Biography After finishing elementary school in his home town, he attended secondary school in Rozwadów. Then moved to Kraków, where in 1936 he passed his Matura exam in the Jan III Sobieski High School. Wyżykowski attended a seminary for a short period of time, while also studying opera singing under Professor Bronislaw Romaniszyn. His musical education was interrupted by a throat illness, followed by his philosophical studies at the Jagiellonian University, which were again interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. During the occupation he worked in the Social Insurance Office in Kraków. After the war Wyżykowski studied at the University of Science and Technology in Kraków. At the same time, in 1948 he started working for the Bytom Coal Industry Association, initially as an assistant, then as a traffic manager in the Łagiewniki and later Radzionków hard coal mines. There, he collected information about the technology and processing of hard coal. In 1950, on the basis of the work „Considering the problem of the advisability of building a central scrubber for coal from the Radzionków, Andalusia and Julian mines due to the size of the output of the concentrate and the amount of coal”, Wyżykowski received the title…

At the beginning of 1951 he was transferred to the Polish Geological Institute, to the Ore Department, where he was engaged in the exploration of copper ore deposits in Lower Silesia. In the years 1951-1954, Wyżykowski conducted research in the Sudety Basin, near Kamienna Góra - Okrzeszyn, and then in the strip from Głuszyca to Słupca. There, Wyżykowski discovered local concentrations of copper ore in the bituminous shale of the rotliegend. He summarized this research in „The studies on the occurrence of copper in the Sudety Basin and preliminary exploration works on copper ore in the area of Nowa Ruda conducted by the Ore Deposit Department of the Geological Institute in the years 1953-1954" and in „The case of the occurrence of copper in the formations of the Sudety Basin”. In 1954 the Scientific Council of the Geological Institute awarded him the title of Assistant Professor. In 1951-1952 he participated in the development of a drainage system of the Konrad mine near Złotoryja under the guidance of Professor Roman Krajewski. Afterwards, Wyżykowski was engaged in the search for copper ore deposits in the Fore-Sudetic Monocline. Initial drilling, based on seismic research of relatively poor quality, proved unsuccessful. It was not…
