About the workshop
The systematic incorporation of structural aspects to the mapping and interpretation of geological, geochemical and geophysical data at different scales is a fundamental piece for selecting the area to be explored and, ultimately, for the successful generation of exploration targets. The main objective of this course is to understand modern concepts of structural geology that can be applied to GIS to characterize and target mineral deposits. Practical sessions include techniques for interpreting remote sensing data, including magnetometry, seismic reflection, satellite imagery and digital elevation models. Special emphasis is placed on the ability to recognize, outline and understand, at different scales, the styles and types of fault and fracture associated with the emplacement and architecture of porphyry and epithermal systems.
This 1-day express course is intended for explorers who want to delve into a modern and practical approach to structural geology that integrates tectonic, geophysical, geochemical and metallogenic concepts for the vectorization of mineral deposits. The course includes digital and manual practical sessions on remote sensing interpretation, map and cross section construction, GIS spatial analysis and stereographic techniques.
Presenter
Matias Sanchez, PhD, MSc, P.Geo., is Managing Director and Principal Geologist at Fault Rocks Inc., specializing in structural geology, geophysical data interpretation, and GIS. He has over twenty years of experience working in the mineral exploration industry and in economic geology research projects. Since founding Fault Rocks Inc. in 2014, he has successfully completed over 60 consulting projects for major mining companies, as well as Junior explorers and research institutions. His experience includes nearly 20 ‘giant’ Andean porphyry copper deposits, and extensive mapping and interpretations in Yukon, Turkey, Arizona, Central America, Newfoundland, and the Dublin basin. He also provides training courses in structural geology and the interpretation of remotely sensed data to both industry and academia. Matias completed an MSc and PhD at the Fault Dynamics Research Group (FDRG) of Royal Holloway University of London and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) of the University of British Columbia. His role at Fault Rocks involves delivering tectono-metallogenic frameworks for project generation, conducting structural, geophysical and GIS analysis for target delineation, and performing oriented structural analysis for drill planning.
