About the course
This course provides an overview of the principles of classification and assessment of critical metals and minerals and their application globally, and specifically within the EU. The "peak metal" concept will feature. The supply of critical metals and minerals will be discussed. The mineralogy of critical metals, the metallogenetic context of present and near-future deposit types for critical metals and minerals, as well as deposit classification and distribution, will be covered. Problems surrounding substitution and recycling potential will be discussed.
