Full program description

Welcome to BRIMM Mining Education
at the University of British Columbia

World-class continuing education for mining professionals

A joint program from UBC BRIMM and Curtin University

The world’s top mining companies are expected to spend over USD$50 billion closing mines and managing legacy sites in the coming decades. Globally, the societies’ awareness and the communities’ expectations of successful mine closure are increasing and will directly impact the license to operate. In that context, the success of mine closures is no longer just about mitigating and remediating the brand and reputational risk at the lowest cost but also about maximizing long-term value. 

The complexity of delivering successful mine closure affects the broad range of stakeholders - directly involved and impacted, ranging from Traditional Owners and the Mining Company to Capital Markets and Investors. This complexity has resulted in the increasing demand for education and training needs across a vast range of competencies.
