Geochemical Methods of Prospecting for Non-Metallic Minerals

<p>Geochemical methods of prospecting for and evaluation of minerals are applied widely today at all stages of geological exploration. However geochemical methods of prospecting for many classes of non-metallic minerals have not been elaborated. <br><br><br><br>This book is a completely revised updated and expanded edition of the publication by the same authors which was published in 1987. The contains a collection the latest data on geochemical prospecting for non-metals which is valuable in view of the anticipated increase of consumption and utilization of non-metallic minerals in the future. <br><br><br><br>The information on various types of raw material is presented in the following sequence: 1) general data (genetic types conditions of formation geological prospecting indications); 2) indicator minerals and elements; 3) geochemical methods of prospecting along dispersion trains and haloes plus hydrogeochemical and geobotanical methods; 4) primary endogenic haloes; 5) vertical geochemical zonality; 6) methods stages and sequence of work.</p>
