What are steps for mineral exploration?
First of all, we will say that there is a mining company looking to make some money. So this company starts looking for a mineral deposit. To do this the company takes GIS (geographic information systems) to create a map containing information needed to evaluate a potential mine (to further understand this particular step research GIS on google for example). Then the mining company has to determine if the deposit makes economical sense to mine. This means that they have to make sure that the company can make a profit off of the mineral deposit. For example if you went for a walk on an undiscovered mineral deposit, and then found a speck of gold in a rock, would it be a good idea to mine this area without finding out if there was more gold? Of course not! because it can cost thousands of dollars to mine and it wouldn't have a great profit if there was only $1 worth of gold. So after the company is sure that it makes economic sense to mine the mineral dposit, they then stake a claim. This means they either buy the land of the deposit they wish to mine, making the minerals and land the company's property; or lease the minerals/deposit from the owner. Then they start planning (think of blue prints) of how the mine will work. Then the company hires miners if need be and when the project is sure to work they start building and then when ready start mining. Then after/as minerals are being found/mined the company starts milling/smelting the minerals. I HOPE THIS HELPS!! ps. I am 14
