A geologic process influenced at, or outside the earth’s surface

The process of bombarding matter with energy, creating an excited state of the said matter to facilitate the measurement of reflection and/or absorption of the said energy, thereby determining its mineral constituents from correlative readings. This process is used in X-Ray Fluorescent (XRF) mineral determination

The process of removing materials such as rock, gravel, soil and overburden for the purpose of locating or transporting target minerals or further facilitate the location and transportation of minerals
