New and game-changing developments in geochemical exploration

If you are a gold digger you want to find more gold. Therefore, you collect and analyse a maximum amount of, in particular, geological data and information as that would give you the best clues for finding new occurrences. Geological maps are the main communication tools for geologists. Such maps may be quite complex for non-geologists but even for fellow geoscientists as these often cramp a multitude of subsurface information into a 2D frame. Geochemical information ranks high on the list of most wanted information for exploration geologists. Such information normally comes from geochemical analyses of rock or soil samples. For regional inventories often geochemical data sets from stream sedimentsare used. Nation-or even continent-wide geochemical data sets have now become available for many regions on this planet.
