Course Objective

By the conclusion of the course, students understand more specifically how to identify and classify ore deposits and collaborate with geologists during either in open pit or in underground operations.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Collaborate with geologists during either in open pit or in underground operations
2	Categorize the ore deposits according to different geological and geochemical criters
3	Define basicly the mineralogical features between different types of ore deposits.
4	Assess the geological controls in ore deposit environment
5	Identify the ore minerals in deposit
