MA/MS in Mineral Exploration and Resource Management

The Master of Mineral Exploration and Resource Management combines advanced technical training in mineral exploration and mining with business and management expertise. Students learn to interpret the geological features of different mineral deposit types, select appropriate exploration methods, evaluate mining options, estimate the value of mineral assets, apply economic concepts to exploration and mining funding decisions, and work within relevant regulatory frameworks. The curriculum emphasizes real-world deliverables built around case studies and exploration-oriented software, so that students develop a professional portfolio alongside their coursework. The program is delivered fully online in an asynchronous format and normally takes one year of full-time study to complete, or two to three years part-time. Admission is offered for the Fall and Winter terms. Applicants are expected to have a background equivalent to the Geoscientists Canada knowledge requirements. Graduates are prepared for technical and management roles across the mineral exploration and mining industry.
