optional tutorium/ggf. Tutorium

This introductory module on ore deposits presents ideas and information on genesis, mineralogy, and geochemistry of magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic and sedimentary deposits of metallic raw materials. Lecture/Vorlesung (2 SWS): Ore Deposits

The scientific methods in the study of ore deposits, especially reflected light microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and electron microprobe analytics, will be explored during handson exercises. The course includes also practical aspects of exploration techniques, calculation of reserves and sampling of ore deposits. Tutorial/Übung (2 SWS): reflected light microscopy

The ability to understand the important types of ore deposits, their formation and mineralogical composition. The capacity to be able to apply the necessary techniques (light microscopy, XRD, EMP) to the study of ore deposits, critically evaluate the data, and recognize their role in exploration. The skill of sampling of an ore body, sample preparation for the analytical work and calculation of reserves of an ore body.

Regular participation in the discussions and laboratory work.
