Prerequisites
Final state exam is based on compulsory courses. As fundamentals are overview of genesis of deposits and development of mineral-forming processes. Important part is knowledge of economic and environmental aspects of mining. Basic overview of world and regional sources in CR and their geological context are parts of required knowledge.

Course objectives
Student should be able to explain ore- and mineral-forming processes and basic economic terms of mineral deposits.
