Correct use of science crucial to unearthing mineral endowment, says Council for Geoscience

Targeting science is a key application in economic geology, as it is aimed at translating knowledge about minerals into mappable proxies. This is done along with the integration of constraints imposed by previous exploration, as well as developing and evaluating methodologies of data interaction to prioritise targets. This is according to Council for Geoscience (CGS) economic geology specialist scientist John Paul Hunt who was speaking at the recent CGS 2016 conference, which was held at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research International Convention Centre, in Tshwane.
