Mineral exploration

Mineral exploration is the process undertaken by companies, partnerships or corporations in the endeavour of finding ore (commercially viable concentrations of minerals) to mine. Mineral exploration is a much more intensive, organised and professional form of mineral prospecting and, though it frequently uses the services of prospecting, the process of mineral exploration on the whole is much more 3.involved.

Stages of mineral exploration
1. Area selection
2. Target definition or generation
3. Resource evaluation
4. Reserve definition
5. Extraction
