Know: Features of the emergence and development of mineral resource classification in different regions of the world, requirements for determining mineral reserves and resources of the state subsoil fund, requirements for determining reserves and resources in accordance with the UN Framework Classification of Energy and Mineral Reserves and Resources. Differences in the stages of geological study in domestic and international practice. Requirements for determining reserves and resources of the Committee for International Be able to: determine the complexity groups of the geological structure of individual subsoil areas and assess the reliability of geological information, determine the degree of geological and technical-economic study of subsoil areas, and justify the methods of prospecting, evaluation, and exploration work that are appropriate to carry out. Use modern international classifications of mineral reserves and resources.

Full-time form

1. Know the basic principles of reserve estimation and classification, statistical analysis, and mathematical methods in geology. 2. Be proficient in working with geological sections, large-scale maps and plans for estimating mineral reserves, spreadsheets, and other data sources.

The course introduces the main features of systematizing geological information about mineral reserves and classifying them into different classes, groups, and categories. The peculiarities of determining the reliability of estimates and the degree of geological study, the status of geological exploration projects, and the industrial significance of reserves are highlighted. The classifications of solid mineral reserves and hydrocarbon raw materials are considered separately. The features of applying the classifications of reserves by the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards CRIRSCO, International Framework Classification for Mineral Reserves and Resources (UNFC), SRE-PRMS, and others are studied. Students acquire practical skills in analyzing the results of geological exploration at various stages of subsoil development.

lectures, seminars and practical classes

The results of students' academic activities are assessed on a 100-point scale The final grade is given based on the results of the student's work throughout the semester, as the sum (simple or weighted) of points for systematic work during the semester, and the points obtained during the exam. Final assessment in the form of an exam: maximum score 40 points, cut-off score 24 points. During the exam, the student answers three theoretical questions. The exam is conducted in written form
