Remote sensing for mineral exploration ScienceDirect
Remote sensing images are used for mineral exploration in two applications: (1) map geology and the faults and fractures that localize ore deposits; (2) recognize hydrothermally altered rocks by their spectral signatures. Landsat thematic mapper (TM) satellite images are widely used to interpret both structure and hydrothermal alteration.Remote sensing technology is a greatly applicable tool for regional geological mapping and ore mineral exploration at a low cost. The application of remote sensing techniques in the initial stages of ore mineral exploration has a significant impact on reducing exploration and exploitation prices.Remote sensing for mineral exploration ScienceDirect

Mining Prospecting, Exploration, Resources
Various techniques are used in the search for a mineral deposit, an activity called prospecting. Once a discovery has been made, the property containing a deposit, called the prospect, is explored to determine some The mineral resources in polar regions have been discovered in both land and sea. More than 220 types of energy and mineral resources have been discovered in the Antarctic land, including coal, petroleum, natural gas, iron, copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, manganese, nickel, gold, silver, graphite, diamond, thorium, plutonium and uranium.Mineral Resource Science in China: Review and perspective

9.1.2: The History of Mining Geosciences LibreTexts
People have practiced mining and quarrying since ancient times. The first mineral known to be mined was flint, a fine-grained variety of quartz used to make weapons. Early peoples mined other things, such as ochre, for use as pigment in art and religious ceremonies.

In the mineral resources industry, remotely raised bore TBMs are mainly used for shaft sinking, haulage and ore pass development and rarely for ore extraction (Master Drilling, 2019). In mining applications, TBMs are typically referred to as ‘raise/reef boring machines’ and fall under the bore and fill mining methods ( Roberts et al., 2019 ).Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are rapidly proving their value across many industries. Today’s infographic comes from GoldSpot Discoveries, and it shows that when this tech is applied to massive geological data sets, that there is growing potential to unlock the next wave of mineral discoveries.How AI and Big Data Will Unlock the Next Wave of Mineral

Mineral Resources Examples of Minerals, Types,
Mineral resources are the key material basis for socio-economic development. Statistical results show that more than 95% of energy used by mankind, 80% of industrial raw materials and 70% of raw materials for agricultural production are from mineral resources. A mineral is a pure inorganic substance that occurs naturally in the earth’s crustSeismic methods provide high-resolution images of geologic structures hosting mineral deposits and, in a few cases, can be used for direct targeting of mineral deposits. Applications are not limited to only surface seismic surveys, but also include borehole seismic methods such as VSP and crosshole imaging.
