A review of geospatial technology-based applications in mineral exploration

Mining entails four major phases including exploration, development, production, and rehabilitation. Despite mineral exploration having the least budget compared to the other processes, it is the major gateway to the mining operation as it dictates whether the deposit is feasible for extraction or not (Caron et al., 2016; Jebril et al., 2018).
