The practical skills in the diagnosis of ore minerals, structural and textural features of ores by optical methods will be given.

Distance form

Students have to take a course of "Basic of Petrography", "Mineralogy and crystallography".

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the classification of ore minerals and methods of their diagnosis in reflected light. Students will get general theoretical knowledge of crystal optics, optical, physical and chemical properties of major ore minerals and equipment for their study. Laboratory classes will increase students' practical skills in the diagnosis of ore minerals, which can be used to determine the mineral composition, texture and structure peculiarities, quality and mineral composition of concentrates and intermediate products of processing, to help identify ways of complex uses of ores and develop of waste-free technologies, increase extraction quality.

Lectures, practical and independent work of the student

The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. The total grade is based on the results of the student's work throughout the semester in laboratory work and final assessment. The final score consists of points for systematic work during the semester and points obtained as a result of the final assessment in the test form. For laboratory work, the student may receive a maximum of 80 points (a minimum 48). The final evaluation will be conducted as the test: a maximum score of 20 points, a marginal score of 12 points. During the test, the student must show a high level of theoretical knowledge regarding the classification, physical and optical properties of main ore minerals and practical skills in their diagnosis. Final test assessment is not obligatory, if you refuse to participate in this form of assessment, then you will not receive the appropriate points to the final score.
