This stream combines studies of resource and field geology with mining systems and estimation to effectively explore, evaluate and extract mineral resources.
What you'll learn
apply fundamental geological principles and concepts in theoretical, practical and vocational situations within the mining industry and resource sector, GC1
solve mineral and energy exploration, environmental and sustainability problems through creative thinking and the extrapolation, interpolation and analysis of geoscience information, GC2
collate, synthesise, and visualise geoscientific data sets using digital technologies, and communicate this geological information to industry and community stakeholders concisely and accurately using written, visual, and verbal means appropriate to the situation, GC3
recognise the finite nature of Earth resources, and the need to manage and mitigate social and environmental impacts of resource exploration and extraction for the wider community and the mining industry and resource sector, GC4
recognise the need for sustainable use of Earth resources, and value environmental, indigenous and other community perspectives on geological activities within the resource sector, GC5
collaborate with professionals across the minerals value chain, prioritise safety, and recognise the corporate and ethical need for accurate exploration results, GC6
