Radiogenic Isotopes Applied to Mineral Exploration

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 will provide information on radiogenic isotopes application to solve problems associated with mineral exploration surveys. 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. Radiogenic Isotopes Applied to Mineral Exploration: A Practical Guide provides 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. Advises readers on the selection of the best isotope systems for exploration, saving time and money Provides practical context and meaning to the results of surveys Includes case studies to provide real-world examples of the methods discussed in the book
