Exploration is an exercise in diagnosis
Mineral exploration is, to a large extent, an exercise in diagnosis. What is the underlying meaning of the almost always incomplete information that can be gathered by first-hand observation at surface, supplemented by second hand information that can be derived from various sources such as satellite imagery, geophysical and geochemical survey data?
As with any such exercise, experience, expertise, an ability to observe then think critically and independently, and to distinguish what is of significance from what is superficial, are the keys to success. This is how Nebu approaches all of its assignments and where it can make a significant difference for its clients.
