Course Objectives:
The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge about methods, technical means and systems of exploration of deposits of solid mineral raw materials, designing operations and documenting research of various morphogenetic types of mineralisation. |
Learning Outcomes:
Getting specific knowledge in the field of exploration of selected mineral resources, theoretical and practical knowledge related to the planning of sampling, control of taking and analyzing the samples, classification and record of mineral reserves, conducting additional geological exploration. |
Content:
