Abstract(s)

ABSTRACT: The PanAfGeo cooperation project between European and African geological surveys covers a wide range of raw material issues, from mineral resources assessment, artisanal and small scale mining to geohazards and environmental management of mines. In the projected third phase of the project, PanAfGeo Plus, the relevance of raw material topics is expected to be even greater. The main task of the Project is to organise training courses for young employees of African geological surveys, in which not only textbook geological knowledge is transferred, but a great deal of emphasis is placed on the protection of mineral deposits, the application of best available practices in both mineral exploration and exploitation and licensing principles.
