Ore Body Research and Mineral Exploration

Ore body research encompasses a multitude of disciplines, all invested in better understanding the genesis of the ore body, the characteristics of the deposit, and its behavior under metallurgical processing.

The increased demand for industrial minerals, metals, and gemstones, is resulting in an increase in exploration activities. Whether you are looking for new mineral deposits or adding to ore reserves, there is a need for mineralogy and geochemical studies.

The identification and characterization of minerals is crucial in determining the presence, quality, and potential economic value of a deposit. Studying mineral associations, assemblages, and the geochemical information provided by ZEISS microscopes, geologists can infer the presence of valuable minerals in the vicinity. With the ability to observe and analyze minerals at the microscopic level, in cores and rock-sections, ZEISS offers unparalleled accuracy and precision, enabling informed decision-making in mineral exploration and ensuring more efficient and sustainable resource utilization.
