This text examines the principles and applications of drainage geochemistry in mineral exploration blending theoretical considerations and practical implementations.
The considerable exploration success achieved by geochemistry over the last several decades - and still continuing - has provided both the basis and rationale for the Handbook of Exploration Geochemistry series, including Volume 6, "Drainage Geochemistry in Mineral Exploration". With contributions from 25 experts of global professional experience in drainage geochemistry, this book is an appraisal of the state of the art in the use of surface and sub-surface waters, stream and lake sediments, heavy minerals for mineral exploration in tropical rain forests, temperate glaciated terrains, mountain chains, arid deserts and regions of agricultural and industrial pollution. Additional attention is given to gold and uranium exploration, and to the growing role of drainage geochemistry as a multi-purpose environmental mapping technique with applications in human health studies, ore deposit modelling and pollution monitoring. It comprises 16 chapters, more than 250 figures and a bibliography of some 1600 references.

Part 1 Principles underlying drainage geochemistry: introduction - the foundations of modern drainage geochemistry, J. Plant and M. Hale; mineral deposit models and primary rock geochemical characteristics, J. Plant and J. Tarney; modifications to the geochemical signatures of ore deposits and their associated rocks in different surface environments, J. Plant and R.W. Raiswell; strategic choices in drainage geochemistry, M. Hale. Part 2 Drainage geochemistry sample media: stream sediments in mineral exploration, R.T. Ottesen and P.K. Theobald; heavy-mineral concentrates in geochemical exploration, H. Stendal and P.K. Theobald; lake sediment sampling in mineral exploration, E.M. Cameron; natural waters as sample media in drainage geochemistry, A. Giblin. Part 3 Drainage geochemistry for different natural environments: drainage geochemistry in glaciated terrain, A. Bjorklund et al; drainage geochemistry in tropical rain forest terrains, J.D. Appleton and J. Ridgway; drainage geochemistry in arid regions, R.H. Mazzucchelli; drainage geochemistry in young folded mountain belts, E. Wilhelm and D. Artignan. Part 4 Drainage geochemistry for specific applications: drainage geochemistry in contaminated terrains, D.C. Cooper and I. Thornton; drainage geochemistry in gold exploration, I. Nichol et al; drainage geochemistry in uranium exploration, A.W. Rose; selective extraction and contrasting sample media in drainage geochemistry, J.S. Coats et al.
