Orientation Study of Surface Geochemical Methods to Assist in the Exploration for Platinum Group Metals in the Whiterocks Mountain Alkalic Complex, Near Kelowna, British Columbia (82L/4)

چکیده
The surface geochemical response to bedrock containing elevated levels of the platinum group elements (PGE) is commonly so subtle that standard geochemical methods are insufficiently sensitive to assist the exploration geologist. At the Geological Survey of Canada, recent research on analytical methods by one of us (GEMH) has been directed toward the development of a selective leach of soils and sediments that will provide improved methodology for the detection of precious metals.

Prediction of dispersed mineralization zone in depth using frequency domain of surface geochemical data
Discrimination of the blind and dispersed mineralization deposits is a challenging problem in geochemical exploration. The frequency domain (FD) of the surface geochemical data can solve this important issue. This new exploratory information can be achieved using the interpretation of FD of geochemical data, which is impossible in spatial domain. In this research work, FD of the surface geochem...
متن کاملEffect of Co-existing Heavy Metals and Natural Organic Matter on Sorption/Desorption of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil: A Review
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abundant in mixed contaminant sites, often coexist with heavy metals. The fate and remediation of PAHs depend heavily on the sorption and desorption behavior of these contaminants. The sorption behavior can in turn be highly affected by certain soil components and properties, such as soil organic matter (SOM) and the presence of heavy metals. Through rev...

متن کاملPrediction of mineral deposit model and identification of mineralization trend in depth using frequency domain of surface geochemical data in Dalli Cu-Au porphyry deposit
In this research work, the frequency domain (FD) of surface geochemical data was analyzed to decompose the complex geochemical patterns related to different depths of the mineral deposit. In order to predict the variation in mineralization in the depth and identify the deep geochemical anomalies and blind mineralization using the surface geochemical data for the Dalli Cu-Au porphyry deposit, a ...
متن کاملDeciding Graph non-Hamiltonicity via a Closure Algorithm
We present a matching and LP based heuristic algorithm that decides graph non-Hamiltonicity. Each of the n! Hamilton cycles in a complete directed graph on n + 1 vertices corresponds with each of the n! n-permutation matrices P, such that pu,i = 1 if and only if the ith arc in a cycle enters vertex u, starting and ending at vertex n + 1. A graph instance (G) is initially coded as exclusion set ...
