Prof. Dr. Maria Boni, GeoResources and Universities of Heidelberg, Naples Who should attend Intermediate course in a not commonly treated ore deposit type for geologists, economic geologists and mining engineers. Specific processes of weathering through geologic time are briefly introduced/repeated at the beginning of the course. Basic knowledge in economic geology as well as in geochemistry of supergene processes is useful. The course includes full 4 days of lectures and discussion on ore specimens. The course language is English. Optional field trip This course can be extended with a 3-4 day field trip to SW Sardinia (Italy), where supergene zinc deposits can be seen in outcrop. Fees Depending on course location and number of participants. Please contact info@georesources.de or boni@unina.it for a specific offer. Location Inhouse-course, GeoResources, Heidelberg or at specific location requested by client. Attendees Minimum 5, maximum 20. Dates Timing of inhouse course will be fixed according to client´s need. Time windows for optional field trip are mid-February to mid-June and mid-September to early November.
