Did you know that there are still unexplored and untapped mineral deposits in Poland? Specialized knowledge combined with innovative technology can effectively facilitate the extraction of valuable minerals crucial for the industry. Find out why it is worthwhile to commission geological services from us.
Deposit Geology
Deposit geology, also known as economic geology, is a scientific discipline that deals with the exploration and study of fossil deposits while explaining the processes of their formation. From a human perspective, this is a crucial branch of applied geology because its task is to identify minerals that are significant for the economy.
Types of Deposits in Poland
Recognizing resources in the field is crucial for the economy as it enables their extraction and, consequently, utilization. Several fundamental types of deposits can be distinguished in Poland, including:
- Energy (fuels) – bituminous and brown coal, crude oil, natural gas;
- Metallic – metal ores, e.g., iron, copper, zinc, lead, tin, aluminum;
- Chemical – rock salt, potash salts, phosphorites, sulfur, oil, gas;
- Rock (construction) – sands, gravels, limestones, marls, dolomites, marbles, granites, gypsum.
In our country, in glacial areas, mainly in lakelands and lowlands, there are substantial reserves of construction raw materials. Meanwhile, in southern Poland, numerous mines are rich in metallic, chemical, and energy resources. We continue to explore additional prospective resources from an economic standpoint.
Methods of prospecting and studying deposits
Prospecting for deposits is not always a straightforward process, but various techniques and scientific disciplines come to aid in this regard. Methods of prospecting and studying raw materials include, among others:
- Geological exploration techniques,
- Geophysics and geochronology in the search for deposits,
- Sampling and mineral analysis.
The choice of the appropriate method for prospecting and studying a deposit also depends on the characteristics of the resource. We distinguish deposits of solid minerals (e.g., coal and metal ores), energy resources (e.g., crude oil and natural gas), as well as deposits of rare earth elements and industrial minerals. An experienced specialist will certainly choose the correct method for the study.
Innovations in deposit geology
Deposit geology is a field undergoing rapid development, leveraging modern technological advancements that increasingly accompany us in our daily activities. To obtain current information about the level of exploitation of a given open-pit mine, drones are increasingly used. Digital elevation models created based on drone images provide the ability to calculate the volume of the extracted deposit over a specific period. Are you looking for the assistance of an expert familiar with this method? You’ve come to the right place.
