ABSTRACT:
An aerial natural gamma radiation survey is conducted over an exploration region. A change in the measured T1-208/K-40 ratio in the exploration region in contrast to a region known not to be hydrothermally altered identifies the exploration region as a hydrothermal alteration. A surface natural gamma radiation survey is conducted over the hydrothermally altered exploration region. A change in the T1-208/K-40 ratio at specific sites within the exploration region indicates the location of alteration products.
