Mineral exploration
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Prospector by N. C. Wyeth, 1906
Mineral exploration is the process of finding ores (commercially viable concentrations of minerals) to mine. Mineral exploration is a much more intensive, organized and professional form of mineral prospecting and, though it frequently uses the services of prospecting, the process of mineral exploration on the whole is much more involved.
