Earth Science: Geochemistry Engineering & Materials: Other Engineering Disciplines:Mining Engineering Geochemical Prospecting he use of chemical properties of naturally occurring substances (including rocks, glacial debris, soils, stream sediments, waters, vegetation, and air) as aids in a search for economic deposits of metallic minerals or hydrocarbons. In exploration programs, Geochemical techniques are generally integrated with geological and geophysical surveys. See also: Geophysical exploration History Many fundamental principles of geology and chemistry were known in antiquity, and references to the use of chemistry in the search for mineral deposits are not infrequent in both classical and Renaissance literature. The techniques of modern Geochemical Prospecting originated in the Soviet Union and Scandinavia, where extensive research into methodology was conducted during the 1930s.
