26th August, 2020
– Preparation, treatment, and use of large multi-element geochem. datasets (e.g. soil, assay).
– Application of principle component analysis (PCA) to gold exploration.

Mineral exploration techniques in weathered and covered terrains
Walid Salama, CSIRO
– Weathering can enrich metal resources and disperse geochemical tracers.
– Depending on cover depth, laterites, biological mechanisms (e.g. plants, termites), or geological interfaces can be used for geochemical pathfinding.
