For its Wednesday, January 31, 2018, meeting, the Toronto Discussion Group of CIM’s Management and Economics Society is pleased to welcome:
David Robson, P.Eng., MBA
Senior Mine Engineer and Project Manager, RPA Inc.
who will deliver a presentation on:
What Does It Mean to Create Value in the Mining Industry?
Abstract: RPA Inc. is a group of technical professionals who have provided advice to the mining industry for over 30 years. During this time, RPA has grown into a highly respected organization regarded as the specialty firm of choice for resource and reserve work. Throughout this time, RPA has constantly revisited a key question: What does it mean to create value in the mining industry? It seems like a simple question, but the answer has eluded many mining executives and investors alike.
Using case examples, this presentation will identify the key steps in which value can be created – and destroyed – as a mining project evolves from grass roots exploration, through Mineral Resource identification, scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies, financing, permitting, construction, operation, closure and rehabilitation. The aim of the presentation is to inspire some lively debate around the key question: What does it mean to create value in the mining industry?
BIO: David Robson, P.Eng., MBA, is a Senior Mine Engineer and Project Manager with RPA. His roles at RPA include project management and technical advisory for a variety of global mining projects.
