ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	Lectures and laboratories are aimed at students with knowledge of geology, dynamic geology, mineralogy, geochemistry, tectonics, sedimentology, petrology, geophysics as well as historical and regional geology. It is advisable for students to participate in the field course of geology of the deposits and the drilling course.
Short description:	Lectures include: a discussion on geological setting and mining of mineral resources occurring in Poland. Specific subjects are presented on the background of the regional geological units of Poland. There are discussed deposits of energetic, chemical, metallic and rock raw materials.
Full description:	During the lecture, students learn about geological units of Poland in the respect of the various mineral deposits. The lecture begins with a summary of the history of exploration and exploitation of mineral resources of Poland as well as the basic terms used during the lecture are defined (2hh). Next, are regional geological units of Poland are discussed in the respect of mineral deposits occurence (2h). Then, various raw materials deposits of Poland are presented, in the following order: energetic (6h), chemical (4h), metallic (6h), rock (6h). Finally, the materials that do not fall into these categories are presented, e.g. precious stones deposits (2h). In this part, the course also deals with the construction of the deposits on the basis of specific examples. Last meeting is devoted to reflection on the prospects for exploration and discovery of the new mineral deposits in Poland.

Learning outcomes:	After completion of lectures and laboratories student has knowledge on the mineral resources of Poland. Student knows the geological setting and mineral composition of the most important Polish deposits as well as their location within regional units. Student is able to recognize and describe the processes that have led to the formation of Polish mineral deposits.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	The lecture ends with a written exam in the test form. In order to get a passing grade student should get 51% of the maximum number of points.
Practical placement:	(in Polish) brak
