Description
This course is designed by Dr. Zakhar Karly for advanced students of Earth Sciences, such as PhD students, Postdocs, Researchers, and advanced Master students, during which participants will have the opportunity to independently work with modern exploration and mining GIS products, such as Global Mapper Pro, IoGas, Micromine, and Leapfrog Geo. In a practical project closely related to a real-world site, during the course, we will evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches to exploration and various methods of assessing the geological site.
The primary objective of this course is to demonstrate to students the streamlined process of creating a comprehensive resource model of an ore body. By utilizing algorithms and software, participants will gain insights into how to integrate geological, geophysical, and other pertinent data to develop a detailed understanding of the deposit's characteristics, including its size, shape, and grade distribution. The resource model will serve as a critical foundation for making well-informed decisions regarding mining operations and future development plans.
Resource assessment involves analyzing and understanding various aspects of the same object and is the result of collaboration among multiple disciplines. The exploration and evaluation of natural resources such as ore deposits, oil, and gas require expertise in the following areas Geology, Geophysics, Geodesy, Mining, Economics, Law and other. This course emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of resource assessment. Collective participation and coordination among various specialists enable a more thorough and precise evaluation of potential resources and associated risks during their development.
By the end of the course, participants will have gained valuable skills and insights into using algorithms and software in exploration for raw materials. This experience offers a great opportunity to feel like a part of the management of a mining enterprise, understand the principles of evaluating geological assets, and possibly choose a future career path as a specialist in this field.
