The application of remote sensing sciences in the field geology is very diverse and wide. One its most important applications earth geological mapping. Mineral exploration using techniques done different ways, one them mapping alteration zones related to mineral resources. Given importance geosciences today's industry given that deposit-related areas are exploratory keys. this review study meth...

The Mineral Potential project was initiated in 1992 to meet the need for cnrrent regional mineral potential information in regional and sub-regional land-use planning. These planning processes have the responsibility of making recommendations on protected areas, as described in the provincial Protected Areas Strategy (PAS). The goal of PAS, created in 1992, is to protect representative examples...

The new mineral, the iron analogue of monticellite, occurs in melilite-nephelinite Iava from Mt. Shaheru, Belgian Congo, associated with melilite, nepheline, clinopyroxene, kalsilite, gdtzenite, combeite, sodalite, magnetite, perovskite, apatite, hornblende, biotite, and an unident i f ied mineral . Analysis gave SiO2 32.77,TiO20.23, AIzOa0.26, Fe2Oa 0.66, FeO 29 34, MnO 1.65, MgO 4.95, CaO 29....

As already exemplified by the highly successful first volume of this Special Issue, both theoretical understanding mineral exploration and its practical application in field are undergoing a profound significant transformation [...]

Electromagnetic (EM) methods, both airborne and ground, are some of the most widely used geophysical techniques in mineral exploration, which natural or controlled sources to transmit EM waves Earth measure reflected signal [...]

With the continued growth in demand for mineral resources and China's efforts in increasing investment in geological prospecting, fiscal investment in geological exploration becomes a research hotspot. This paper examines the yearly relationship among fiscal investment in geological exploration of the current term, that of the last term and prices of mining rights over the period 1999-2009. Hin...

Deep sea exploration and exploitation are of an increasingly interest to human beings in the 21 century. Manned and unmanned deep submergence vehicles are necessary means for deep sea explorations. In order to fulfill the requirements of deep sea explorations of COMRA (China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association), a deep manned submersible is developed in China and it is now named “Harmony”. ...

Anomaly recognition has always been a prominent subject in preliminary geochemical explorations. Among the regional geochemical data processing, there are a range of statistical and data mining techniques as well as different mapping methods, which serve as presentations of the outputs. The outlier’s values are of interest in the investigations where data are gathered under controlled condition...

Regional exploration and identification of anomalies can be done by geochemical data resulted from stream sediments. In this paper, fractal methods of concentration-number and concentration-area were used for regional studies, and abnormalities of elements including gold, arsenic, bismuth and mercury were studied. Statistical processing of these elements took place with the help of 1063 samples...
