Mineral Exploration

Mineral Exploration: Principles and Applications for a Sustainable Future, 3rd Edition delivers a structured textbook examining current mineral resource discovery techniques alongside sustainable industry practices. Written by Swapan Kumar Haldar and published by Elsevier, the text provides foundational reference material for practicing geologists, geoscientists, geophysicists, and geochemists across academic and industrial settings.

The initial chapters synthesize core survey techniques, including host rock analysis, photogeology, remote sensing, and geographic information systems. Haldar examines exploration geology, exploration geochemistry, and exploration geophysics in dedicated chapters, leading into standardized practical methodologies for sampling methods, mineral resource and ore reserve estimation, as well as statistical and geostatistical applications in geology.

The text incorporates modern analytical approaches by introducing environmental system management for green energy along with machine learning and artificial intelligence. This focus ensures that exploration modeling aligns with modern environmental standards, supporting technical specialists in executing complex resource assessments across varied geological terrains.
