Course objectives
Objective of the course is to teach students how to describe and recognize minerals, rocks and structures typical for different genetic types of mineral deposits and familiarize them with using of analytical techniques and working methods used in exploration of mineral deposits.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the tudent will be able to identify and describe the minerals, rocks and textures typical for different genetic types of mineral resources as well as to use some of the devices in the prospection for minerals deposits.
