Oregeology
Oreology is the scientific study of ores, which are natural concentrations of valuable minerals or metals found within the Earth's crust. It is a multidisciplinary field that combines elements of geology, mineralogy, and economic geology. Oreology aims to understand the formation, distribution, and extraction of ores, as well as the environmental impacts of mining activities.
The study of ores begins with the identification of their mineralogical composition and the geological processes
Oreology also involves the study of the economic aspects of mining, including the assessment of ore reserves,
In recent years, oreology has gained increased attention due to the growing demand for minerals and metals,
