Mineral exploration refers to the methodical process of locating and estimating the extent of mineral deposits in the Earth's crust. The goal of mineral …
The Mineral Exploration Methods and Applications Section welcomes papers related to all aspects of mineral resources, including geological, geophysical, geochemical methods, and satellite imagery. We invite contributions on historical, technical, and practical aspects of exploration for mineral deposits.
Deep-sea mining aims to retrieve valuable mineral deposits found on the ocean's floor, hundreds or even thousands of meters below its surface.
Promoting exploration, production and innovation. Investment in the production and exploration of many key minerals and metals increased in 2021, and high prices are …
This paper provides an overview of the history of advances in mineral exploration technology over the past thirty years—the 1990s, the 2000s and the 2010s—divided into the following categories: (1) theoretical advances in economic geology, i.e., the target model itself; (2) breakthroughs in the methods or technologies for …
We argue that discovery of deeper deposits will be facilitated if exploration teams (1) seek to identify subtle evidence of mineralized rock recognizable within 500 m …
GSI, Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL), and later, Coal Mine Planning and Development Institute (CMPDI), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL), took up the cudgels of mineral ...
Mineral exploration and mining are often used interchangeably, despite having separate functions and a distinct purpose. Mineral exploration precedes mining. Without mineral exploration, mines cannot be developed, and mining cannot occur. Exploration encompasses many different methods. This fact sheet provides an overview of what …

Mineral exploration involves the search for economically viable deposits of minerals in the Earth's crust.
The Mining Act Reclamation Program was created under the New Mexico Mining Act of 1993 to regulate hard rock mining reclamation activities for all minerals except the exploration and extraction of potash, sand, gravel, caliche, borrow dirt and quarry rock used as aggregate in construction; the exploration and extraction of natural petroleum …
Geologic mapping provides many types of information essential both in exploration for new mineral deposits and during subsequent mining. Geologic mapping of outcrops is used to describe the primary lithology and morphology of rock bodies as well as age relationships between rock units.
2.1.1.3 Exploration for Uranium Ore Deposits. Exploration of uranium anomalies in the early days consisted of the most direct approach such as geological favorability involving places of known uranium minerals and hydrothermal mineralization, especially the existence of pathfinder elements like copper and lead, along with searches in favorable …
These social risks associated with mineral exploration and mining are not the subject of this paper. Instead, this paper focuses on the perspectives of private investors in mineral exploration and development. It begins by summarizing the important characteristics of exploration and development, including the various sources of risk.
The mineral exploration industry has an information problem. There are far too many variables, and too few reliable data sources. Discoveries to date often rely on incomplete data, intuition, and luck.
Mining: Exploration, Consulting, Engineering ... Customers in almost every mining region of the world and across nearly all commodities, from ore and minerals to coal, oil and gas. Our focus within active mining is primarily on maximizing the "return on investment", without essential parameters such as security, product quality, geotechnical ...
Various techniques are used in the search for a mineral deposit, an activity called prospecting. Once a discovery has been made, the property containing a deposit, called the prospect, is explored to determine some of …
