The fee includes food at breaks, workbook, and PDH certificate
Course Content is based on the premise that an understanding of mineralizing processes is important in developing predictive models leading to exploration strategies. Course will include a review of the nuclear energy industry and the nuclear cycle. The Distribution, geology and mineralogy of a wide range of types of uranium deposits will be discussed, including quartz pebble conglomerate, unconformity-related, sandstone-hosted, vein-type, breccia pipe, high grade metamorphic, magmatic deposits associated with alkalic plutons and pegmatites, contact metamorphic, volcanogenic, calcrete, black shale and phosphorite-hosted occurrences. Emphasis will be placed on structural, lithologic and geochemical controls important in their formation. The source of uranium and associated elements, the source of mineralizing fluids, and the mechanisms of transport and deposition of uranium and associated metals will be discussed. The role of various structural, lithologic and geochemical traps will be discussed in the context of understanding processes responsible for creating metal concentrations. Discussion will include the importance of various geologic structures serving as fluid conduits and mineral depositories, and the role of geochemical traps such as redox interfaces, for the precipitation of uranium and associated elements.
