This book is dedicated to late Prof. Gabor Gaál, the coordinator of the Promine project. Gabor passed away during the very final stages of the Promine project in June 2013, at the age of 74. Without Gabor the Promine project, and hence, this book would not have been realized. Gabor, a structural geologist and economic geologist by profession, early in his life realized the importance of three-dimensional understanding of geological features. In his career in Finland, with among others the Geological Survey of Finland, he advocated 3D interpretations and predictive metallogeny as key elements in understanding ore deposits. His personality can be summarized as “everything is possible if you believe in it”. This view also made Gabor the obvious coordinator of a multidisciplinary project like Promine, bringing hundreds of scientists and engineers from academia, research institutes and industry together to form and execute the project Promine that won the best FP7 project award at the Industrial Technologies 2014 Conference.
