Advanced Geochemistry: From XRF Data to Geological Maps

About this course

Unlock the full potential of your geochemical data and transform the way you interpret mineral exploration projects.In the modern mining industry, relying solely on visual logging can lead to significant mapping errors, especially in complex hydrothermal environments. This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on guide to mastering Diomine DH Auditor 2026.2, the specialized tool designed to bridge the gap between raw XRF data and accurate geological models. Throughout this training, we will dive deep into the world of lithogeochemistry. You will learn how to automate the calculation of critical ratios such as Zr/Ti, which remains stable even when rock textures are destroyed by alteration. We will also explore the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) to quantify weathering intensity and the Herron Index for precise sedimentary classification.By the end of this course, you will not only understand the theory behind immobile element geochemistry but also gain practical mastery of the Diomine DH Auditor interface. You will learn how to handle data capping to manage outliers, use swath plots for spatial validation, and ultimately digitize geological maps that are backed by quantitative evidence.This training is specifically designed for industry professionals who need to move beyond traditional manual workflows. We focus on real-world application, ensuring that the skills you learn can be immediately applied to your current exploration or mining projects to increase data reliability and project value. Whether you are dealing with complex orogenic gold systems or sedimentary basins, the methods taught here will provide a scientific foundation for your geological interpretations and resource models.
