Structure, Mapping and Drilling
Applied Mining Geology
Level 7 – Geology Graduates
Courses Offered
Geological Structures
Who should attend?
This course is one of three similar courses that have been written to assist new Geology Graduates with an application of the theory and knowledge gained at university. As part of their graduate development programme, this particular course will help the Graduate understand the significance of geological structures to the mining operation and how they must be mapped, recorded, plotted and interpreted as a matter of routine at the mining operation.
Course outcomes.
On completion of the course, the candidate will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the principle geological structures and their characteristics
- Plan and prepare to map geological structures.
- Map and record the important features of geological structures.
- Plot and interpret information recorded from geological structures.
- Communicate the acquired information.
- Entry Requirements BSc Geology Degree.
Course Duration.
5 days
Geological Mapping
Who should attend?
This course is aimed at assisting new Geology Graduates with the application of the theory and knowledge gained at tertiary institutions. As part of their graduate development programme, this particular course will help the Graduate with geological mapping and plotting as carried out and required at the mining operation.
Course outcomes.
On completion of the course, the candidate will be able to:
- Demonstrate the understanding required to undertake geological mapping.
- Plan and prepare to undertake a geological mapping exercise.
- Carry out the data acquisition during a geological mapping exercise.
- Plot and document the geological data recorded during the geological mapping exercise.
- Interpret the data.
- Communicate the information.
Entry Requirements BSc Geology Degree.
Course Duration.
5 days
Geological Drilling
Who should attend?
This course is one of three courses that have been developed as part of a structured training programme and matched to a clear Career Pathway. The course is aimed at providing the recently graduated geologist with a fundamental understanding of Geological Drilling – routine supervision, borehole logging and sampling – as required of a young professional operating on a typical Witwatersrand gold mine. The training material can be applied to other ore deposits where borehole drilling is also practised. The course will focus predominantly on underground diamond drilling.
Course outcomes.
On completion of the course, the learner will be able to successfully demonstrate:
- An understanding required to supervise geological drilling and conduct borehole layouts.
- Plan and prepare for borehole drilling.
- Carry out routine drilling supervision as well as borehole logging and sampling.
- Plot and document the geological information recorded during routine borehole drilling, logging and sampling.
- Communicate the obtained information.
Entry Requirements BSc Geology Degree.
Course Duration.
5 days
