Mineral Resource Engineering

Mineral Resource Engineering at the 2019 Dalhousie Engineering Capstone Conference

Mineral resource engineers develop economically and environmentally responsible ways of extracting and processing minerals from the Earth. Mineral resource engineers evaluate the economics of mineral deposits; develop plans for surface mines, roadways and tunnels; design underground mine plants and ventilation systems; ensure mine safety and environmental protection; and develop innovative mine technology.

The 2019 posters presenting mineral resource engineering capstone projects can be seen below.
