Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
identify a mineral deposit of interest on the engineering's point of view;
assess the relevant parameters to be considered in developing a specific exploitation;
choose the mining method according to the deposit and short and long terms objectives;
have knowledge on the means to be used for exploitation;
identify the components of the production chain in open pit or underground mining;
dimension the mining machines to be used.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
problematic and challenges of mineral extraction all over the World; definition of the deposit on the mining engineer point of view: geometry, rock mechanics, and economy; methods of assessing the mining reserves; mining methods (open pit and underground) and comparison; open pit mining and quarrying: design, mining operations; underground mining methods: general concept, methods; visiting quarries and a mine museum.
Prior Experience
Fundamentals in sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry); geology to understand the deposits morphology as it influences the choice of the mining method.

I-GMIN-011 | The exam is weighted 100% of the total mark. It is organised into two parts without any documentation: a general question to be prepared in a form of a written dissertation (50%) and an oral presentation (50%). All students prepare the same general question for about one hour. The oral part consists in customised questions that deal with all the content of the course. Some asked questions are related to organised visits. Weight: 4 credits |
