Structural geology is an important factor in the formation and post-mineralization modification of nearly all ore deposits. Structural geology has an impact at all scales, from regional patterns to individual ore bodies. Understanding the structural geology of your project provides a foundation for successful exploration, resource definition and estimation, and effective and safe extraction.
This one-day applied structural geology workshop will equip you with the tools and confidence to apply structural geology effectively and add value to your projects, from regional grassroots exploration to mine-scale 3D modeling.
The workshop:
- Is practical and highly interactive;
- Is presented by experienced practitioners who know how to simplify the key messages . and provide you with a workable, practical toolkit for applying structural geology to all stages of exploration and mining;
- Past versions have been presented to over 3000 geologists world-wide; and
- Comprises alternating session of practical exercises, case studies, and brief presentations all with real-world tools that participants can easily learn and apply to their exploration and (or) mine properties.
Course Outline
