2 Mineral exploration Direct inspection Remote detection
3 Remote detection Exploration geophysics Exploration geochemistry Indicator mineral methods
4 Remote detection Exploration geophysics Exploration geochemistry Chemical signal Indicator mineral methods
5 Remote detection Exploration geophysics Exploration geochemistry Chemical signal Indicator mineral methods Clastic signal
6 Chemical signal Transported by aqueous &/or gaseous processes Detected in media such as A horizon, B horizon, vegetation, or gases
7 Clastic signal Transported by mechanical processes Detected by sampling clastic sediments that have undergone minimal modification
8 Clastic sediments
9 Ideally: Indicator minerals Coarse-grained Specific to exploration target Visually distinctive Readily recovered Adequately abundant Adequately resistant
10 Indicator mineral methods Drift prospecting Drift exploration Tracing float Boulder tracing Stream sediment geochemistry Loaming Overburden sampling Till geochemistry Indicator mineral tracing
11 Indicator mineral surveys Exploration, mapping, research Regional reconnaissance Follow-up Assessment of geophysical targets In situ mineral chemistry
