Abstract
Successful exploration leads to the development of a mine for extraction of the ore and of a processing facility to transform the ore into a marketable product. The evolution toward this stage, and some of the costs involved in developing a mine, are discussed in Chapter 2 and illustrated in Figures 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.
