Mineral lodgings

The introduction covers concepts relating to the economics of primary resources and the history of mineral resources. The course then moves on to examining the main metallogenic processes in relation to geodynamic contexts. The concepts of metallotectics are explained in detail through an understanding (description, formation processes) of the main exogenous and endogenous mineral deposits. Practical work allows students to deepen their knowledge of the specific mineralogy of metal-bearing mineralizations.

Provide the basis of knowledge on endogenous and exogenous metallogenic processes that lead to the formation of mineral concentrations.

The training is supplemented by fieldwork aimed at 1) acquiring the basic principles of geological prospecting, 2) identifying and defining the architecture of a mineral deposit, 3) constraining the processes and timing of mineralization formation, and 4) identifying indicators that can be used to support the prediction of a deposit.

All courses from the first semester of the GER master's program.
