Surface exploration

Surface exploration is the initial phase of searching for underground natural resources like minerals, oil, or gas. It involves examining the Earth's surface using methods such as geological mapping, sampling rocks and soils, and analyzing surface features. These efforts help identify promising areas that may contain valuable deposits below ground. By understanding surface conditions and geological clues, explorers can target potential sites more efficiently for further, more detailed investigations. This process is essential for making informed decisions about where to conduct deeper explorations or drilling.
