Graduate Studies - Mineral Resource Engineering Program [Dalhousie University]

Mineral Resource Engineering concentrates on the technical, environmental and economic aspects of the extraction and processing of the earth's mineral resources. It has a strong industrial and research interest in underground and surface mining for coal, oil shales, metals, gold and industrial minerals, and in mineral processing. Studies in reservoir engineering, offshore drilling and production of oil and gas complement the Mineral Resource Engineering Program. Mineral Resource Engineering prepares engineers for a career in advanced mine design and planning, rock mechanics, ground control, processing techniques and drilling engineering, etc.
