@theuxyeti, here is another post for you to geek out about

I can't wait to see what they come up with for the life support infrastructure. One thing I am curious about, as mining is one of the primary stated goals, are there particular precious metals or other mineral resources that are found in higher concentrations on Mars? I updated the Curie showcase post just now to include a link to this post as well as the previous two in this series.

Cheers - Carl

Since Mars is believed to have volcanic activity in the past, there is a potential of having these precious metals. As of yet, however, robotic missions have only touched on the surface of Mars. Since water is the primary focus to support explorers, NASA is teaming up with the European Space Agency to send the Mars Express mission. With this mission will be the Beagle 2 which will act like a mole to dig down to 3 feet. As more sophisticated drilling capabilities are developed, the potential for finding such minerals will be possible.
