Book Description

This second volume of Novel Methods and Applications for Mineral Exploration was prompted by the great success of the first issue and the sustained interest of the exploration community. It is a brief but representative cross-section of the exciting developments in our understanding and practice of mineral exploration in areas such as geophysics, computational methods (specifically artificial intelligence and computer learning), and the development of novel analytical methods. As such, it will no doubt be highly useful, interesting, and thought-provoking for both the academia-based and the practicing exploration geologist.

Book Description

The principal aim of this book is to provide a wide range of information and a useful reference for researchers interested to investigate heavy mineral assemblages in different geological settings and for a variety of purposes. The methodological developments achieved in recent years for the identification of heavy minerals in a wide grain-size range are illustrated. All factors that affect heavy mineral concentration and relative proportions, including hydraulic sorting, mechanical abrasion, chemical weathering, and post-depositional dissolution, and all factors able to introduce analytical, environmental, or diagenetic bias are thoroughly addressed. A proper integration of multiple techniques including bulk sediment, multi-mineral, and single-mineral methods are discussed by renowned authors in their invited contributions.
