| Main Body | This 2-day short-course explores the uses and immediate applications of geochemical data processing to the mineral exploration industry. A variety of tools that can be used at all stages of exploration, from resources estimates to vectoring in the greenfields environment will be explained. This is also a chance for students to gain valuable expertise that will serve them both in research and in employment opportunities. The course will be in lecture format with problems that can be applied to a range of environments. If you are looking to increase the value of geochemical data, this course is a must. Enrolment may be restricted depending on the number of applicants. |
