Usage Competence references ESCO source

determine characteristics of mineral deposits

Prepare and conduct geological mapping, logging, sampling and assay of drill core and other subsurface rock samples. Analyse results in plans and sections, with particular emphasis on geostatics and sampling theory. Examine in 3D the maps, deposits, drilling locations or mines to determine the location, size, accessibility, contents, value and potential profitability of mineral deposits.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

evaluate mineral resources

Search for mineral resources, including minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources after obtaining legal rights to explore in a specific area. Endorse the assessment of the mineral reserves.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

examine geochemical samples

Analyse laboratory samples using equipment such as spectrometers, gas chromatographs, microscopes, microprobes and carbon analysers. Determine the age and characteristics of environmental samples such as minerals, rock or soil.

interface with anti-mining lobbyists

Communicate with anti-mining lobby in relation to the development of a potential mineral deposit.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

interpret geophysical data

Interpret data of a geophysical nature: Earth's shape, its gravitational and magnetic fields, its structure and composition, and geophysical dynamics and their surface expression in plate tectonics.

model mineral deposits

Geologically model mineral deposits in order to determine their location, their aspect and their economic potential.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

negotiate land access

Negotiate with landowners, tenants, mineral rights owners, regulatory bodies or other stakeholders to obtain permission to access areas of interest for exploration or sampling.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

negotiate land acquisition

Negotiate with landowners, tenants, mineral rights owners or other stakeholders of land containing mineral reserves in order to buy or lease the land.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

use earth sciences tools
