What does Geometallurgy mean?

This interdisciplinary field of research aims to close the gap between ore body exploration/ exploitation (mining) on the one hand, and mineral processing and metallurgy on the other hand. This interface is widely regarded as an interdisciplinary divide that holds significant potential to utilize non-renewable mineral resources more efficiently and sustainably. Research interests focus on the development and implementation of quantitative analytical methods to characterize the mineralogy and texture of ores and ore-forming systems.
