Mineral deposits

Notions concerning the economics of primary resources and the history of mineral resources are addressed in the introduction. This training then consists of understanding the main metallogenic processes in connection with my geodynamic contexts. The notions of metallotects are detailed through the understanding (description, formation process) of the main exogenous and endogenous mineral deposits. The practical work allows you to deepen the specific mineralogy of metalliferous mineralization.

Provide a basis for understanding the endogenous and exogenous metallogenic processes that lead to the formation of mineral concentrations.

Training is complemented 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, and 4) identifying the indicators needed to support the prediction of a deposit.
