Mineral research and site modelling

The material testing workshop of the University of Miskolc, equipped with a unique instrument park, plays a decisive role in the geological research of ore and non-metallic mineral raw material deposits and indications. Research is carried out in the fields of site model creation and geological interpretation, using best practices with innovative techniques, building on the expertise of the staff with modern analytical instruments, and extending to robotic geological research and sensor technology in the field of raw material research and instrument development. As a member of a research consortium, we have access to unique research technologies in Europe, such as UNEXUP, which is capable of mapping and in situ material analysis of cavities filled with groundwater such as flooded mining areas, caves, or karst watercourses.
