How to start exploring? Surface mineral exploration Techniques. Dr Vivek Laul discusses his views

Getting to a new area is challenging for an exploration geologist. Dr Vivek Laul explains to Dr Amit Tripathi what is his approach to starting a mineral exploration project in a new area. What are sampling techniques he uses, mapping tips, alterations, identification of targets etc explained. He gives examples from his experience of exploring base metals, gold and limestone. Questions and comments are welcome

Very educative presentation for young professionals, demonstrative examples will help the young geologists to become more perfect in their approach. Wish Dr Laul all the best for more educative presentation in the time ahead!

Very nice sir pl. Guided to all begner from such valuable economy series

[@RiyanshVlogs555]

Sir, this video is a very informative and good explanation about grab and channel samples.. Particularly for freshers.

[@pmuthukaruppan7683]

Good information , plz upload lot of videos regarding mineral exploration mainly in field observation of structural analysis / fault zone etc

[@vimalsahu8284]

Great geology pioneers

[@deeppalchandima7196]

Very informative thanks

[@kankanalapalli79]

What is the size fraction (200esh or 200mesh) is recommended for soil and stream sediment samples for basemetal or gold exploration?

[@vimalsahu8284]

Very good economy lecture si thanks

[@jeandkhansoomro9259]

very good and informative videos . sir can you share videos on gold mining , iron mining , coal mining

Sir i am Bsc Geology student from coimbatore..

Sir, 1. Why do we perform channel sampling in case of Banded ores like BIF? Because if we see the BIF beds do have 100 kms of extension but why we are not performing grab sampling or chip sampling as well? 2. In both chip sampling and channel sampling we take a linear traverse, although the scale is smaller in chip sampling, then how do you fix, which type of sampling you are gonna take in a Greenfield exploration. Thank you

[@viveklaul9929]

Channel sampling is usually done for basemetals, precious metals where there is just indication on surface in the form of oxidation zone, alteration zone etc

[@viveklaul9929]

In iron formation grab sampling , chip sampling along sections is good enough

You need to come back to Zambia for further exploration.

Sir , we are mining contract ob removal company, we would like to take one concession in Africa, can you do the consultancy work.

[@nicholasleelibi8733]

Send me your email address, we can collaborate on mineral exploration in Zambia.
