Mining Magazine Intelligence Exploration Report 2024 (feat. Opaxe data)

A comprehensive review of exploration trends and technologies, highlighting the best intercepts and discoveries and the latest initial resource estimates.

Mining Magazine Intelligence’s Exploration Report 2024 (feat. Opaxe data) examines top technologies and exclusive data to reveal emerging trends in mineral exploration.

Following the Executive summary, which features a global heat map of drilling intercepts announcements and infographics, the report analyses key findings of our Exploration Survey, including the biggest challenges on the path to discovery, as chosen by more than 130 exploration professionals.

The third section provides an overview of the top technologies and techniques companies are deploying to boost discovery rates. The report then reviews the year’s most important discoveries, featuring interviews with the companies behind those successes.

The final sections provide a catalogue of the best intercepts and new initial resource estimates, based on data provided by research partner Opaxe.


Methodology:

The Exploration Report 2024 (feat. Opaxe data) was put together using a selection of research techniques.

Our Exploration Survey, which attracted responses from more than 130 industry professionals, was conducted from February to April. The questions probed views on themes ranging from the most promising new technologies to spending priorities and challenges around access to capital and permitting.

The Technology & Techniques review was built on Mining Magazine’s in-house expertise, and companies were contacted directly to provide additional insights on their recent drilling successes in the Discovery Highlights section.

Research partner Opaxe provided data on the top intercepts, selected using the company’s own algorithms, as well as details of 2023 initial resource estimates.
