Algeria is very rich in mineral raw materials, a large part of which remains to be discovered. The mining industry has played and still plays an important role in the country's economy. The exploitation of deposits of mineral raw materials is the basis of future economic development in our country. Algeria has many metalliferous deposits such as clays, hematites, lead -Zinc, gold, etc... The territory also harbors precious mineral occurrences such as gold and diamonds, some polymetallic indices (Zn, Pb, Ca, Ag, As, Ni, etc.), rare earths, platinoids and uranium. The deposits in operation are phosphates, limestone, crystalline dolomites and various building materials. The mining sector represents an important part of the country's economic development.  The exploitation of mineral resources contributes a significant part to the Algerian economy. The extractive industries alone have contributed to the growth of the mining sector. Consequently, This academic training (Mining) constitutes a basic training for the mining engineering sector. Its objective is to provide fundamental knowledge on mining operations and techniques on one hand and on the optimization of mining costs on the other. Hence, this training targets large companies operating in the mining sector, such as FERPHOS (iron and phosphates), ENOF (non-ferrous), ENG (aggregates), Steel and Cement, Glass and Ceramics, etc.  At the regional scale, there is also a strong potential for outlets at PME-PMI companies having activities of design offices, consulting firms, material recovery, environmental protection. The Department of Mines and Geology provides two academic masters; one in the field of Valorization of Mineral Resources and another in the field of Mining. Graduates of these two Masters are generally either integrated into the socio-economic environment, particularly within companies in the mining industry or those specializing in the field of water and the environment, or enrolled in the doctoral cycle. The Master's "Exploitation of Mines" aims to train highly qualified and versatile senior executives, who will be endowed with very good technical and scientific knowledge and who can be directly operational, either in the public sector or in the private sector, or continue doctoral studies in the field of Mining. Graduates can analyze input information, find mutual links and rank them according to their importance, and apply this information when designing particular proposals for means of opening, preparing and extracting mineral deposits metalliferous, phosphates, auriferous, zinciferous and non-ores, using both underground and surface methods. Graduates can assess the strengths and weaknesses of proposals with the subsequent recommendation of implementation. They know mine safety and legal issues. Thus, this academic master will play a leading role in the integration into the professional life of students with advanced and specialized training in the mining field, namely: - Knowledge of mining in underground and surface mine, geotechnical mining and rehabilitation of mining sites; - act in oil and well drilling sectors;  -  Knowledge of ventilation and electrification of mines; -  Knowledge of the mining economy and geology; - Knowledge of the field of research and innovation; - Knowledge and application of CAD and CAD software tools, and project                management; -Documentary, statistical and risk analysis techniques; -Costs, quality and deadlines evaluation; -Regulations and their sources and the mining economy; -The rules of Quality, Hygiene, Safety and Environment QHSE; -The quality standards; -The pedagogical and editorial techniques; - Methodology of researches. The scientific and technical experience which will be acquired by the students during their training, will allow them a good integration in the various national and international organizations with a mining vocation. Graduates can also join small mining companies as well as design offices. They could create their own company in the field of “Valorization of Mineral Resources”. They can also continue their studies and research in the doctoral cycle.
