Modern mineral exploration can be considered the modern pursuit of the solid earth, representing a vital link between mineral exploration and committed intellectual investment. Geochemists, geophysicists, geomatists, geotechnical engineers, mineral chemists, environmental scientists, ceramic engineers, metallurgists, and business communities with diverse interests and training needs are among the mineral explorers involved in this field. This volume addresses key areas such as mineral resources, modern exploration techniques, water resource exploration and exploitation, environmental studies, and economic development. The collection of illustrations, including maps, photographs, figures, satellite images, color photographs, and tables, will be valuable for students, researchers, field professionals, and decision-makers alike.
