CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
By the end of this course, participants should have a clear understanding of granitic soils, their geological attributes, and their role in hosting REEs. It will also help to develop a deep understanding of the geological processes that lead to the formation of granitic soils, the mineralogical characteristics of these soils, and the specific geological contexts that favor the occurrence of REEs within granitic soil environments.
Through this course the participants will also have a solid understanding of the prospecting techniques used to identify granitic soils with high potential for REE occurrences. They should be able to assess geological and geochemical data, interpret results from various surveys, and apply their knowledge to the selection of promising target areas for further exploration and mining activities.
They should also appreciate the significance of REEs in various industries and recognize the unique geological conditions that make granitic soils a promising target for REE exploration and mining. This foundation will be essential for the subsequent knowledge that delve into prospecting, extraction, and environmental considerations in granitic soil environments.
