Open file report 197 is a second impression (second printing) of CRC LEME restricted report 195R. It was produced in July 2003 for Newmont Australia. The period of confidentiality has now expired. The association between trace elements and regolith minerals has been studied at the Scuddles Cu-Zn sulphide deposit Golden Grove, Western Australia. The Scuddles deposit is located in the Golden Grove district in the Murchison province of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. The mineralogy and the trace element abundance were characterised using a combination of bulk and in situ micro-analytical techniques.The determination of low abundance elements in the minerals was carried out with in situ Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).

This comprehensive reference on the fundamentals of regolith geoscience describes how regolith is developed from parental rocks and emphasises the importance of chemical, physical, water and biological processes in regolith formation. It provides details for mapping regolith landforms, as well as objective information on applications in mineral exploration and natural resource management. Regolith Science also provides a concise history of weathering through time in Australia. It includes previously unpublished information on elemental abundances in regolith materials along with detailed information on soil degradation processes such as acid sulfate soils. Written by experts in the field, Regolith Science summarises research carried out over a 13-year period within the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration. This book will be a valuable resource for scientists and graduate/postgraduate students in geology, geography and soil science, professionals in the exploration industry and natural resources management. This paperback edition is a reprint of the original hardback published in October 2008.

Hardbound. The use of exploration geochemistry has increased enormously in the last decade. The present volume specifically addresses those geochemical exploration practices appropriate for tropical, sub-tropical and adjacent areas - in environments ranging from rainforest to desert. Practical recommendations are made for the optimization of sampling, and analytical and interpretational procedures for exploration according to the particular nature of tropically weathered terrains. The underlying theme is the recognition that regions between 35N and 35S in particular have a common history of deep chemical weathering and lateritization during the late Mesozoic and early Tertiary. This has had a profound and lasting effect, so that the surface geochemical expressions of mineralization throughout these regions have many similar features, with local modification due to more recent weathering under changed climates.The volume discusses the da
