Mineral Exploration: Principles and Applications for a Sustainable Future, Third Edition offers a thorough examination of mineral exploration, focusing on advances that support a sustainable future. The book opens by exploring the nature and distribution of economic mineral deposits and introduces key tools such as photogeology, remote sensing, and geographic information systems. It then provides detailed insights into exploration geology, geochemistry, and geophysics, laying a solid foundation for understanding the technical approaches used in modern mineral exploration. Beyond foundational concepts, the text moves into practical methodologies, discussing sampling techniques, resource and reserve estimation, as well as statistical and geostatistical applications.

It also addresses exploration modeling, mineral economics, and mineral processing. In its final chapters, the book looks forward, examining environmental management for green energy and the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence, making it an essential resource for professionals aiming to align exploration with sustainable development goals.
