Initially these responsibilities were allocated to the Division of Mines and Geology, working in concert with the State Mining and Geology Board and local governments.
Mining geology is an applied science which combines the principles of economic geology and mining engineering to the development of a defined mineral resource. Mining geologists and engineers work to develop an identified ore deposit to economically extract the ore .
Mining in the engineering discipline is the extraction of minerals from the ground. Mining engineering is associated with many other disciplines, such as mineral processing, exploration, excavation, geology, metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying. A mining engineer may manage any phase of mining operations, from exploration and ...
Metallogeny is the study of the genesis and regional-to-global distribution of mineral deposits, with emphasis on their relationship in space and time to regional petrologic and tectonic features of the Earth's crust . The term metallogeny (métallogénie) was created by Louis de Launay, a professor at the Ecole des Mines de Paris, in his 1913 ...

Natural resource geology. Iron ore mining plays an important role in the economy of Mauritania. Banded iron formations with 64% iron hematite lenses were discovered at F'Derik-Segazou, Tazadit hills and Rouessa, close to the border with Western Sahara in the 1970s. Mining began 25 kilometers north of Zouerate, as part of the Guelb project in ...
