You do extensive exploration programs! First step is identifying a targeted area for exploration using remote sensing equipment, next you pin point hot spots IDed by the sensing and do on the ground exploration / prospecting. After that, if it looks promising enough, further work such as diamond drilling locates an ore bearing structure, than further drilling outlines it and figures out if its economically viable along with a host of wider studies in labs and in office blocks.

Just finding the mine is one thing, funding its construction and getting locals to go along with it is another story.
