This document summarizes a seminar on geological ground prospecting methods and indications. The seminar was guided by Dr. M S Sethumadhav and presented by MOAMENLA L. It discusses various prospecting criteria and methods, including examining deposit outcrops, mechanical aureoles of ore fragments, erratic boulders, and prospecting in colluvium and alluvium. Key stages in ground prospecting are locating ore mineral in sediments, examining mechanical aureoles, and finding the deposit outcrop. Indicator minerals can directly show the presence of specific mineralization.
