Applied Geochemistry Advances in Mineral Exploration Techniques
Auteurs : Macheyeki Athanas S., Kafumu Dalaly Peter, Li Xiaohui, Yuan Feng
Applied Geochemistry: Advances in Mineral Exploration Techniques is a book targeting all levels of exploration geologists, geology students and geoscientists working in the mining industry. This reference book covers mineral exploration techniques from multiple dimensions, including the application of statistics ? both principal component analysis and factor analysis - to multifractal modeling. The book explains these approaches step-by-step and gives their limitations. In addition to techniques and applications in mineral exploration, Applied Geochemistry describes mineral deposits and the theories underpinning their formation through worldwide case studies.

Prior to working for the government of Tanzania, he served as Senior Exploration geologist for Kabanga Nickel Company Ltd, Anglo American Company (Tanzania) and was one of the geologists who explored and evaluated the Buzwagi gold deposit, one of the world-class gold mines.
He is the holder of BSc., MSc., and PhD in Geology and developer of lithogechemical ratios useful for Ni-Cu sulphide exploration, particularly on concealed sulphide ore bodies. He has authored/co-authored over 12 publications, most of which are in peer reviewed journals.
Dalaly Peter Kafumu is a geologist specialized in mineral exploration and paleosol development in the East African Rift System. A founder and currently lecturer at the Earth Sciences Institute of Shinyanga, an institution dedicated into competence based education and training to technicians to serve the mining industry. He was Part-time Lecturer in mineral exploration and environmental geology at the University of Dodoma and Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania. Former Commissioner for Minerals in the Government of Tanzania and former Member of Parliament. Prior to becoming Commissioner he was an exploration geologist at the Geological Survey of Tanzania. He holds B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Geology and two Postgraduate Diplomas in Mineral Exploration and in Education. He has conducted over 10 international consultancy services in the mining industry and authored and co-authored a book on Applied Geochemistry: Advances in Mineral Exploration Techniques and over 15 peer reviewed scientific articles.
