minerals exploration
Minerals exploration is the process of searching for and identifying valuable natural resources like metals, gemstones, and industrial minerals beneath the Earth's surface. It involves geological surveys, soil and rock sampling, geophysical and geochemical techniques, and sometimes drilling to assess mineral deposits. The goal is to locate deposits that are economically feasible to develop into mines. This process helps ensure responsible resource management by identifying potential sites before large-scale extraction begins, balancing economic benefits with environmental and community considerations.
