Short description:	The lecture explains how, from a geochemical perspective, ore mineralization processes take place under variable geological conditions. Their thermodynamics and and kinetics. The lecture is a supplement to, and an expansion of the information provided in the 3-year lecture „Mineral deposit geology”.
Full description:	The lecture presents the role of geochemistry as a sub-category of geology and chemistry, and applies it to determine the genesis of ore mineralization and to its exploration and prospecting. Particularly it answers the questions: How certain processes can lead to the mineralization of useful-grade mineral deposits. The first few lectures are used to show the chemical and physical basics that are important to geological processes, taking into account the basics of thermodynamic and kinetic processes. A discussion of particular geological-ore mineralization environments and geochemical processes, which are significant to the creation of mineral deposits It is estimated that it requires a minimum of 75 hours to get a firm grasp of the subject.

Learning outcomes:	Upon passing the subject, the student will be able to analyze collected research material on his/ her own, pertaining to a potential mineral deposit. The student will be able to determine the genetic model and geological processes that lead to the creation of the mineral deposit. He/ she will properly define processes, is capable to determine the origins of mineral fluids, their temperature and approximate composition.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	During an oral exam the student chooses 3 of approximately 70 possible questions. An understanding of geochemical processes leading to the creation of mineral deposits in basic geologic settings, according to the geotectonic model.
Practical placement:	none
