# Geologist The Geologist is a citizen who has a [Geologist Certificate](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/badges/geologist-certificate.md). Geologists are great seekers who are responsible for discovering new places suitable for the installation of mines. The Geologist Certificate allows the player to produce new [Mine ](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/mine.md)NFTs. Besides, Geologists can open new slots in the [Landlords](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/game-roles/landlord.md) [Areas ](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/areas.md)for further mine installation there. The probability of a new Geologist appearing is higher, as the level of the [Factory ](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/factory.md)that produces the equipment is higher. * To become a geologist, the player needs to collect nine pages of a [Geologist Diploma](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/badges/geologists-diploma-page.md) and exchange them for a Geologist Certificate in the Government. * In case of a successful mine opening, the Geologist receives a mine, and the Landlord opens an empty mine slot on their Area. * Geologists spend DMP/DME for the mine discovery process. ![](/files/-MhJslhT4kTo6_r4xPdP) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
