Tomsk students won the bronze medal in the final of the CASE-IN championship

Students of the National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University took the third place in the field of "Geological Exploration" in the final of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" (included in the presidential platform "Russia — the land of opportunities").

5,596 students competed for the victory in the Student League of the Championship. This year, they got the opportunity to prove themselves in more industries. Among them are geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, digital atom, electric power industry and the new direction of "Project Engineering". 517 students from Russia and the Republic of Belarus met in the final final.

The task of the participants in the Exploration direction was to draft an assessment work on the most promising site selected as part of the semi-finals, with the definition of the types and volumes of work (desk, laboratory and analytical), allowing to reliably assess and calculate reserves. In addition, it was necessary to analyze the infrastructure of the work area and propose a list of potential investors. Also, one of the tasks of the case was to create a three-dimensional model of the site in the GGIS environment, including design mining operations.

The Amethyst team included TPU students studying in the field of Geology: Igor Karchevsky, Oleg Firstov, Mikhail Tsyplenko and Anna Lysenko.

"Based on a map of the territory with a description, we identified promising areas and chose the most attractive one — a section of a carbonatite body. According to it, we have carried out prospecting, appraisal and exploration work, assessed resources and reserves. Based on the data on the geographical location, taking into account the conjuncture of the metal market, the economic prospects of the site were assessed", — said the captain of the team Igor Karchevsky.

In addition, TPU has once again become the best in the organization of the championship.

"For the fourth time, the university was awarded the award of the Energy of Education competition for the successful organization and conduct of the qualifying stages.", — says Elena Vorontsova, the CASE-IN organizer at TPU.
