Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be utilized for economic and/or industrial purposes. These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction-grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal, and water. The term commonly refers to metallic mineral deposits and mineral resources. The techniques employed by other earth science disciplines (such as geochemistry, mineralogy, geophysics, and structural geology) might all be used to understand, describe, and exploit an ore deposit.

  • Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be utilized for economic and/or industrial purposes. These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction-grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal, and water. The term commonly refers to metallic mineral deposits and mineral resources. The techniques employed by other earth science disciplines (such as geochemistry, mineralogy, geophysics, and structural geology) might all be used to understand, describe, and exploit an ore deposit. Economic geology is studied and practiced by geologists; however it is of prime interest to investment bankers, stock analysts and other professions such as engineers, environmental scientists and conservationists because of the far-reaching impact which extractive industries have upon society, the economy and the environment.

  • Die Lagerstättenkunde gehört zu den Geowissenschaften und befasst sich mit den natürlichen Anreicherungen von festen, flüssigen oder gasförmigen Rohstoffen (Ressourcen) innerhalb der Erdkruste, die für wirtschaftliche und/oder industrielle Zwecke genutzt werden können. Ihre Aufgabe besteht in der Versorgung der Industriegesellschaft mit diesen Rohstoffen. Aus diesem Grund wird der Begriff Lagerstättenkunde oft wie ein Synonym für Wirtschaftsgeologie (englisch: economic geology) verwandt. Als Teilgebiet der angewandten Geologie ist die Lagerstättenkunde auch für vielfältige Dienstleistungen während der bergbaulichen Gewinnung von Rohstoffen zuständig. (de)
