“The first edition with the 1980 supplement … provides the best available review of the current status of geochemical methods of exploration. It should be in the library of all persons engaged in the search for metallic mineral resources.”
Eion Cameron (Geological Survey of Canada), Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta
“This volume is broad in its coverage, extremely up-to-date, and is presently the only available text book in exploration geochemistry that meets these criteria. It will make a fine addition to the library of both students and practicing professionals.”
