What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in crafting field sampling plans, sample preparation and validation, and choosing optimal analytical techniques like XRF, ICP-MS, and microprobe. Master interpreting igneous petrology, element trends, REE patterns, and isotopes, then create compelling maps, diagrams, and reports to evaluate mineralisation prospects confidently.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design effective field sampling strategies including fresh rock selection, quality controls, and thorough records.
- Utilise major and trace element analysis to categorise magmas and monitor differentiation processes.
- Construct and analyse Harker diagrams, REE patterns, and spider plots for rapid magmatic interpretations.
- Apply trace elements and isotopes to deduce magma origins, mixing events, and contamination influences.
- Produce clear geochemical reports that connect petrology to mineralisation opportunities.
