The Copper 360 School of Mining, which announced the development of the training facility in August, has launched its first set of courses at the Concordia operation in the Northern Cape, which are aimed at nurturing human capital in anticipation of an expected provincial minerals development surge. The school’s first courses are unaccredited and Copper 360 needs-based, but on the near-term horizon are accredited courses as well as diploma and degree fields of study, including an association with the Camborne School of Mines in the United Kingdom.
