Geological Mapping

Geological mapping is a fundamental tool in understanding the geological characteristics of an area. It involves the methodical recording and depiction of various geological features, such as rock types, structures, and mineral occurrences, onto maps. This process not only provides a visual representation of the Earth’s surface but also offers insights into the underlying geological processes that have shaped the landscape. By identifying different rock formations, structures like faults and folds, and mineral deposits, geological mapping aids in recognizing favorable settings for mineralization. Moreover, it contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the geological framework of an area, facilitating informed decision-making in mineral exploration, resource assessment, and land-use planning
