Introduction to the Special Issue Challenges for mineral exploration …
The global demand for mineral resources has dramatically increased in the last 50 years. The challenge to keep pace with this demand is the driving force for innovation, and also drives mineral exploration in regions where mineral deposits are under cover, and therefore not exposed or near surface, for which novel techniques are required to locate these mineral …
