Habituellement imprimé en 3-5 jours ouvrés
The era of discovering giant mineral deposits exposed at the Earth's surface is largely over. Future discoveries will come from deeper, more concealed, and geologically complex environments, where success depends on integrating geological insight with advanced exploration technologies. Finding the Next Giant Deposit presents a modern framework for mineral exploration that combines geology, geophysics, geochemistry, structural geology, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and strategic decision-making into a unified exploration approach. Rather than focusing on individual exploration techniques, the book explains how these disciplines work together to improve discovery success while reducing geological and investment risk. Built around the mineral systems approach, the book explores why exploration programs succeed or fail and provides practical guidance for designing exploration strategies under uncertainty. Readers will learn how to evaluate exploration opportunities, prioritize targets, manage exploration portfolios, and make better technical and investment decisions from grassroots exploration through advanced projects. Combining conceptual models, exploration workflows, decision frameworks, practical checklists, and real-world case studies, the book bridges academic knowledge with industry practice. It emphasizes strategic thinking and multidisciplinary integration, helping readers understand not only which exploration methods to use, but when, why, and how to apply them effectively. Written for exploration and economic geologists, mining engineers, geophysicists, geochemists, exploration managers, consultants, graduate students, researchers, and mining professionals, this book serves as both a practical guide and an advanced reference for modern mineral exploration. Key Features • Presents an integrated framework for modern mineral exploration • Applies the mineral systems approach to exploration strategy and target generation • Integrates geology, geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing, and AI into a unified workflow • Explains how to evaluate exploration opportunities and manage geological uncertainty • Includes practical decision frameworks, workflows, and real-world case studies • Suitable for graduate education and professional exploration practice
