The energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies demands more mining of metals. Copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, and iron are essential metals with diverse applications in modern society. Copper's excellent electrical conductivity makes it vital for power transmission, wiring, and electronics, while its thermal conductivity is utilized in heat exchangers and plumbing. Gold's resistance

The essential points that an ore deposit map should contain

Ore deposit maps are fundamental tools for understanding mineral deposits. More than just a visual representation of rock types, these maps integrate geological history, mineralization processes, and structural controls, guiding mineral exploration and development. Great geological exploration maps are made and fine-tuned in the field, not in the office. When executed in the "Anaconda Style,"

The Importance of Structural Geology in Mineral Exploration and Mining Projects

By |2025-02-28T21:47:07+00:00February 28th, 2025|Mining|

Structural geology - a currently underused discipline in the mineral exploration and mining sectors not only influences where valuable mineral deposits are located but also dictates how these deposits are discovered, accessed, developed, and mined safely and efficiently. The current energy transition phase demands more new mines and the expansion of current mines. Yet, mines

Why most mining projects fail without geophysics – and how yours won’t

By |2025-02-19T01:34:16+00:00June 6th, 2024|Mining|

Mining engineers must utilize the optimization potential of geophysical methods in mining operations to explore the economic ore deposit, mitigate operational risk, enhance operational effectiveness, and secure project viability. Most mining projects crumble primarily due to this glaring oversight, yet the solution lies within reach. Geophysics is a tool that allows you to see

Mineral hunting: How Geophysics improves the mining industry

By |2025-02-19T01:34:52+00:00November 10th, 2023|Mining|

Geophysics is a crucial component within the mining world, enabling miners to explore beneath the surface, predict mineral deposits, and optimize their operations. It provides miners with a unique set of tools to peer deep into the Earth without breaking a sweat. It is perfect for mineral hunting. This science relies on the fact that
