Course objectives
Economic geology I. is the basic course of minerogenetic processes and relevant questions of raw materials/industrial minerals. The principal aim is to understand the category of mineral deposit and its position in the human society and the natural environment. The main genetic aspects of all types of ore deposits, industrial minerals and fossil fuels are delineated.
Syllabus
  • 1. EG: historical aspects of the economic geology, its sources, subject, importance and target. 2. Fundamental terminology of the economic geology. 3. Deposit as an economic subject, economics and reserves. 4. Factors affecting the importance of deposits. 5. Metods of exploration and investigation of deposits, sources and indications. 6. Classification of deposits of raw materials. 6a. Genetic classification and mineral-forming processes. 7. Raw materials for metallurgy, other industrial metals and their main sources. 8. Construction and chemical industrial minerals and their main sources. 9. Energy resources. 10. Principal environmental problems associated with exploitation of deposits and their solutions.
