Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geophysical methods play important roles in the identification and resource assessment of minerals and their physical properties. So, a combination of two or more approaches with geological, petrophysical, drilling, and simulation data verifies much more reliable results (integrated approaches). This integration ensures more prominent precision and higher reliability of the deduced model in 2D or 3D for subsurface structures. `Mineral exploration and research are important to find and incorporate new reserves, in response to a growing demand for increasing the national income for different countries. So, the available methods (geophysical, geological mapping, soil and rock sampling, chemical analysis, and remote sensing) achieve these targets. In this Special Issue, we aim to present and highlight the advanced approaches to characterize and describe various regions around the world to explore economic minerals.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
