An attempt is made in this thesis to interpret some geochemical patterns which resulted from the dispersion of certain base metals in soils and vegetation. The dispersion patterns obtained are of a secondary nature in that they are the result of weathering and decomposition of the primary mineral components occurring in a possible zone of mineralization. The factors, such as the mechanical aspect of dispersion and chemical environment are probably not too well understood and it is hoped that the results of this investigation will throw some light on the problems often encountered in geochemical investigations.
