TERRA EXPLORO REMOTE SENSING AND PROGESS IN PROSPECTIG OF RARE MINERALS

How can Geologists help with looming agricultural and technological crises? Remote sensing and progress in prospecting of some resourceful geological objects can do the trick.

Every year there is an increasing deficit in critical compounds, metals especially that are in high demand by agriculture (fertilizer industry), electronics, energy accumulation industries. According to analysts, there is a rising world crisis in industrial metals and minerals. (Source)

Recently, the modern technologies of recovery – hydrometallurgy (which had a “jump” in ten last years, based on modern low-price ion-exchange materials) formed the large interest in geological objects, which are not highly in recovery now but contain incredible wealth of these materials.

The remote sensing interpretation which Terra Exploro developed proven expertise allows exposing such objects very quickly and with low cost and consequently take them under exploration and recovery with a high profit margin. Remote sensing provides very good orientation (tool) to “traditional” geologists in prospecting of deficit minerals, compounds concentrating in discovered geological fields.

The remote sensing method have been successfully tested by Terra Exploro in several African, Middle East, South American countries leading to discoveries of minerals, compounds that highly in demand by fertilizer, chemical, metallurgy, electronic industries. Terra Exploro concentrates onf geological objects such as salars and ancient dykes to find these elements.

SALARS (salt lakes, salt flats)

Salt lakes, salt flats – (on photos below – recovery examples of such objects in Chile, Nevada) – are one of the primary sources of Salts and Potashes (fertilizers, other chemicals). They often include Lithium (key ingredient of energy accumulators in car and others industries), Rare Earthes (electronics) and other high prices compounds as admixtures.

Terra Explore have recently exposed some new, very productive salars in Argentina and Africa and is looking for an investor to partner in developing these objects.

DYKES

These are the ancient volcanoes. Very well recognizable on space images (examples on photos below – dykes in Niger and Iran). All these objects (especially carbonatite dykes) are the best source of phosphates, iron ore, copper, nickel, titanium, uranium, sometimes – gold, etc.

Terra Explore have recently exposed some new, very productive dykes in Asia and Africa and is looking for an investor to partner in developing these objects.
