Remote sensing, geophysical surveys, and geochemical surveys are all commonly used technologies for mineral exploration in India.

The primary objective of mineral exploration is to identify potential mineral deposits, assess their quality and quantity, and determine the feasibility of mining operations.

Seismic surveys, magnetic surveys, and gravity surveys are all used to create detailed maps of the subsurface.

Core drilling is used to obtain samples of the subsurface, determine the depth of mineral deposits, and assess the quality of mineral resources.

Underground mining is used to extract minerals from deep underground.

Beneficiation is the process of separating valuable minerals from waste rock.

Flotation, gravity separation, and magnetic separation are all used to extract minerals from low-grade ores.

Refining is the process of removing impurities from minerals.

Smelting is the process of extracting metals from their ores.

Electrolysis is the process of separating metals from their ores using an electric current.

Dredging, offshore mining, and submarine mining are all used to extract minerals from the ocean floor.

Mining is the process of extracting minerals from the earth's crust.

Dredging, hydraulic mining, and panning are all used to extract minerals from placer deposits.

Overburden removal, stripping, and quarrying are all processes of removing waste rock from a mine.

Open-pit mining, underground mining, and surface mining are all used to extract minerals from hard rock deposits.
