Mapping with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) can offer more than just the spatial distribution of elements: rich spectral information also enables mineral recognition. In present study, statistical approaches were used for recognition spodumene from lithium pegmatite ores. A broad range (280–820 nm) multiple lines was first to establish methods based on vertex component analysis (VC...

Estimates of elemental and mineralogical abundances from geochemical logs are compared to preliminary chemical and modal analyses from cores in the Cajon Pass Scientific Drillhole. Accuracies of log-computed weight percent oxide and mineralogy determinations range from 10 to 30%.
