Course Objective

This is a specialized degree in economic geology designed to update the knowledge and skills required by geoscientists for the exploration and exploitation of polymetallic ore deposits.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Following the completion of this course, students will; have a broad, integrated knowledge of polymetallic ore deposits.
2   use the modern methods of geology in understanding of polymetallic mineralisation
3   define lithological, tectonic, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics between different types of polymetallic ore deposits
4   recognise the structural and textural features in the field
5   categorize the polymetallic ore deposits according to different geological and geochemical criters
