Abstract

As an important prospecting technique and an effective means for obtaining mineralization data,geochemical exploration has been proved to be very successful in mineral exploration.This paper focuses on commenting the present research situation and application effect of some new methods such as structural superimposed halos method,heat released mercury method,separatory electro-geochemistry method,enzyme leach,and geogas and selective leaching of mobile metals method.It is emphasized that any one of these methods has its unique applicability and that,in the practical application,we should pay attention to the cooperation of geochemical exploration,geological-geophysical exploration and remote sensing and depend on the study of geological background so as to demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of geochemical exploration.
