Geochemical methods in mineral exploration are devised to locate and pin-point zones containing more than normal amounts of the elements which result from the weathering and scattering of primary mineral deposits, minerals in wall rock and alteration zones. These geochemical "anomalies" are known as secondary dispersion patterns, the character of which depend upon the agent of dispersion, whether mechanical or physico-chemical, and the nature of the materials through which the process of dispersion takes place.
