This module builds on Mineral Deposit Geology (CSM3046 ) and Ore Deposit Geology (CSM M109) to provide a more in depth understanding of the nature and formation of ore mineral deposits. You will critically evaluate models for the formation of ore deposits with reference to data from case examples. Your understanding will be enhanced through detailed studies of mineral assemblages and textures in hand specimens, thin section and polished blocks. The module will develop skills for the study of ore mineral assemblages by reflected light microscopy. The module is not suitable for non-specialist students or interdisciplinary pathways. PRE- / CO-REQUISITE MODULES – Either Mineral Deposit Geology (CSM3046 ) as prerequisite, or Ore Deposit Geology (CSM M109) as co-requisite.
