Prerequisites
( G5061k Economic geology I || G5061 Economic geology I )
There is important to have a knowledge of mineralogy and petrography, basic minerogenetic and petrologic processes, structure of the Earth and the Earth crust, plate tectonics, deformation in the Earth crust and fundamentals of stratigraphy and geochemistry. There is essential to know and understand topics of the course of Economic Geology I.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives
Distinguish of mineral processes of all genetic types of deposits, categorize their geotectonic position and evaluate of geological structure of deposits, analyse of element and mineral assemblage are basic skils, debate of practical and economic importance of raw materials and examples in the Czech Republic and in the world as well are common skills.
Learning outcomes
Student is able: - identify principal signs of deposit-forming processes - explain an application of principal exploration methods - analyze and discuss modern trends in exploitation of raw materials - describe most important economic criteria for exploitation of mineral reserves
