Short course description
(intramural studies, 1st cycle of higher education)
Course objectives:
Within a framework of course: genesis and classifications of deposits,
criteria of deposits value assessment, , form and structure of deposits,
processes of form a deposits, mineral resources of deposits in Poland and
in the World, are discussed. Subject matter is completed by content with
special meaning, which aim is get acquainted of student with character of
work in geological department in underground hard coal mine.
