Geochemical exploration data is popular in mineral exploration in that it plays a notable role in discovering unknown mineral deposits. In this study, we review the state-of-the-art popular methods for processing geochemical exploration data and for identifying geochemical anomalies associated with mineralization. The distribution laws of geochemical elements concentrations, including normal, log-normal, power-law, and multimodal and complex distributions, have been extensively studied over the past several decades. Accordingly, methods for processing geochemical exploration data have shifted from classic statistics, multivariate statistics, geostatistics, to fractal/multifractal models and machine learning algorithms. Geochemical exploration data, as compositional data, suffer from the closure problem. We need first to open them using logratio transformation. In the future, deep learning algorithms will become a popular technique for mining geochemical exploration data and for extracting targets associated with mineralization in mineral exploration.

Applied Geochemistry

APPLIED GEOCHEMISTRY 是一本国际期刊，致力于发表原创研究论文、快速研究交流和精选的地球化学和城市地球化学评论论文，这些论文在人类努力的某个方面具有实际应用，例如保护环境、健康、废物处理和寻找资源。因此，欢迎有关无机、有机和同位素地球化学和地球化学过程应用的论文，只要它们符合主要标准。时空监测案例研究只有在它们提出广泛应用的新想法时才会引起我们的国际读者的兴趣。涵盖的主题包括：（1）环境地球化学（包括自然和人为方面，以及保护和修复策略）； (2) 水文地球化学（地表水和地下水）； （3）医学（城市）地球化学； （四）能源资源（特别是非常规油气或新兴金属资源）的寻找； (5) 能源开发（特别是地热能和CCS）； （六）直接利用地球化学的能源、矿产资源升级改造； (7) 废物处置，包括核废物处置。

Applied Geochemistry is an international journal dedicated to publishing original research papers, rapid communications, and selected reviews in geochemistry and urban geochemistry. These papers have practical applications in areas such as environmental protection, health, waste management, and resource exploration. Therefore, we welcome submissions related to inorganic, organic, and isotopic geochemistry, as well as the application of geochemical processes, provided they meet our primary standards. Case studies involving spatiotemporal monitoring will only attract the interest of our international readership if they present new ideas with broad applicability. Topics covered include: (1) Environmental geochemistry (including natural and anthropogenic aspects, as well as protection and remediation strategies); (2) Hydrogeochemistry (surface water and groundwater); (3) Medical (urban) geochemistry; (4) Exploration of energy resources (especially unconventional oil and gas or emerging metal resources); (5) Energy development (particularly geothermal energy and carbon capture and storage); (6) Upgrading energy and mineral resources through direct applications of geochemistry; (7) Waste disposal, including nuclear waste disposal.
