Abstract
Geological mapping remains one of the most important methods of recording mine geology, in particular for delineating geological structures and accurately locating geological contacts. This activity is important for understanding favourable geological features controlling distribution of the economic minerals which is essential for accurate exploitation of the deposits. Principles of the mine mapping and the most common tools are discussed in this chapter.
