Special short course arranged to educate participating students on the mining industry through active participation in activities identical to the everyday work of a mine geologist.
Goals:
1. Students should leave with an understanding of what a drill core is, the proper procedures for annotating or “logging” drill core, and how proper core logging can assist in mine development, ore control and mineral extraction.
2. To obtain a firm grasp on the everyday role of a mine geologist and their contribution to a mining venture.
3. To educate students about careers in geoscience.
