Comparison of mobile metal ion (MMI) geochemistry and conventional geochemistry at mineralized sites in different geological, climatological and regolith settings

Summary

Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) and conventional (total digestion) geochemical responses for nine different sites were compared for this study.

The results followed previous trends with 60% of cases having superior contrast and resolution for elements after partial digestion.

The case histories are included in an Atlas of MMI imprints.
