![]() ![]() Laser fluorescence scanning and portable X-ray fluorescence are examples of the equipment used to provide such relevant data. These techniques are key elements in discovering several mineral deposits and are still used in exploration. Geochemical analysis can provide sufficient data about the soil, rock, water, vegetation and vapor which allow for the amount of metals or other elements to be tracked and could also indicate the presence of a buried ore deposit. For example, data about the geological history of ore would be beneficial, not only to the mining industry, but also to the land-use planners and environmental scientists. Data can be used and collected in different methods. Preliminary data collection is one of the most important steps that helps in reducing the cost of exploration and the time spent on operations as it helps in discovering the mines faster with less efforts. In this stage, there are many technologies that can be used. To begin with, the exploration process is considered the most important stage in mining it is the process from which the entire industry begins. Developing new technologies fits well with the strategy of the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoP) to develop the mining sector to be able to contribute to the Gross National Production (GNP) through the exploration of more mines and enhancing productivity. ![]() These innovative technologies should help in delivering savings, productivity and safety improvements in the mining industry as well as allow to revive the industry. The mining industry, which comprised of three main stages: exploration, mining and processing, can benefit greatly from the implementation of modern technologies. In the mining industry, there has always been a need for developing the exploration and production methods along with their respective new technologies aiming at increasing the outputs.
