Mineral & Energy Exploration

In this option, students specialize in the exploration for, and environmentally sound and sustainable extraction of, mineral and energy resources from sub-surface deposits. As you may know, Canada is an acknowledged world leader in the understanding and detection of the various types of geological resources (e.g. base and precious metals, construction materials, coal, oil and gas) that are important to our society. Our graduates have undertaken successful and multidisciplinary careers in the mineral industries of this and other countries.
