Subject Description | The geological setting and genesis of major metalliferous deposits. Magmatic, magmatic hydrothermal, submarine hydrothermal and surficial deposits of major metalliferous and non-metallic resources will be integrated with fluid inclusions, stable isotope, petrographic and field studies. On completion of this subject, students should comprehend the wide variety of metalliferous-ore-forming processes. Students will have developed skills in interpreting ore deposits, and skills in exploration techniques based on ore-forming processes. |
Assessment | A 3-hour written examination; reports totalling up to 3000 words. |
