New geological knowledge increases the chances of finding ore in the vicinity of previous mines and impulses to look for new areas. Then there must be opportunities for prospectors to get out into the ground and search and measure with their instruments. Therefore, geological knowledge and technology for exploration together with land issues are of great interest to SveMin and its exploring member companies. Finding mineral deposits with metals that are economically feasible requires knowledge of the geological processes that, through the earth's evolution over billions of years, have led to concentrations and elevated levels of interesting rocks, minerals and metals. If a mineralization with metals is minable, ie can be extracted with profitability, it is called ore. Knowledge is also required about how the earth's various constituents work and react to different types of influence, for example by weak magnetic fields that are induced by current loops, or how sound waves move through different types of materials in the earth's crust and are reflected back. There are a number of techniques for measuring the properties of crustal material. Genom att tolka resultat från mätningar och kombinera dem med geologisk kunskap och använda dessa data i avancerade modeller, kan man få en uppfattning om vad som finns i marken. Om man lyckas identifiera geologiska formationer som verkar lovande, kan man borra upp strängar av berget. Dessa strängar eller borrkärnor, beskrivs geologiskt och analyseras kemiskt, för att noggrannare bestämma utsträckning och sammansättning av bergarter och mineral. Med god kunskap om geologi och avancerade datorprogram, kan man sammanfoga denna information till modeller över utseendet i berggrunden under marken. Med ökande mängd information blir man mer och mer säker på vad som finns i marken och kan planera ett sätt att kunna ta upp de önskade mineralen ur berget. | Fler KONTAKT Kerstin Brinnen Industry lawyer Phone: 08-762 67 39 Mobile: 070-534 88 49 E-mail: Kerstin Brinnen About us Industries We think Current topics The Miners 'Employers' Association News Contact Organization Our members Industry Facts Statistics Referral response Debate articles Work environment External environment Energy Exploration & Land Competence supply Industriarbetsgivarna's website Arbetsgivarguiden Kollektivavtal News Kungsträdgårdsgatan 10 Box 1721 111 87 Stockholm Exchange: 08-762 67 35 info@svemin.se
