Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are commonly used in consumer electronics such as televisions, cameras, and mobile phones, as well as automobile catalytic converters and rechargeable batteries due to their unique optical and magnetic properties.
Porphyry deposits are very attractive exploration and mining targets due to their high tonnage and relatively easy open pit mining. They are commonly associated with porphyritic intrusive rocks, i.e., granite porphyry.
Mining and exploration activities for precious metals have risen due to both high prices and increased demand. Precious metals are a collection of valuable metals that includes gold, silver, and the platinum group elements (PGEs).
Throughout history, gold (Au) has been a very valuable metal because of its monetary worth and unique physical and chemical properties; it is chemically stable (does not oxidize, unlike other metals) and has high electrical and thermal conductivity.
Tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), tungsten (W), and tin (Sn) are mainly used in high-end technology products.
