the gold mineralization in kurdistan province of iran was classified as shear zone gold type by some of the researchers. in the current study, the geochemical samples collected from the secondary environment, stream sediments, at the sw of saqquez area were used to investigate the geochemical characteristics of the gold mineralized zones in this environment. the multi-variant statistical analys...

anomaly recognition has always been a prominent subject in preliminary geochemical explorations. among the regional geochemical data processing, there are a range of statistical and data mining techniques as well as different mapping methods, which serve as presentations of the outputs. the outlier’s values are of interest in the investigations where data are gathered under controlled condition...

Surface geological and geochemical mapping have been key technical contributors to many gold discoveries over the past 25 years. However, in the last ten years there has been a growing emphasis on using geophysical techniques to compliment them in covered terrains. As the search for gold deposits under covered areas expands, there will be increasing emphasis on integrating the geoscientific dis...

The purpose of mineral exploration is to find ore deposits. The main aim of this work is to use the fuzzy inference system to integrate the exploration layers including the geological, remote sensing, geochemical, and magnetic data. The studied area was the porphyry copper deposit of the Kahang area in the preliminary stage of exploration. Overlaying of rock units and tectonic layers were used ...

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 an...

Geochemical studies and surveys conducted by the Geological Survey of Canada have provided considerable information about the natural geochemical variations in glacial drift, lake sediments, and lake waters in south-central District of Keewatin. In addition to their intended contribution to mineral exploration, these activities yielded much basic background data that may be applied to the plann...

Subsurface waters have been classified into meteoric water, ocean water, evolved connate water, magmatic water and juvenile water. Geothermal water is mostly meteoric and oceanic water although andesitic waters near subduction areas often contain significant proportions of evolved connate and magmatic waters. Geothermal waters have been classified with respect to their anion and cation contents...

Together with generalized self-similarity and the fractal spectrum, local singularity analysis has been introduced as one part of the new 3S principle and technique for mineral resource assessment based on multifractal modeling, which has been demonstrated to be useful for anomaly delineation. Local singularity is used in this paper to characterize the property of multifractal distribution patt...
