Use of semi-quantitative spectral analysis for some geochemical conclusions

Abstract

For successful interpretation of the results of any metallometric survey (including those based on scattering streams) it is necessary, in addition to taking into account geological, geomorphological and other conditions, to know the local clarks of the desired elements and their geochemical behavior in a particular natural environment. Without this, it is impossible to correctly select the “normal field”, to assess the prospectivity of anomalous concentrations, to use the paragenetic associations of elements characteristic of the area for prospecting purposes. All these issues are especially acute at the first stages of prospecting: during ground verification of anomalies detected by aerial survey, during the study of little-studied areas, as well as during regional metallogenetic constructions.
