Current theories and ideas about formation and interpretation of different type of mineral deposits. Geological conditions and features of formation of magmatic and hydrothermal type ore deposits. Weathering, supergene enrichment and formation features of near surface deposits. Clastic sedimentation and placer deposits. Chemical sedimentation and ore formation. Analyze current ideas about formation features of different types of ore deposits, as well as geological papers published in current periodicals in English with the following preparation of a brief summary. Prepare a presentation in English about different type of ore minerals formation using computer technology and acquire the ability to present a presentation to the audience

Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of ore minerals formation, as well as being able to analyze the principles of genetic type classification of ore minerals.

To introduce students with general principles and concepts of the current theory of ore formation with a discussion about main genetic types of deposits, processes and geodynamic conditions which are characteristic of their formation as well as methods of current research which are widely used in geological practice for solving the problems of their genesis.

Form of student evaluation: - semester grading: 1. Control test – (min - 6, max - 10 grades) 2. Control test – (min - 6, max - 10 grades) 3. Presentations – ( min - 38, max - 60 grades) - final assessment (modular test) in form of the written test (min - 12 , max - 20 grades) Final evaluation is in the form of modular test (total score of discipline (maximum 100 grades) is defined as the sum for the systematic work during the semester). The final evaluation is based on the results of the student's work throughout the semester. For admission to the final grading, it is obligatory: 1) to pass two control tests; 2) to prepare six oral reports, which can be presented in the form of presentations and abstracts. The final grading is carried out in the form of a written modular test.
