Geochemical methods of prospecting for and evaluation of minerals areapplied widely today at all stages of geological exploration. However,geochemical methods of prospecting for many classes of non-metallicminerals have not been elaborated.
This book is a completely revised, updated and expanded edition ofthe publication by the same authors, which was published in 1987. Thecontains a collection the latest data on geochemical prospecting fornon-metals, which is valuable in view of the anticipated increase ofconsumption and utilization of non-metallic minerals in the future.
The information on various types of raw material is presented in thefollowing sequence: 1) general data (genetic types, conditions offormation, geological prospecting indications); 2) indicator mineralsand elements; 3) geochemical methods of prospecting along dispersiontrains and haloes, plus hydrogeochemical and geobotanical methods; 4)primary endogenic haloes; 5) vertical geochemical zonality; 6) methods,stages and sequence of work.
This book will be of value and interest to geologists in both academiaand industry.
