摘要

Exploration of ore deposits involves forming thin sections from magnesium-iron silicate samples; analyzing the magnesium-iron silicate thin sections using an ion probe for the main and trace elements; and evaluating the analysis data obtained. An Independent claim is also included for a device for exploration of ore deposits. Preferred Features: The magnesium-iron silicate sample analysis data are obtained from tourmaline and evaluated.
