Summary
Significance of the mineral raw materials for the state economy. Terms mineral
deposit, raw mineral materials and factors which have influence on their
significance. Mineralogical and petrographical composition of the mineral deposits.
Classification of the mineral deposits and their morphology.Geological conditions of
the origin of the mineral deposits. Origin of the magmatic deposits, pegmatites,
carbonatites, contact metasomatic deposits, greisenic deposits, porphyry deposits,
hydrothermal deposits, hydrogenic deposits, sublimates, hydrothermal-
sedimentary deposits, weathering deposits. Sedimentary ( mechanical, chemical,
biogenic) deposits and metamorphogenic deposits. Industrial types of the ore,
industrial minerals, energy resources and hydrominerals and gases deposits.
World resources of the main mineral raw materials and their main world
producers. Summary of the mineral deposits of the Czech Republic. World mineral
markets, mineral pricing and the factors which have influence on the mineral
pricing. Predictions of the consumption and output of the main mineral raw
materials in the Czech Republic.
