Fundamentals of thermobarogeochemical
The purpose of teaching the discipline is the study of thermobarogeochemical, students ' acquisition of fundamental knowledge about the nature and physico-chemical parameters of mineral-forming and ore-forming fluids involved in the formation of mineral deposits, obtaining practical skills in the use of fluid inclusions in the search, evaluation and exploration of industrially important accumulations of minerals in the earth's crust.
-
Bases of technology of processing of ores
The purpose of learning is getting the students knowledge about the technological properties of the main types of rocks and ores, and the methods of their processing with the purpose of extraction of valuable components and produce high-quality concentrates that meet the requirements of modern industry, with minimal losses of minerals. Tasks of the discipline. - familiarization with the basic technological properties of rocks and ores as well as the technological indicators of enrichment; - obtaining information about the main types and methods of ore concentration, based on their specific physico-mechanical properties and familiarization with auxiliary technological processes associated with enrichment; - the study of the principles of drawing up technological schemes of enrichment of the main types of minerals.
-
Testing of minerals
The main purpose of the development of this discipline is getting the students knowledge about the methods of testing various geological objects, which is the basis to determine the boundaries of ore bodies, and exploring quality mineral, i.e., determine its composition and properties, defining field of use, method of processing and economic importance. Objectives of learning: - learning principles, types and methods of testing of different geological objects; - introduction to the methodology of compiling primary and summary documentation in the process of testing; - acquisition of skills of drawing up of schemes of reduction of the samples and their preparation for analytical studies.

Geoecological problems of the exploration and development of mineral deposits
This discipline refers to the special discipline studied in the training of specialists in "Applied Geology". It is one of the most important disciplines which have a significant effect on the formation of professional knowledge and skills necessary for the modern geologist. The study of the discipline includes lectures, laboratory classes, independent work of students, control tests knowledge of current and intermediate attestation of the exam. The purpose of teaching of discipline - acquiring the necessary information about the impacts of exploration on the environment, modern methods of planning and management, and restoration of disturbed lands and reduce the negative impact of mining on the environment. Learning objectives of discipline: * to learn General information about the impact of the major types of mining activities on the environment; * to acquaint with basic methods of research and forecasts of the impact of mining on the environment; * to study the rational methods of mining with the use of protective measures aimed at reducing the negative impact of exploration; * obtain the necessary understanding of the legal framework for environmental protection in mining;
