1. Systematic mineral exploration in Ethiopia began in the 1970s leading to the discovery of gold, tantalum, and industrial minerals. Exploration continues for oil, gas, coal, and geothermal energy. 2. Ethiopia's geology consists of Precambrian basement rocks, Paleozoic-Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, and Cenozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Mining companies are exploring for gold …

hardly any big discovery of base metal deposits. It is not because of low potential or prospectability but low domestic exploration/ investment when compared globally . Also the Policy reforms is a big factor that need a big boost for the discoveries of the new mineral deposits. Australia and Canada have high investment in exploration.

Clearly, exploration for critical metal mineral systems faces numerous severe geoscientific challenges. Mineral exploration is also challenged by the risk-averse nature of major mining companies coincident with low exploration budgets for junior exploration companies, strict environmental and indigenous population issues, and a negative public perception of mining in …

9.05.2.2 Base-metal Deposits. Base metal is a wide-ranging term that refers either to metals inferior in value to those of gold and silver, or alternatively, to metals that are more chemically active than gold, silver, and the platinum metals (AGI, 1957).Accordingly, a review of base-metal mineralogy would encompass much of the world's metal production and geology.
