Does the rarity of major metal accumulations in both space and time reflect the low probability of certain combinations of common processes of the crust including processes of preservation /denudation of the crust Is it possible that we yet to understand some key elements of mineral systems that operate at length scales and time scales yet to be 

The commonly observed spatial association of mineral deposits and provinces with old cratonic margins, crossarc structures or tears in slabs and association of metallogenesis with times of plate re-orientation, slab-rollback and slab-foundering are important architectural and dynamic factors that suggest at least some fluids in mineral systems may originate at depths much greater than 10s of kilometres commonly assumed. 

Characteristics of Deep - Earth Anhydrous Fluids Learnings from Archean Au Deposits 

Studies of 2.65 Ga gold systems in the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have emphasised the interaction of intrinsically reduced (CH4 H2 N2 HCI) and oxidized (CO2 SO2) anhydrous fluids as well as hydrous fluids in deposit formation. Carbonate veins have between -4 and -6 %o, typical of mantle values and primary sulfate have of 8 to 12 %o.

Atomic absorption, along with atomic emission, was first used by Guystav Kirch-hoff and Robert Bunsen in 1859 and 1860, as a means for the qualitative identification of atoms. Although atomic emission continued to develop as an analytical technique, progress in atomic absorption languished for almost a century. Modern atomic absorption spectroscopy was introduced in 1955 as a result of the independent work of A. Walsh and C. T. J. Alkemade. Commercial instruments were in place by the early 1960s, and the importance of atomic absorption as an analytical technique was soon evident.
