Minerals are elements that originate in the Earth and cannot be made by living organisms. They are natural compounds formed through geological processes and are what remains as ash when plant or animal tissue is burned or decompose completely after death. Minerals are inorganic substances which means they are not formed by living matter and contain no carbon‚ and can be simply defined as chemical molecules which cannot be reduced to simpler substances. To be classified as a "true" mineral‚ a substance

Mineral Exploration Mineral exploration is the initial stage of the mining cycle. It is a sequential process of information gathering that assesses the mineral potential of a given area. In simple words it is the search for mineral deposits. The reason of exploration is to trace a new source of metal or useful minerals. This includes industrial minerals like silica or clay minerals‚ metals like iron‚ lead‚ zinc‚ etc.‚ and precious metals and gemstones like gold and diamonds. Types of Mineral Exploration
