GEOCHEMICAL EXPLORATION OF MINERAL DEPOSITS
But the presence of a mineral deposit in an area under investigation is not the only factor that can disturb chemical equilibrium. In fact, one of the greatest problem in the interpretation of geochemical survey data is to discriminate between "anomalies" that are due to concealed mineral deposits and those that are due to other causes.

Mineral exploration from space
The Mineral Frontier. Remote sensing has been used for many years to explore for minerals. Initially, aerial surveys were flown to capture images of an area where a known mineral in substantial quantities was located. These images would be compared with those of other locations having similar exposed outcrops.

Mineral Deposits and Exploration Potential of Nigeria
Africa is the world's most mineral-rich continent endowed with abundant metallic and non-metallic minerals and gemstones. Africa's mineral wealth is attributable to its "favorable" geology and multiple tectonic events that affected the Precambrian rocks known worldwide to contain the bulk of many of the world's valuable mineral deposits.

Epithermal deposits are essentially mineral deposits formed within the earth's crust in a depth range of 0 - 1.50–1.5 km below the water table and at a temperature of about 100 to 300°C. They represent the shallow parts of larger, principally sub-aerial, hydrothermal systems (Cooke and Simmons, 2000; Simmons et al., 2005).
