Mineralogy, Economic Geology, Ore Genesis and Mineral Exploration The more tangible benefits of my research have been a deeper insight into microanalysis of ore minerals and ore fluid inclusions. During my work on the Ph.D. project, I have grown to admire the role of team work and have access to several well-equipped laboratories in empowering my research. In fact, I felt excited about the potential for new research points on the poorly studied, abandoned mineral resources in the Egyptian desert.
