 200,000
features, some of these may pose significant risks to human health or
the environment. There is considerable uncertainty about the environ-
mental risk factors posed by many abandoned mine lands (AML) due to
limited records and data available for many of these sites. Additionally,
given the number of sites likely to exist, there is a dearth of current site
characterization and investigation. The Nevada Abandoned Mine Lands
Environmental Team (NAMLET), led by the NDEP AML Program, is a
coalition of several state and federal agencies, members of the mining
industry, as well as non-profit organizations, and participants from the
Nevada System of Higher Education, with a common goal to formulate
ideas and solutions for characterizing and remediating environmental
risks posed by AML hazards. Abandoned mine sites also contain arti-
AEMAs 2016 Final Preregistration Brochure
facts and features important to local, national and world histories. As
such, balancing historical preservation and protection of human health
and the environment are important components of AML remediation
and reclamation.
Presentations and papers included in this session will focus on environ-
mental remediation/protection, and historical preservation issues asso-
ciated with abandoned mine sites that operated largely before environ-
mental regulatory frameworks were in place. Presentations and papers
addressing AML environmental accomplishments, challenges, and the
need for further study or research are encouraged for submission to this
session. Talks include:
AML Site Assessment, Investigation, and Prioritization Methods
and Strategies, Jeryl Gardner, Abandonded Mine Lands Program
Manager, Nevada Department of Environmental Protection, Carson
City, NV
Abandonded Mine Lands Initial File Research and Site Recon-
naissance in NV - Process and Challenges, Randy Miller, Principal
Engineer, Broadbent & Associates, Reno, NV
Environmental Evolution of the Perry Canyon Abandoned Mine
Land Since Implementation of Corrective Actions, Rachel Thomas,
Graduate Research Assistant, University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, NV
Arimetco Heap Leach Facilities - An Abandoned Mine Land within
the Yerington CERCLA Site, Chuck Zimmerman, Vice President,
Brown and Caldwell, Carson City, NV
Escaping Environmental Hell at a Multi-Party Mine Site in
Northern Nevada, Roy Thun, Managing Director & Founder, Bridge
Environmental, Santa Clarita, CA
LEGISLATIVE & REGULATORY AFFAIRS
Chaired by: Laura Skaer, Executive Director, American Exploration &
Mining Association, Spokane, WA
Area of Interest - Legislative & Public Affairs
Industry experts and congressional staff will offer their insights on key
legislative, regulatory and judicial issues facing the industry. Topics
to be discussed may include: Greater Sage-grouse; Waters of the U.S.
rulemaking; and what to expect in 2017. Topics will be narrowed prior
to the meeting. Talks include:
A Brief History of Environmental Mitigation Policy in the US -
From no net loss to the Sagebrush Sea, Bob Comer, Partner,
Norton Rose Fulbright, Denver, CO
Sage-grouse Litigation panel member, Steve Lechner, VP/Chief
Legal Officer, Mountain States Legal Foundation, Lakewood, CO

STUDENT POSTER CONTEST
The Student Poster Contest is designed to give young men and women the opportunity to present papers to the convention attendees. This years
contest will be judged on Wednesday December 7. Set up will take place on Tuesday December 6.

CONTEST DESCRIPTION
The contest is structured to simulate the presentation of a project or process to management by an engineer, geologist or metallurgist. The candi-
date will be judged on his/her ability to convey meaning and conviction that the work is significant and is of benefit to the minerals industry. The
contest provides an excellent opportunity for young people to meet leaders in the minerals industry and to develop communication skills with other
professionals who may not necessarily be skilled in the students particular discipline. We are accepting papers dealing with exploration, operations,
management, economics, reclamation and other subjects pertinent to the mining industry.
PRIZES TO BE AWARDED
Grand Prize ~ $350 - a $250 gift certificate from Miners Incorporated - donated by the Wray D. Farmin Family Fund and a check
