By furnishing vital scientific information and advice, the Bureau aids in the establishment of new mining and petroleum operations and new mineral industries in the state, as well as in the expansion and diversification of existing mineral-resources industries. The extensive laboratories of the Bureau are designed and equipped for experimentation in a wide variety of areas useful to the mineral industries. These facilities are used not only in the Bureau programs, but also are available for use in instructional programs by students majoring in geology and metallurgy, and in materials, mineral, and petroleum and natural gas engineering. From 40 to 60 graduate and undergraduate students are employed by the Bureau.
