This in-person 2-day course is designed for geologists in mining, resource and exploration who are looking to build upon their structural data collection, interpretation, analytical, and/or 3D modelling skill set. The course objective is to provide participants with relevant examples of where and how structural geology has been applied in the real world and reinforced with Leapfrog Geo case study exercises. This course will be delivered in 8hr sessions for 2 days.
Instructors
- Jos Hantlemann, Senior Structural Geologist | SRK Canada
