The textbook is intended for the economic geologist who deals with the evaluation of deposits at an early stage of developments ,it offers rules for quick and easy calculations based on the application of approximate data .it provides both the student and the geologist in the field with a complete set of rules and methods enabling them to perform a …
This Course Is Designed to provide a basic framework in applide geology and mineral exploration upon which participants can build during their subsequent training in australia
The publication of this volume marks amilestone for the series .as part of the preamble to the first volume ,published just over 25 years ago ,my predecessor and founding editor of the series ,gerry govett ,listed the titles of the volumes he envisaged in the the series .these would build a comprehencive set of handbooks cevering the various operati…
This report focuses much on regional geochemistry as a system for mapping of the secondary environment. The reasons for this are that geochemistry has during the past decade found applications far beyond the traditional ones in the search for mineral commodities. The fields that applied-- geochemistry currently finds applications to are primarily:
*…
In recent years two new classifications of Cale Alkalie granitoids have evolved in the eastern hemisphere and are currently influencing exploration concepts, particularly in SE Asia. This note arises from considerations of their possible appliction to the further exploration of the pre-Quaternary part of Sumatra for which a Regional Geolog~cal an…
Orientation studies indicate that stream-sediment geochemistry is a potentially useful exploration tec~ique in the Kepala Burung region of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Previously located uranium anomalies and small zones of known base-metal sulphide. mineralisation, are reflected in anomalous concen• trations of these elements in•the stream sedim…

Over the past several decades the philosophy of exploration for oil and gas has pro• gressively changed from drilling on surface seepages to the concept of structural traps, com• plemented later by considerations of sedimentology in relation to the development of reser• voirs, which led to the concept of stratigraphic traps. …
Shortly after the promulgation of the Foreign Capital• Investment Law in 1967, the Government pursued an unconventional policy to speed up mineral exploration. International tenders were issued to develop certain areas. with tin and nickel potential, and shortly thereafter 53 blocks…
WORLD URANIUM RESOURCES, PRODUCTION AND DEMAND.
Reasonably assured resources of uranium in WOCA (World Outside the Centrally
Plannned Economies Area) countries recoverable at less than US $80/kg U increased by about 9%
between 1983 and 1985 and currently stand at 1.5 million tonnes. Uranium also exists in
