Summary Economically viable concentrations of mineral resources are uncommon in Earth's crust. Most ore deposits that were mined in the past or are currently being extracted were found at or near Earth's surface, often serendipitously. To meet the future demand for mineral resources, exploration success hinges on identifying targets at depth. Achieving this requires accurate & informed models of the Earth's crust that are consistent with all available geological, geochemical & geophysical information. Contributions to this volume address the future resources challenge by (i) applying advanced microscale geochemical detection & characterization methods, (ii) introducing more rigorous 3D Earth models, (iii) exploring critical behaviour & coupled processes, (iv) evaluating the role of geodynamic & tectonic setting & (v) applying 3D structural models to characterize specific ore-forming systems.
