Natural resource exploration is the process of searching for valuable materials found in nature, such as minerals, oil, natural gas, and water. This involves various techniques, including geological surveys, drilling, and sampling, to identify and assess the quantity and quality of these resources. Once potential sites are identified, companies often conduct further studies to evaluate the economic viability of extracting these resources. Successful exploration can lead to the development of new industries and job opportunities, while also raising concerns about environmental impacts and sustainability.
