Economic geology is the study of economically valuable materials from the Earth, such as fuels and metals. It is a branch of geology that is of interest to industry and the economy. Economic geology utilizes tools from other branches of geology, including geochemistry, mineralogy, geophysics, petrology, and structural geology to understand the distribution and formation of resources. While studied by geologists, economic geology also impacts other fields like engineering, environmental science, and finance due to the wide-reaching effects of extractive industries.

Economic geology
Economic geology is the study of fuels,
metals, and other materials from the earth
that are of interest to industry or the
economy in general.

Geo Chemistry
Geochemistry is the science that uses the tools and
principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms
behind major geological systems such as the Earth's
crust and its oceans

Mineralogy
Mineralogy is a subset of geology specializing in the
scientific study of crystal structure, and physical
(including optical) properties of minerals. Specific studies
within mineralogy include the processes of mineral origin
and formation, classification of minerals, their
geographical distribution, as well as their utilization.

Geophysics
Geophysics deals the study of the Earth using
quantitative physical methods.

Petrology is the branch of geology that studies the
origin, composition, distribution and structure
of rocks.

Structural geology
Structural geology is the study of the three-
dimensional distribution of rocks units with respect
to their deformational histories. The primary goal of
structural geology is to use measurements of
present-day rocks geometries to uncover
information about the history of deformation in the
rocks, and ultimately, to understand the stress
field that resulted in the observed strain and
geometries.

conclusion
Economic geology is studied and practiced by
geologists. However it is of prime interest
to investment bankers, stock analysts and other
professions such as engineers, environmental
scientists, and conservationists because of the far-
reaching impact that extractive industries have on
society, the economy, and the environment.
