Question: where can i find investors for mining emeralds on my friend's mine located here in zambia? i live on the copperbelt of Zambia and am a mining engineer by profession working for a small mining cotracting company as contracts manager. My friend owns an emerald mine which he has been struggling to bring in production using traditional methods of mining. Now, he has reached a stage where with little investment emerald stones can be produced if some machinery is brought on the mine. It may not take two months of work to produce. Perhaps no more than $400,000 of investment.

Answer: I suggest you form a valid company, register to sell stock in the US, and use a service such as www.gensx.com or something similar to sell stock to small investors. If the payout is as good as it should be, you'll get investors fast.

Question: what is the scope of work of a chemical engineer in mining industry?

Answer: Analysis of mined product. Checking for quality and purity of product. As well as content (to determine other useful compounds). Extraction processes. Metalurgical analysis, for instance in the aluminum industry you must be able to provide a high quality product for aerospace applications. Especially for chemical milling of metals; the aluminum must be of a specific quality to be of use and certifiable quality. A chemical engineer working for the mining company would be able to determine this before soliciting a buyer with sub-standard materials. A chemical engineer will always find work; from mining to cosmetics, sanitation, any industry...

Question: How often do mining engineers work off site? I mean how often (or after how long) do they come back home to visit their family for a while then go back. Also, is there any mining engineer working in offices? or they all work in remote areas?

Answer: The Roster system for mining people varies between countries and depends on the base location for the person. At the moment in Australia a common roster is 9 days on 5 days off, or 2 weeks on/1 week off. In Indonesia the roster is generally around 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off. If an aussie is working in Africa, the roster may be 3 months on and 3 weeks off. Usually mining engineers working in the (head) office have already done their time working away and so have a more senior role. Some bigger organisations may have junior mining engineers working in their head office, but this would not be the norm.

Question: How do i become an Engineer? I want to be a weapons engineer, specifying in missiles when im older. im currently in a unorthadox gap year. because last year i did my GCSE's and i failed Physics got a D and in maths got C so colleges wont let me do A-levels in those subjects which are compulsary for any engineer. i have an obsession with engineering and its a dream of mine. So please help what should i do? is it possible to becom a weapons engineer without A-levels? thanks

Answer: Well, any engineer working for military faction/organization should be reliable and talented. If we hire any engineers, the military personel risk injuries, death or even diplomatic failure due to mechanical failure. Unless you are working for terrorist/freedom fighter factions, I doubt any engineers with Ds and Cs would be hired to military complex, let alone any other engineering companies. I suggest that you try to pull your grades up, and focus on studies instead of surfing online like here. There are experts in University who are more than capable of answering your question... so why look for source in unreliable yahoo answer? If you would bear with me, try to keep your options open. There is a difference between passion and career. Why are you obsessed with engineering? If you can't make the requirement for engineering, is there are options that are realistic goal? Personally, I chose to become engineer by abandoning my dream to become dentistry because I did not wanted to waste 10 years with no reasonable gunarantee of success. Don't get me wrong here. If you truly want to be an engineer, you should work hard to achieve it. Ask your counselors. Ask your professors and classmates who's getting a good mark. Research, and put your effort to make your dream a reality. If your marks are sufficient, make sure you apply for right Co-op program that are related to weapon design ans etc.
