Objective
TO DETECT DEEP SULPHIDE DEPOSITS USING GASGEOCHEMICAL METHODS. GASGEOCHEMICAL METHODS FOR THE EXPLORATION OF DEEP SEATED ORE DEPOSITS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED BY BRG, TOGETHER WITH BRGM, UNDER THE PRIMARY RAW MATERIALS PROGRAMME, 1978-1981. THIS COOPERATION IS TO BE INTENSIFIED. THIS COLLABORATIVE PROJECT WILL BE CONTINUED IN COOPERATION WITH IGS (CONTRACT MSM 100).
COMPARISON OF DOFFERENT METHODS:
BRG : HEADSPACE ANALYSIS OF SOILSAMPLES: SULFUR GASES, HYDROCARBONS AND HG.
GAS SAMPLING IN THE FIELD: HG.
BRGM : HEADSPACE ANALYSIS OF SOIL SAMPLES: COS AND HG. GAS SAMPLING IN THE FIELD: HG, O2, CO2.
AREAS OF INVESTIGATION:
1. AREAS OF GLACIATED TERRAIN IN IRELAND (1983): THE AREA OF INVESTIGATION SHALL COMPRISE A KNOWN ORE DEPOSITS (NAVAN) AS WELL AS A PROSPECTING AREA.
2. MINERALIZATION IN THE SOUTH OF MASSIF CENTRAL (1984).
3. PROSPECTING AREA IN THE RHENOHERCYNIAN ZONE, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY (1983): ON THE BASIS OF GAS DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS IN THE AREA OF MEGGEN, A NEW TARGET IS TO BE INVESTIGATED (GUENTEROD OR LOHRHEIM).
4. ORE ZONE IN GREECE (1984): PROSPECTING USING HG (I.G.M.E.,ATHENS) AND OTHER VOLATILES (BRG,BRGM) IN AN AREA WHICH WILL BE SELECTED.
DATA EVALUATION:
A SPECIAL SOFWARE PACKAGE FOR GASGEOCHEMICAL EXPLORATION SHALL FACILITATE THE IMPROVEMENT OF DATA GATHERING AND EVALUATION IN THE PROJECT AREAS USING A MOBILE MICROCOMPUTER SYSTEM.
