Highlights
The mineral exploration industry is undergoing a profound transformation, reflecting the presence of some novel societal, economic, and environmental considerations, and reflecting the changes in the deposits themselves, which tend to be deeper, with lower grades, and in more remote regions
The papers published in this Special Issue are diverse, with contributions in the fields of geophysics, computational methods, geochemistry, and one review paper on a specific deposit type
The contribution by Zhang et al [1] provides an example of successful deep-seated deposit exploration, where the geological background was interpreted in combination with geophysical methods such as gravity, aeromagnetic, and controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT)
Summary
The mineral exploration industry is undergoing a profound transformation, reflecting the presence of some novel societal, economic, and environmental considerations, and reflecting the changes in the deposits themselves, which tend to be deeper, with lower grades, and in more remote regions. Recent technological advances, in geophysics and geochemistry, but in fields such as in artificial intelligence, computational methods, and hyperspectral exploration, to name but a few, have profoundly changed the way exploration is conducted. This special volume is a representation of these cutting-edge and pioneering ways to consider and conduct exploration and should serve both as a valuable compendium of the most innovative exploration methodologies available and as a fore-shadowing of what form the future of exploration will likely take. This volume is of significant importance and would be useful to any exploration geologist and company
