矿床的地球化学勘查是基于系统测定岩石、土壤沉积物、水和植物中与矿床有关的元素或元素组的。由于靠物理和化学的方式分散的这些元素的浓度异常高,往往说明靶区有进一步勘查的价值。在远离矿化源数公里的水系中,可能有富集贱金属的水系沉积物。正如Levinson所指出的,地球化学勘查有用的分析方法,就特定的计划而言,必须是足够准确和精确的,对于检出背景值必须是灵敏的,且必须是快速和廉价。从勘查 Geochemical prospecting is based on the systematic determination of ore-bearing elements or elements in rocks, soil sediments, water and plants. Due to the unusually high concentrations of these elements physically and chemically dispersed, it often indicates the value of the target area for further exploration. In systems that are several kilometers away from mineralization, there may be base metal-rich sediments. As Levinson points out, analytical methods useful for geochemical prospecting must be accurate and accurate enough for a given plan, must be sensitive to detect background values, and must be fast and inexpensive.
