Geology and mining technology as a course provides an integrated understanding of the Earth's structure, materials, and the methods used to extract valuable resources. It explores the origin, composition, and distribution of minerals and rocks, as well as the processes that shape the Earth's surface over time. Students learn about different types of mineral deposits, their geological settings, and the techniques used in their identification and evaluation. The course also covers the principles and practices of mining engineering, including surface and underground mining methods, drilling and blasting, mine planning, and safety procedures. Emphasis is placed on the environmental impact of mining activities and the sustainable management of natural resources. Through both theoretical knowledge and practical applications, the course prepares students for careers in the mining industry, environmental consulting, and geological research.
