Geochemical Prospecting & Exploration
performed by systematic measurements of one or more
chemical
parameters, usually in traces, of naturally
occurring material in
the Earth’s crust

Primary Dispersion
dispersion by aqueous fluids;
expression of alteration and zoning

5
Physical dispersion/weathering
the effect of purely mechanical agencies such as the movement of material by stream or glacial action.
6
Chemical dispersion/weathering
generates fractions of widely differing chemical composition
