摘要

The lack of precision and accuracy in geochemical analysis is not necessarily a result of poor laboratory work. As often as not, the causes are the basic properties of minerals and elements and their behavior in the environment. The effects of uneven mineral distribution in a sample can be calculated. Even a simple, idealized approach, as shown here, serves its purpose. It provides an idea of the effects to be expected on analytical data by sample nonhomogeneity, by the grain size or nugget effect. Also, such information is useful in the design of a sampling program, as shown in Table 2 (these are recalculations of the Table 1 figures). However, such calculations, simple or sophisticated as they may be, remain meaningless if they are not put into a geochemi-cal context, if geochemical exploration is not taken as a trans-disciplinary subject. Data like those in Tables 1 and 2 are useful only in conjunction with a characterization of the geochemical behavior of minerals and elements, as given in the "classification." Details of the natural environment of the sampled area and technical details on sampling, sample preparation and analysis are other essentials in data interpretation. This demonstrates the transdisciplinary character of geochemical exploration, which requires knowledge and appreciation of mineralogy, petrology, geology, chemistry, physics, physicochemistry as well as field and laboratory techniques. Only on such a basis, design of a geochemical program and interpretation of analytical data will lead to meaningful results. Unfortunately, experience shows that this multidisciplinary approach is not standard practice. Misinterpretation or a total reject of a particular set of data are frequent results. How many mineralizations may have been missed because a single-point high Au "anomaly" in a favorable environment could not be confirmed by the laboratory?
