Course Objective

The course aims to present and define contemporary methods and applications in exploration and evaluation of mineral resources, and define geographic and economic factors controlling these methods. Also, the most economic and contemporary mining methods on key underground resources and minerals, as well as the quality and useful-useless components of these minerals, modern enrichment operations, exploration and operation methods and their worldwide reserves are presented in this course.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Will be able to define th raw material deposit
2   Will be able to evaluate the raw madetial deposit
3   Will be able to solve geological problems related to raw material deposits
4   Will be able to use the software related to evaluation of raw material deposits
5   Will be able to cooperate with the geophysicst and mining engineers during evaluation of the raw material deposit
6   Will be able to make various scale maps of the mineral deposit
7   Will be able to estimate reserve-tenor of the mineral deposit
8   Will be able to decide on the operation method on the mineral deposit
