Prerequisites
! G6060 Economic geology II &&( G5060 Economic geology I || G5061 Economic geology I )
There is important to have a knowledge of mineralogy and petrography, basic minerogenetic and petrologic processes, structure of the Earth and the Earth crust, plate tectonics, deformation in the Earth crust and fundamentals of stratigraphy and geochemistry. There is essential to know and understand topics of the course of Economic Geology I.
