Valuable Ore Resource on Mars

Joseph Miura Applin*

Mining companies conduct geochemical and mineralogical analysis on soil and drill samples. Geophysical methods like seismic, magnetic and airborne surveys, are commonly will not detect and delineate underground ore bodies. The surface of Mars has fascinated generations of science and therefore the hope of a suitable hostile, extra-terrestrial colony as humanity begins its long journey towards an interplanetary civilization referred to as bio signature. Mineralization on Mars our nearest neighbor in space and really similar to Earth in many ways. Mars surface temperature and pressure hovers round the point liquid water considered essential for life can exist. Microbes on Earth use carotenoids to guard themselves from harmful UV light and there's a great need for that on Mars because its atmosphere is so thin it doesn’t filter out the UV light coming from the sun. Mars is assumed to contain numerous mineral resources like magnesium, aluminum, titanium, iron, chromium, lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and lots of more.
