Elements of exploration geochemistry -- Types of ore deposits and their origins -- Conventional and nonconventional exploration techniques - principles -- Application of nonconventional mineral exploration techniques: case studies.
Summary:
Applied Geochemistry: Advances in Mineral Exploration Techniques is a book targeting all levels of exploration geologists, geology students and geoscientists working in the mining industry. This reference book covers mineral exploration techniques from multiple dimensions, including the application of statistics - both principal component analysis and factor analysis - to multifractal modeling. The book explains these approaches step-by-step and gives their limitations. In addition to techniques and applications in mineral exploration, the book describes mineral deposits and the theories underpinning their formation through worldwide case studies.
