gjenmjedis
Gjenmjedis is a term used in Albanian-language geology and resource studies to denote natural materials found in the Earth's crust that have economic value. It typically refers to mineral resources, including metallic minerals (ores), non-metallic minerals (industrial minerals), fossil fuels, and other extractable materials. The concept is used in geology, mining, and environmental planning to assess how much of these resources exist, where they occur, and how they can be obtained.
Formation and distribution: Gjenmjediset form through diverse geological processes such as magmatic crystallization, hydrothermal activity, sedimentary
Exploration and extraction: Prospecting combines field mapping with geophysical surveys, geochemical analysis, and drilling to locate
Sustainability and regulation: Because many gjenmjediset are finite, sustainable management emphasizes efficient extraction, rehabilitation of mined
Economic and social significance: Gjenmjediset underpin industrial production, energy supply, and infrastructure. Their value depends on
