Geochemistry In Mineral Exploration: Harper's Geoscience Series

Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration is a comprehensive guide to the use of geochemical techniques in the search for mineral deposits. Written by renowned geologist and geochemist Herbert Edwin Hawkes, this book is part of the Harper's Geoscience Series and is widely regarded as one of the most important works on the subject.The book covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of geochemistry to the practical applications of geochemical techniques in mineral exploration. It begins with an introduction to the geology of mineral deposits and the role of geochemistry in their formation. The book then goes on to describe the various geochemical techniques used in mineral exploration, including sampling and analysis methods, as well as the interpretation of geochemical data.In addition to providing a detailed overview of geochemical techniques, the book also includes case studies that illustrate how these techniques have been used to discover and evaluate mineral deposits around the world. These case studies cover a wide range of commodities, including gold, copper, nickel, and uranium, and provide valuable insights into the practical application of geochemistry in mineral exploration.Overall, Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration is an essential resource for geologists, geochemists, and mining professionals who are involved in the search for mineral deposits. It provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and techniques of geochemistry, as well as practical guidance on their application in mineral exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
