Overview

· Knowledge of basic concepts of mineral deposits such as, ore and gangue minerals, economic mineral associations.

· Knowledge of Mineral deposits in the subsurface environment, and the geochemical zoning, mineral deposited in different weathering zones. Understanding the processes of modeling and sampling of minerals and rocks.

· Knowledge of engineering economic analysis in ore exploration and exploitation.

· Interpretation of Geologic mapping, and Evaluation of prospects.

Intended learning outcomes

Outcomes of the course:

· The student links the minerals and ores that can be formed in the subsurface environments and weathering areas, as well as what is known as geochemical migration and what is referred to as geochemical anomalies.

• The student distinguishes between the different methods of sampling with different methods of extraction so that he can make different samples.

• The student draws conclusions from the methods of engineering economic analysis in the exploration and exploitation of ore and the interpretation of geological maps through laboratory activities. And find solutions to the environmental impact of open-pit mine exploration.

• The ability to work together through field work in terms of different sampling methods and how to write a geological report. And the ability to use the computer and the Internet in knowledge of what is known as modeling and what is related to surface mining methods.
