Goals The main objectives of this lesson are the formation of mineral deposits, their relationship with side rocks, physicochemical conditions, alterations, pre-exploration and provision of a deposit, physicochemical conditions, alterations, pre-exploration and provision of a deposit
Course Content Mineral deposit and ore occurrence, Niggli diagram and magmatic phases, Telescoping, Zonalite, Mineral fluids and their movements, Liquid magmatic, pegmatitic, pneumo-matolithic and hydrothermal deposits. Exogenous phenomena and related deposits (clastic, residual and sedimentary deposits, oxidation-cementation zone enrichment), Plate tectonics and mineral deposits, Metallogenic provence and metallogenesis, Metallic minerals (Chromium, platinum, copper, nickel, cobalt, iron, manganese, tin, wolfram, molybdenum, lead, zinc, antimony mercury, gold, silver aluminum), Evaluation of mineral deposits
Learning Outcomes 1) Defines rock formation and effective processes.
2) Defines the concepts of mineral deposits and occurrence
3) Establishes the causal relationship between geological events and ore deposit formation
