Potential mineral belts in global perspective in different geotectonic frame have been discussed in the book to suggest new mineral belts for modeling and geochemical exploration. Under such conditions, be it for land deposit or offshore deposit, application of statistical methods with qualitative and, wherever possible, quantitative earth science data for evaluation of mineral resources has become common in recent times. Computer-based mineral deposit modeling is the best suitable way out for predicting concealed mineralisation. Computerized approaches adopted for this has been discussed with Indian examples. However, the main objective of modeling is to delineate the body geometry of the deposit in three dimensions. The author’s endeavour here is to compile the different conventional and non-conventional techniques of exploration geochemistry, giving more emphasis to concealed mineral deposits. This book is written in a manner to serve as guide to field geologists, geochemists, students, research scholars and scientists interested in earth science for exploration of mineral deposits and for evaluation of their resources.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ashoke K Talapatra

Dr. Ashoke K. Talapatra, Ph.D. (1967) from Calcutta University, retired as Dy. Director General, Geological Survey of India. He has conducted systematic geological mapping, second-generation mapping, geochemical exploration for base metal sulphides and other mineral deposits besides R&D work on geochemical exploration techniques. He has also supervised the computer-based data processing work of different marine cruises. Specialised in geochemical exploration techniques applicable for concealed mineral deposits, Dr. Talapatra has participated as guest faculty in various training courses on 'Mineral deposits, Modelling' conducted by Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad. He has attended a number of national and international seminars, and workshops, and chaired number of technical sessions. Dr. Talapatra was awarded Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Society's Medal in 1963 and Prof. N.N. chatterjee Medal by Asiatic Society in 1969. He worked in a DST Project in Presidency College, Kolkata as a Retired Scientist between January 2002 and December 2003.
