Korelaciona analiza kao metod izdvajanja geohemijskih asocijacija elemenata u rudnom polju Kaludra (JZ Srbija)

Correlation analysis as a method of determining geochemical association of elements in the ore filed Kaludra (SW Serbia)

Abstract

In the course of geochemical prospection of potential ore-bearing terrains, defining indicator elements associations is one of the primaiy tasks. This problem is especially emphasized in the investigation of complex types of mineralizations comprising several ore-forming components, i.e. polymetallic ore occurences.

Comparative analysis of results along with other relevant geological-geochemical features facilitates reliable determination of geochemical associations of indicator elements.

This paper presents three statistical methods of analysis of correlation between potential indicator elements during geochemical exploration and comparative analysis of results thus obtained. Results of geochemical investigations of the ore field Kaludra on the southeast flanks of Golija Mt. were taken as an example.
