Introduction
Welcome to Unit 1 in which you will learn about Economics in Geology, ore deposits and associated geological applications in mining. From your knowledge that you have learnt in these following modules Minerals and Rocks, Petrology and SPACE in year two. In this module and specifically this Unit 1 will take you through mostly on economics, ore deposits and mining techniques and their importance to our everyday lives and the sector. Do you remember that there are different types of rocks and minerals in the world? From the knowledge of your MIRO 220, PETR 220, HADI 210, SPACE 210, for those who have done these modules, you learnt about different types of minerals and rocks formed in the earth crust, how they occur and how you can identify some of them, predict and make assessment for some of them in the nature of their occurrence.
