Designed for geologists and engineers engaged specifically in the search for gold deposits of all types and as a reference for academics in higher schools of learning, Handbook of gold exploration and evaluation provides principles and detailed explanations that underpin the correct interpretation of day-to-day experience in the field. Problems are addressed with regard to the analysis, interpretation and understanding of the general framework within which both primary and secondary gold resources are explored, developed and exploited. Handbook of gold exploration and evaluation covers a comprehensive range of topics including the nature and history of gold, geology of gold ore deposits, gold deposition in the weathering environment, sedimentation and detrital gold, gold exploration, lateritic and placer gold sampling, mine planning and practise for shallow deposits, metallurgical processes and design, and evaluation, risk and feasibility. Covers the nature and history of gold Addresses problems with regard to the framework in which gold resources are explored, developed and exploited Discusses topics including the geology of gold ore deposits, metallurgical processes and design, evaluation, risk and feasibility
The tools described in this handbook will greatly improve the probability of meeting your projections and minimizing project execution capital cost blowout that has become so prevalent in this industry in recent years.
For the non-professional who is keen to invest in resource companies, this book will also help remove some of the mystique that often surrounds technical disciplines.
This handbook summarizes the main advances in our understanding of marine minerals and concentrates on the deposits of proven economic potential.
Further, the book addresses the evaluation of mineral resources, from sampling techniques to the economic evaluation of mining projects (i.e. types and density of sampling, mean grade definition and calculation, Sichel’s estimator, ...

Recent improvements of LA-ICP-MS have opened new avenues of research that are explored in this volume. This book explores different aspects of LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry).
The second correction compensates for the very broad-scale variations in the earth's gravitational field – this correction is only significant in regional surveys. The third correction, much the most important one, corrects for ...
