Full Description
Radiogenic Isotopes Applied to Mineral Exploration: A Practical Guide assists mineral exploration geologists, students and professors in the field of metallogeny and ore deposits. 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.
