     "text": "The contiguous United States represents a very mature exploration/mining terrane, especially with respect to conventional pluton related and epithermal deposits. In this type of environment, strategically significant and economically viable mineral deposits are more likely to be found concealed by basin sediments or other types of rocks. Recent mineral deposit discoveries, such as Resolution and Dragoon in Arizona, emphasize this. In Australia, another mature exploration/mining terrane, depth of cover for brownfield mineral deposits has increased from under 100 m in 1950 to over 800 m in 2012. Assessment of undiscovered mineral resources in the U.S. requires the ability to assess concealed mineral deposits. Research needs to be performed to develop ways to objectively delineate areas permissive for undiscovered mineral resources remotely through cover based on geophysics and extrapolated geology."

     "text": "Over the last 20 years, USGS geophysical research has focused on developing technologies for assessing mineral deposits concealed by basin sediments. This project incorporates new technologies to look at metallogeny and regional structure and tectonics in the Great Basin with a special emphasis on assessing concealed mineral deposits. About 60% of land surface in the Great Basin is covered by Cenozoic basin fill and the potential for concealed deposits is extremely large. Research into the relationship between metallogeny and tectonics in the Great basin has been going on for over a century, however the incorporation of new technologies allows us to interpret data in ways that they have not been interpreted before."
