This book provides information on radiogenic isotopes and their application to solve problems associated with mineral exploration surveys. It presents the basics to exploration geologists using radiogenic isotopes on establishing models for prospecting and creating new criteria for defining more favorable areas, reducing the exploration risk and saving financial investments.
The discovery of new mineral deposits is becoming increasingly difficult, and the use of new techniques is required to find deep and covered deposits. Radiogenic isotopes have the potential to act as ore index, helping to define the most favorable zones for finding certain types of mineral deposits, hence minimizing exploration risks.
- Advises readers on the selection of the best isotope systems for exploration, saving time and money
- Provides practical context and meaning to the results of surveys
- Includes case studies to provide real-world examples of the methods discussed in the book
