What is Mineral exploration?
'''Mineral exploration''' is the process undertaken by companies, partnerships or corporations in finding [[ore]] (commercially viable concentrations of [[mineral]]s) for mining. Mineral exploration is intensive, organised and professional mineral [[prospecting]] and, though it frequently uses the services of prospecting, the process of mineral exploration on the whole is much more involved. Work includes finding, testing, and surveying the deposit, and determining the value and cost of exploiting it. {{stub}} [[Category:Minerals]]
