DEMO | Managing Seismic Risk in Underground Metalliferous Mines Course

Hard rock mines in deep and high stress environments often require the use of seismic systems to enable operators to manage seismic risk posed to the workforce, the mining investment and the environment. Seismic data is also used in assessing the rock mass response to mining activities where source parameters are used in the interpretation of rock mass failure mechanisms, the calibration of numerical modelling, and the interpretation of failure mechanics of the rock mass.

This course is designed to introduce mine geotechnical engineers to basic mine seismology concepts and their application in mining. Geotechnical engineers who work on medium to high risk seismic mines would benefit most from this course.

This course commences at 8:00 AWST 17, November 2025.

Professional Development Hours

Participants in this event will be eligible for PD hours. The ACG can provide a certificate of attendance, post-event.

What to Expect:

• Guided walks in alpine-inspired settings to observe Kea in their natural habitats, led by bird experts.
• Discover the playful and clever behaviours of Kea through live demonstrations.
• Participate in a creative workshop to design your own Kea-inspired keepsake.
• Hear from conservationists about the challenges facing Kea and how we can help protect them.
• Take home a guide to creating a Kea-friendly environment to support their survival.

Why Attend?

Dive into the world of the Kea and discover why they are considered one of the most intelligent bird species in the world. This event combines fun, learning, and conservation, offering an opportunity to connect with nature and gain a deeper appreciation for New Zealand’s unique wildlife.

Be part of the effort to preserve the Kea’s legacy while enjoying an unforgettable day in the heart of Aotearoa’s wild beauty!
