Exploration geological mining involves the systematic process of discovering and evaluating mineral deposits beneath the Earth's surface. It includes various techniques such as geological mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, and drilling to assess the potential of an area for mineral resources
Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic solids characterized by a crystalline structure and specific chemical composition. Ores, on the other hand, are mineral concentrations within rock formations that possess sufficiently high levels of valuable minerals to justify economic extraction.
Qualitative chemical analysis identifies the constituent substances present, while quantitative analysis measures the precise amounts of each constituent. It provides insight into the timing and relationships between historical events.
