Plan small mine operations

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Plan shaft location to meet design criteria

1.1. Access, interpret and apply compliance documentation relevant to the work activity

1.2. Plan location of access shaft on a virgin claim to avoid potential ore-bearing ground

1.3. Design and plan shaft to minimise impact on the environment

1.4. Plan location of access shaft on a virgin claim to allow effective location, organisation and access to other mine facilities

1.5. Establish location of a second means of access (secondary shaft) to allow most effective exit from the mine in emergency situations

1.6. If claim is previously mined, inspect conditions of existing shafts to determine the most appropriate access and secondary shafts

1.7. Ensure that the access shaft is located in the appropriate place in relation to the planned mine ventilation system

1.8. Plan layout and configuration of surface facilities in relation to access and secondary shaft

1.9. Record shaft location on the mine plan

2. Design and plan location of ventilation shafts or drill holes

2.1. Plan the mining sequence throughout the life of the mine to determine the location of ventilation shafts or drill holes

2.2. Design and determine the location of ventilation shafts for any proposed secondary ventilation system to deliver fresh air to all active drives

3. Design and plan mine workings

3.1. Design mine workings to facilitate minerals discovery

3.2. Design and plan the drive pattern, opening size and development sequence to best extract minerals and for mine ground stability

3.3. Design mine layout to maximise production and movement of materials to the surface

3.4. Determine room and pillar configuration and plot on the mine plan

4. Design and plan materials handling process and equipment

4.1. Design and plan the handling of waste material stored on the surface of the mine

4.2. Design and plan for the installation of hoisting systems and equipment to meet materials movement and compliance documentation

4.3. plan the system and method for the storage, transport and handling of hazardous materials and/or explosives

5. Develop the mine safety management plan

5.1. Develop the OHS policy for the mine's operations

5.2. Develop and document procedures and methods for the factors covered by the mine safety management plan

5.3. Design and develop document control documents and log book

5.4. Gain approval for the Mine Safety Management Plan from relevant authorities/agencies
