MINERAL DEPOSIT EVALUATION Weekly Outline for Semester BS-8 Introduction: The subject course “Mineral Deposit Evaluation Techniques” is meant for professional geologists having sound background of field geology, economic geology, mining geology as well as mineralogy. Teaching this subject not only refreshes the students mind but also make them professional geologists in advance. The recommended textbook “Mineral Deposit Evaluation- A Practical Approach by Alwyn E. Annels” is too heavy for the students to understand it fully, therefore, modifications have been made by integrating the subject with other related books such as the “ore deposit models”, notes, and multimedia presentation (power point as well as videos). This course will not only enhance the technical capabilities of the students in more practical ways, but also benefit them in their professional career. Here is the weekly schedule of the course to be taught in the Spring Semester 2009. Weekly schedule

MINERAL DEPOSIT EVALUATION Weekly Outline for Semester BS-8 Introduction: The subject course “Mineral Deposit Evaluation Techniques” is meant for professional geologists having sound background of field geology, economic geology, mining geology as well as mineralogy. Teaching this subject not only refreshes the students mind but also make them professional geologists in advance. The recommended textbook “Mineral Deposit Evaluation- A Practical Approach by Alwyn E. Annels” is too heavy for the students to understand it fully, therefore, modifications have been made by integrating the subject with other related books such as the “ore deposit models”, notes, and multimedia presentation (power point as well as videos). This course will not only enhance the technical capabilities of the students in more practical ways, but also benefit them in their professional career. Here is the weekly schedule of the course to be taught in the Spring Semester 2009. Weekly schedule
