The Geology Exploration Economics and Environment training belongs to the core program section, which deals with the concepts of mineral sources on earth that have broad components. Conceptualization of ore formation linked to earth processes at different scales, the similarity between the evolution of the crust and different deposit types throughout geologic ages, basic processes like magmatism, sedimentation, weathering/erosion, fluid activity, and the form of the resulting deposits.

Have a working understanding of the concepts of ore geology in mineral exploration, case studies of the discovery of some world-class deposits, evaluation of mineral resources and international trade, policies, and natural resource pricing. Prof. M.K. Panigrahi explains this certification course.
