Hf Geochemical Properties

Hafnium
Geochemical Symbol: Hf
Typical Detection Limit (Aqua Regia/ICP): N/A
Typical Detection Limit (Neutron Activation): 1 ppm

Detectability

Truncation (censoring) of up to 50%, likely in most sample media

Exploration Geochemical Applications
1. As a Pathfinder

None known

2. As an Aid to Geological Mapping

Elevated values indicate the presence of felsic rocks, esp. intrusives
