Mineral reservoirs

Mineral deposits, exploration techniques, geostatistics, mining economics. The training is mainly focused on interventions by professionals (mining and quarrying). Two days of field work illustrate certain exploration methods, in particular through the study of uranium mineralization and gypsum.

Raise awareness of exploration and mining professions. Understand the issues involved in extracting metals (U, Ni, Mn, rare earths, etc.). Non-concessible resources: from exploration to production (visit to an operating quarry).
Acquire skills in 1) exploration strategies and techniques, 2) quarrying conditions and methods, and 3) the economic and social issues involved in exploiting a resource.
