Course Objectives:
The objective of the course is to acquire knowledge about geological parameters of mineral deposits, basics of methodology, technical means and systems of prospecting and exploration, documenting results of prospecting and exploration of mineral deposits, as well as getting theoretical knowledge related to the sampling of mineral raw materials. |
Learning Outcomes:
Learning the methods of prospecting and exploring deposits of solid mineral resources, technical means and systems of exploration, documenting exploration and modeling the results of the research, as well as getting theoretical and practical knowledge related to the preparation of geological documentation on mines and sampling of mineral raw materials. |
