What will I learn?
This Mining Prospecting Course provides practical skills to plan and execute efficient, reliable reconnaissance programmes. Learners will design soil, rock, and stream-sediment sampling plans, manage chain-of-custody, and implement QA/QC protocols. The course covers efficient field mapping, structural measurements, and mineral identification, while integrating regional geology, remote sensing, safety measures, and environmental best practices to prioritise and justify drill-ready exploration targets.
