| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-4) is a collaborative federal geoscience program that provides industry with the next generation of geoscience
knowledge and innovative techniques to better detect buried mineral deposits, thereby reducing some of the risks of exploration. The use of multivariate statistics applied to the drill core chemistry of the Phoenix uranium deposit has identified
features of uranium and rare earth element mineralization and associated alteration of the surrounding host rock. The multi-element patterns revealed by the statistical analysis of the data provides an integrated approach to effectively studying
large geochemical datasets. |
