Designing and reporting of results of geological works in economic geology 1300-OPDGZ4CW
Lectures are the link between the knowledge characterizing the mineral deposit as a natural object and methodological knowledge required in the development (creating) the documentation of the geological works - the designing and conducting of investigations aimed at identification of the geology, in particular prospecting for and exploration of mineral deposits. Lectures program includes basic methods of the performance of geological works with the aim of discovery and preliminary documentation of resources of mineral deposits. The detailed requirements for documentation of mineral deposits are discussed in relation to regulations and legal obligation of Polish Low. The lectures are especially helpful for those students wishing to work in the widely understood sector of mineral raw materials.
