Mining exploration can refer to recreational or professional exploration of mines. Individual exploration involves organized tours or amateur prospecting, while mining companies conduct detailed feasibility studies and use advanced technologies to assess mining potential.
Mining exploration is a term that can be used to refer to the exploration of mines by visitors, tourists, or individual prospectors for recreation, education, excitement, and the hope of discovering something. Another application of mining exploration is the more formal and professional type of exploration that is undertaken by well-equipped mining companies, along with their crew of well-trained employees and contract personnel. Depending on the type of mining exploration under consideration, the types of procedures involved in the entire mining process are unique to the situation and resources available.
In the case of individual mining exploration, some people view it as a sort of pastime or recreational activity involving both planned or organized tours of old mines and more individual endeavors initiated by the respective prospectors. As for the organized efforts, the tour guides will take the participants around the mines, explaining to them the various processes involved in mineral exploration. On the other hand, some people may decide to go mining on their own in hopes of finding some minerals or precious stones, such as diamonds. Sometimes, they use some form of amateur prospecting equipment to assist them in their mining operations.
In the case of a mineral exploration conducted by mining companies, the preparations for such mining expeditions are usually more elaborate and detailed than the individual ones. These companies usually conduct a thorough evaluation of plans for exploration through feasibility studies which will include applying data collected across numerous scientific and geographic sources in order to assess the possibility of success for mineral exploration. That endeavor will include the use of technologies such as analyzing data gleaned from satellite imagery or photographs taken from aerial observation points, which will provide professionals such as geologists with evidence from which they can determine the presence of conditions that support mining potential. Sometimes, companies involved in petroleum exploration and extraction of crude oil or exploration and extraction of other objects such as gemstones and minerals will have their own crew of professionals, such as scientists and engineers who will carry out the exploration process mining. Others may engage the services of mining companies who will carry out the exploration on behalf of the company, including risk assessment and feasibility studies.
