This course is designed to introduce students to the theory and practice of geometallurgy and the role of mineralogy in mine planning, ore processing, and mine development. Topics include spatial distribution and variability of minerals in ore deposits, mineral behavior and element deportment during ore processing, and industry practices in geometallurgical sampling, testing, materials characterization, and planning. The laboratory section introduces industrial methods of mineral characterization (including SEM, XRD, and MLA) and provides hands-on examination of mineral processing samples from various deposit types.
