    This document describes various structural methods used in mineral exploration, including: 1) Collection of orientation data such as strike/dip of beds, faults, veins, and other structural features. 2) Analysis of structural data through methods like slickenline histograms to determine dominant structural regimes, and statistical analysis to determine average orientations of fabric elements. 3) Paleo-stress modeling techniques including M-plane and fault-kinematic analysis to determine past stress fields and extension directions. 4) Structural pattern recognition on maps and cross-sections to identify patterns like en echelon veins that may indicate mineralization. 5) Creation of fault-vein longitudinal sections to contour ore grade,
