The theoretical basis for the development of geochemical methods in Russian exploration practice was the 1909 work by V. 1. Vernadsky on the universal dispersion, migration, and concentration of chemical elements and the teaching of mineral deposit field dispersion in conjunction with the quantitative interpretation of geochemicai anomaiies in the basic practical works of N.l. Safronov (1936, 1957), who was a geophysicist and geochemist who experienced Soviet government repression. 

Makeev et al. 1972). The gold dust fraction lost during panning ranged up to 150-200 grains, a possible loss of 25-100% (Krutous 1976). Mineral search on dispersion flows proved to be an effective exploration method in poorly studied northeastern Russia.
