Exploration Report: 2021

The inaugural Mining Magazine Intelligence Exploration Report analyses the processes and technologies delivering currently underwhelming discovery rates, alongside recent greenfield and brownfield success stories.

The report is divided into three sections: the findings from our first Exploration Survey with commentary and analysis from other leading providers of exploration research; a technology review; and an aggregation of outstanding intercepts, maiden resource publications, and then technical profiles of the 10 most distinguished recent success stories.

The report covers:

  • A survey of some 350 mining-industry professionals to gauge the current state of exploration
  • Technical profiles unpacking the exploration processes behind the latest and greatest greenfield and brownfield discoveries
  • A ranking of recent intercepts and maiden resource statements
  • A review of technologies and techniques that could help improve the discovery rate

The full report is available as an ePublication on the Mining Magazine website.
