Title: Practical Methods in Mineral Exploration
Location: SEG Course Center | Littleton, CO, USA
Website: Register online
This workshop will provide the participant with a solid introduction to practical methods applied in mineral exploration. Five days of lectures and class activities are followed by a one-day field trip to the Cripple Creek and Victor gold mine. Recently hired geoscientists and those seeking exposure to a wider range of deposit styles and exploration methods are the targeted audience. The curriculum includes reviews of mineral deposit models, geochemical exploration techniques, geophysical exploration methods, drilling and sample recovery methods, logging of drill core and cuttings, interpretation of rock alteration, QA/QC protocols, and integrated interpretation of multiple geotechnical data sets. Workshop presentations highlight case study applications in the presenters' areas of expertise, with a focus on "best work practices" for success in mineral exploration.
