Sampling and sample processing during fluorometric survey in Eastern Transbaikalia

Abstract

At lithochemical searches of deposits of fluorspar by secondary halos of fluorine scattering it is important to solve the question about optimum depth of lithochemical sampling and character of the material taken in the sample from eluvial-deluvial deposits. Analysis of the results of production work shows that errors in the methodology of lithochemical sampling and processing of lithochemical samples often lead to unfortunate blunders and reduce the efficiency of prospecting.
