Although diamonds can occur in aTluvial gravels and beach sands, their only primary source is kimberlite. Approximately 88 per• cent of the world's diamond production comes from the primary source, so it is important to understand the tectonic controls of kimberlite emplacement. Any tectonic model proposed has to take cognisance of the empirical…
Published multi-element stream-sediment exploration geochemical data from new brunswick are used to illustrate some pitfalls of correlation and regression. Large matrics of correlation coefficients. are easly mass-produced.These coefficient are susceptible to suprious values, clustering of samples and the effect of other variables on the relation un…
Fundamental questions of metallogenetic investigations are first donsidered. The difference betwen factors and indicators in metallogenetic analysis is discuss.Metallogenetic factors are geological phenomena which condition the formation of deposits.They are its cause.
An om a l .i es of s u l f u r d i ox i de and other gases have been defined, by direct measurement, around various sulfide bodies. These readings were made (1) in soil gas and (2) in the atmos• phere, from bo…
Manganese oxide coatings on gravels from 255 sites on tributary streams in the genesee river watershed were analyzed for Mn, Fe, Zn, Cd, Co, Ni, Pb and Cu. The result were compared with data on bedrock geology, surficial geology and land use, using factor analysis and stepwise multiple regression. All metals except Pb show strong positive correlatio…

Investigations of the acid volcanic rocks in New• Zealand have shown that the must promising perlite deposits are the glassy rhyolites of the Taupo-Rotorua and Tuirua districts. Tl,c Lest-grade rock is at Ongaroto, Maroa, Tairua, and Lake lfotoma. Large quantities …
The Calaveritas quadrangle is in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, east of the Mother Lode gold belt. Most of the quadrangle is underlain by a strongly de• formed bedrock complex that is locally covered by small deposits of undeformed stream gravels and rhyolite tuff.
The bedrock complex consists of met…
