Opis

A mining project is the component of three interdependent factors: exploration, production and redevelopment.Exploration generally begins with the search for interesting exploration zones and the taking of samples in geological zones that appear to have interesting mineral potential. This implies that a good prospecting strategy starts with a thorough understanding of the geological context and targets areas based on metallogenic models.exploration is carried out with the aim of discovering base and precious metals. Before starting work in the field, it is imperative to apply to government agencies for a permit to comply with regulations. Once a mineral deposit has been identified through exploration, the industry must invest heavily in mine development before production can begin. Additional exploration work in the vicinity of the deposit and development drilling within the deposit are carried out while operations are underway. Mine closure is the last major step in the mining cycle.
