Portuguese term
revelação de recursos geológicos
Portuguese to English
Tech/Engineering
Mining & Minerals / Gems
I need help with the equivalent term for revelação. Mining does not cut it because the term is also applied to the extraction of spring and mineral water.
Proposed translations
(English)

Would either of these terms fit in the broader context?

'mining and exploitation of geological resources'
I think this would cover spring water too, which isn't actually mined.
3 hrs
prospecting/exploration of geological resources
this could be one more option

prospecting is the search and discovery
exploration is also finding/discovery
for aproveitamento you can use development and/or utilization
