MSc Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management at TU Bergakademie Freiberg

In order to continue to meet the global demand for mineral resources, it is necessary to drive forward their extraction in areas of the geosphere that are characterised by increased mining geological complexity and complex interaction with the environment and the social environment. Under these conditions, the primary objective remains to ensure maximum safety for the public and mining operations, to act in an ecologically and socially responsible manner and to utilise natural resources in the best possible way.
