Course Description
- The course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts and processes relating to geochemistry with applications in ore exploration.
- It provides an introduction to method,technology, application conditions, design, implementation and interpretation of results from geochemical surveys and their use in predicting concealed deposits in the mineral exploration approach.
Who Should Attend ?
This course is for people with a basic to intermediate understanding of the principles of geochemical ore exploration techniques.
The course will serve as a refresher and as a way to integrate their specific knowledge into the broad technical aspects of the mineral exploration.
The course will be ideal for freshly graduated engineers, industry, government and student geologists and geophysicists.
