Thorton, I; Howarth, R J

This book explores geochemical achievements in mineral exploration covering both current exploration status and future potential. Early chapters focus on exploration south of the equator, geochemical patterns in the granite terrain of Zimbabwe, and the special problems of exploring for gold. Other topics include detection of concealed mineral and energy resources by vapor chemistry, future use of inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, exploration in the shallow marine environment, deep sea mineral deposits, and geochemistry in relation to animal as well as human health.
