It is a lightweight, easy to use, no images, and no pdf platform to make students’s lives easier.
.
Course Objectives:
This course is aimed at providing the necessary geological inputs required for a mining engineer. The components would help the mining engineering student to understand the identification of important minerals and rocks, strengths and weaknesses of rocks, physical and mechanical properties of rocks and the response of rocks to loading and excavation. The knowledge pertaining to the genesis of mineral deposits, mineral exploration, ore reserves estimation and mineral resources of India are of immense use in the mining engineering practice. A mining engineer should learn geology thoroughly since his profession would require him to know the methods of mining and different types of underground openings.
Course Outcomes:
Students will gain the skills to identify the geological problems, hazards, and phenomena occurring in the mining practice.
Students can understand the origin of mineral deposits, techniques of mineral exploration and estimation of mineral resources as outcome of this course.
