This newly redeveloped course is aimed at exploration geologists but will be equally useful for mining geologists. The course will cover the basics of geological mapping with some advanced features available for more experienced geologists. The mapping will be done in the world-class metallogenic province of Mount Isa and consists of mapping the geology, structure, and alteration around an undeveloped Cu-Au deposit.
The course is divided into 2 modules:
This course is not available as individual modules.
Only 12 places are available on this course – payment of your course fee is required on registration to secure a place.
Dr Ioan Sanislav, JCU
Three days of online teaching prior to heading to the field and putting things into practice:
Requirements: access to QGIS, basic skills using QGIS
Five days of field mapping in the Mount Isa region.
This will involve mapping a complexly deformed, metamorphosed, and altered area that contains developed and undeveloped Cu-Au±REE and U-REE mineralisation.
At the end of this course, you should be able to produce a geological map showing lithology, structure, and alteration which you can use to identify exploration targets and plan drilling.
