Geometallurgy 214 (GMT611S) is a core course to be completed in the first semester of the second year of study. The aim of the course is to equip students with basic knowledge and skills to develop and optimise  flowsheet  development to improve mineral recovery.

The course will enable students to function as civil engineering technicians with geotechnical engineering skills. They will be able to analyze soil and ground composition and foundation requirements; as well as design and select geotechnical materials using properties of the geotechnical materials obtained from the soil tests.

This course aims to give a practical training in the use of a geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing data for natural resources management and research purposes.

The course is designed to enable students to use modelling and Python programming to build GIS tools that automate the solving of geographical problems from a coding perspective.
