Applied Structural Geology in Exploration and Mining

This training course which has been around for over 20 years, is continually updated to include new ideas and technologies. It addresses the foundational basics of structural geology through presentations and interactive exercises for the attendees. 

 

Who should attend?

  • All geologists interested in developing or refreshing their structural geology skills
  • University geology students

 

What topics will be covered?

  • Introduction to general concepts of structural geology and applications to mineral systems
  • Structural field and drill core mapping
  • 3D visualization and modelling
  • Structural analysis of fault and fold systems
  • Structural analysis of vein systems
  • Regional tectonic settings and case studies

 

What will attendees learn?

  • Applied structural geology
  • Mapping and logging best practices
  • 3-D modelling practices
  • Analysis of fault systems
  • Analysis of fold systems
  • Analysis of vein systems

Andrew Steiner

Post-Doctoral Fellow, MDRU-UBC

Andrew Steiner is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on the MDRU project: “Recognizing cryptic alteration and vectoring towards carbonate-hosted hydrothermal ore deposits.” His areas of expertise are in structural geology (particularly pertaining to veins, folds, and thrust systems), alteration in carbonate rocks, and hydrothermal fluid flow in sediment-hosted deposits. Andrew obtained his PhD in 2022 from the University of British Columbia, where he investigated geological controls on fluid flow pathways and gold deposition in the Nadaleen trend Carlin-type gold deposits in Yukon.
