Mineral and Ore Exploration Unit

Geophysical techniques in mineral exploration: Magnetic surveys, radiometric surveys, electromagnetic surveys, and gravity surveys help detect changes in physical properties associated with mineral ores (conductivity, density, or magnetism). These methods provide accurate data on subsurface conditions and ore characteristics. Ore body characterization: These techniques provide information on the depth, size, and orientation of mineral bodies, supporting productive drilling planning. Different minerals (e.g., copper, iron, gold, etc.) can be distinguished based on their unique physical properties. Geological mapping and targeting: Geological layers and host rocks are identified to pinpoint suitable environments for ore deposits. This geological mapping aids in selecting optimal drilling sites to ensure successful mineral exploration with minimal cost and effort.
