Course Objective:
- To familiarize the students with practical techniques of Ore mineral identification, ore reserve estimation.
Unit I
Ore Geology
Identification and description of various ores: iron ores, manganese ores, lead ores, zinc ores, copper ores, chrome ores and aluminum ores. Identification and description of non-metallic deposits: talc, magnesite, limestone, gypsum, asbestos, barite, beryl and coal.
Unit II
Geophysics and Applied Geology
Electrical resistivity problems: Wenner and Schlumberger method problems – seismic survey -Reflection and refraction – 2 and 3 layer problems. Preparation of panel diagrams. Preparation of weathering profile, RMR, RQD calculations.
Unit III
Remote Sensing
Interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite imageries. Stereoscopes and their applications in interpretation – Preparation of lithological and structural maps.
Unit IV
Ore Reserve Estimation
Surface and sub-surface deposits – Ore reserve estimation – ore assaying and reserve calculations.
Unit V
Geological Field Work
Recognition of geological structures such as faults, folds, joints, shear zones etc. in the field-Geological mapping in different geological terrains- Identification of Minerals, rocks and ores in the field site.- Report preparation and submission.
Course Outcome:
At the end of the course the students will have an understanding of prospecting techniques for ores and minerals, their interpretation and geological mapping.
