    Mineral ExplorationProgramme

    2/93

    A simple programme typical of many and stated very broadly might be asfollows:

    (a) Selection of area by broad geological considerations,

    (b) Acquisition of area for exploration activities,

    (c) Reconnaissance exploration, possibly by broad geochemical,geological and

    geophysical methods,

    (d) Selection of areas of particular interest as indicated by thereconnaissance wor,

    (e) !etailed local geological ,geochemical and geophysical wor,

    (f) "onclusive activities such as costing, drilling, shaft sining etc#

    (g) $easibility studies,

    (h) !ecision to mine, hold for future or surrender,

    (i) Appropriate action#

    As each pro%ect has its own particular characteristics, the program should

    be chosen to &t it individually, and as each frequently is of di'erent merit

    compared to

    others, this may inuence the resources and hence the methodsemployed#

    Benefts o Mineral Exploration Programme

    he bene&ts of a well articulated mineral exploration programme willinclude but not limited to the following:

    *# A well stated programme of wor is helpful to the o+cer because it helpsto put the %ob in perspective, draws attention to the need for resources andthe level of coordination that would be needed to successfully carry outthe programme etc#

    .# A well articulated programme permits adequate monitoring of the successof the exploration programme# /t provides a basis for periodical review, anddiscussion without excessive involvement in or distraction by detail#

    0# he 1rogramme clearly de&nes the deferent professional that are involvedand the role of each# programmes are the foundation for schedules, and

    2# 1erhaps most important of all programmes and schedules are

    fundamental to control# 3ithout control, resources cannot be expended withoptimum e+ciency, and this reduces the lielihood of success of the ventureat hand

    A mineral prospect is anyoccurrence that has beendeveloped by underground or byabove ground techniques or bysubsurace drilling to determine

    the extent o minerali!ation.

    An ore deposit is a well%defnedmetallierous mineral deposit that has

    been tested and ound to be o su"cientsi!e grade and accessibility to beextracted #i.e. mined$ and processed at aproft at a specifc time. &hus the si!e
