Initial exploration activities, such as mapping, will start over a large area and then target smaller and smaller areas. The aim is to see if mineralisation is at levels large enough to be commercially extracted. Exploration for minerals may involve: mapping. surveying the ground from the surface or air. testing water and soil samples. drilling.Web
