Geochemical Map

The China-Cambodia cooperation project, 1:1000000 low-density geochemical mapping in Cambodia, has been implemented for the whole of Cambodia from 2016 to 2019 and has achieved significant breakthrough in 1:1000000 geochemical survey methods and technologies in tropical rainforest landscape areas of Southeast Asia. 

High-quality geochemical data on 71 elements was firstly obtained throughout Cambodia geochemical maps of 71 elements were generated, and the spatial distribution and enrichment of elements were ascertained, which provide the basis for geology, mineral exploration, environmental assessment and land use, scientific research, etc. 

The geochemical maps provide geochemical background features of different geotectonic units, geochemical data information on metallogenic material sources for mineral resource assessment, environmental geochemical background and large-area soil environmental quality situation for environmental evaluation and land use.
