EXPLORATION
1. Geological Mapping
- WHY?
- IDg & recording characteristics &
distrib of rock units @/near surface
- Surface distrib
- orientation
- inter-relationship
- Surface distrib
- determines availability
of mineral
- IDg & recording characteristics &
distrib of rock units @/near surface
- TYPES
- outcrop/bedrock map
- estd in field
- Shows actual perimeters of
bedrock @ surface
