The mining market is one of the largest industries in the world, moving fuels, metals, minerals and precious stones every day of the year.  All these resources are depleted and finish sooner or later. Because of that, the companies have the same problem: ¿how to discover a new mineral deposit? Today, it is necessary to make an extensive analysis of the areas of geological interest. Including field survey to obtain a geological map, geochemical samples and geophysical data. All these steps requires long analysis periods that increases the final costs of the investigation. Despite of the time spend and its cost, the study does not guarantee success. In many cases, a large part of the ground is covered by soil and vegetation that can hide important minerals deposits. This situation limits the effectiveness of the traditional analysis methods. Our solution is to apply a combination of biogeochemical analysis and geobotany to find metals and minerals deposits of commercial interest.
