Applied Structural and

Field Geology
Industry Short Course
14 - 25 July 2014
There is a large step between learning structural
geology and effectively applying it to problems facing the
mineral industry. This course aims to bridge that gap.

The course is very practical and highly interactive. The main focus is on marrying the
understanding of structures, fluid flow and alteration in PRACTICAL geometrical analysis of
mineral systems from drill core and outcrop to the regional scale with the intent of improved
resource delineation and targeting.
Participants will leave with an increased confidence in applying structural geology to their work
environment. The course comprises alternating sessions of brief lectures and practical exercises
& case studies from world class mineralization systems. Moreover, the course gives participants
a snapshot of the future, how advanced process modelling and computer vision are shaping
the way structural geology is effectively applied to exploration and mining problems. The course
notes are extensive and will serve as an ongoing reference manual for participants.
MODULE ONE Applied Structural Geology in Mining and Mineral Exploration
3 days CET Staff (TBC)
What sort of structural features do you need to recognize and record in mineral exploration and
how can you interpret this data to help target ore bodies? This 3-day module will help answer
these questions. The module provides an introduction to the principles of structural geology with
a focus on mineral exploration from mine to regional scale. Illustrated with examples from real
deposits, topics include: analysis of folded rocks, faults and fault systems, regional structural and
tectonic environments, tectonic styles and their geophysical expression. The module comprises
alternating sessions of lectures and practical exercises.

MODULE TWO Advanced Structural Geology for Mineral Exploration and Mining
2 days CET Staff (TBC)
This module covers advanced brittle processes. Topics include: controls that different faults have
on ore shoot geometry within an ore body, controls on the slip direction of a reactivated fault in
3D, calculation of slip vectors on faults using striation, extension vein and other data. This will also
highlight field data required to undertake such analyses.

MODULE THREE Applied Structural Geology and Field Mapping (Field Excursion)
7 days CET Staff with assistance from local onsite industry professionals.
This 7-day field excursion to the world class Au and Ni district of the Kalgoorlie terrain of Western
Australia will center on the practical application of structural mapping to the mineral exploration
and mining industry. The module involves a series of field exercises designed to: 1) demonstrate
what structural features to map and how to recognise them in the field (the main thrust of the
course); 2) show how to integrate field structural observations with regional geological and
geophysical data sets; 3) illustrate how to approach mine-scale mapping; and 4) demonstrate
how to integrate structural field observations with an understanding of mineral systems in mine
to regional scale exploration. Module participants should come away from the excursion with a
greatly increased mapping ability, and confidence in applying this to problems faced in the mining
and exploration industry.

This course will run over a series of 3-modules, with industry attendees able to enrol in these
individually or as a 3-module course. Module-3 costs include accommodation, transport, breakfast,
lunch and dinner.
