NATURAL GAMMA RADIATION IN THE FIELD OF GEOLOGICAL PROSPECTING
In situ determination of the natural gamma radiation of geological materials focused on geological prospecting.
Natural gamma radiation assessment is a geological prospecting tool
The in situ assessment of natural gamma radiation is an inexpensive technique that quickly yields data that can be used to differentiate and characterise geological materials in a given area for geological prospecting.
The identification and assessment of geological materials using natural gamma radiation is a known and suitable technique due to its simplicity and reliability.
The holistic analysis of data derived from different techniques can be used to achieve more consistent results
The combination of radiometric data with other data derived from the observation and measurement of geological materials has great potential for geological prospecting.
