Geochemical Exploration Of Mineral Deposits [Hardcover] [May 01, 2014] Saul Jones

Geochemical prospecting for minerals in- cludes any method of mineral exploration based on systematic measurement of the chemical properties of a naturally occurring material. The purpose of the measurements is the location of geochemical anomalies or of areas where the chemical pattern indicates the presence of ore in the vicinity. Anomalies may be formed either at depth by igneous and metamorphic processes or at the earth’s surface by agents of weathering, erosion, and surficial transportation. In this book we discussed about geochemical exploration of mineral deposits.
