Applied Geochemistry: Advances in Mineral Exploration Techniques is a book targeting all levels of exploration geologists, geology students and geoscientists working in the mining industry. This reference book covers mineral exploration techniques from multiple dimensions, including the application of statistics - both principal component analysis and factor analysis - to multifractal modeling. The book explains these approaches step-by-step and gives their limitations. In addition to techniques and applications in mineral exploration, Applied Geochemistry describes mineral deposits and the theories underpinning their formation through worldwide case studies. - Includes both conventional and nonconventional techniques for mineral exploration, including lithogeochemical methods - Highlights the importance and applications of multifractal models, 3D - mineral prospectivity modeling - Features case studies from mines and mineral exploration ventures around the world
Athanas S. Macheyeki is a geologist, currently a Full-Time Commissioner for the Mining Commission in Tanzania and the former CEO of the Tanzania Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, former Manager of Applied Geology - Geological Survey of Tanzania, former Principal of the Mineral Resources Institute - Dodoma and former Head of Department of Geology - University of Dodoma. Prior to working for the government of Tanzania, he served as Senior Exploration geologist for Kabanga Nickel Company Ltd, Anglo American Company (Tanzania) and was one of the geologists who explored and evaluated the Buzwagi gold deposit, one of the world-class gold mines. He is the holder of BSc., MSc., and PhD in Geology and developer of lithogechemical ratios useful for Ni-Cu sulphide exploration, particularly on concealed sulphide ore bodies. He has authored/co-authored over 12 publications, most of which are in peer reviewed journals.
