MNE504G - Structural Geology for Exploration and Mine Geologist
Course Description
This intensive course deals with the application of structural geology to mining and exploration geology. Diverse structural systems and styles of deformation influence the formation, preservation, and dispersal of mineral deposits and are examined in the context of local (e.g., veins, breccias, faults, slope stability), regional structural (e.g., fault systems), and tectonic evolution (e.g., origins of mineral trends/belts). This course includes lectures, in-class exercises, field trips, and mapping exercises, plus weekly readings, and discussions. Students are expected to prepare maps, field notes, cross sections, a report, and participate in discussions of the data and observations collected.
