Abstract
Lithogeochemical investigation of sediments of active streams draining through Bela Ophiolite. from Lasbela area are presented. This area consists mainly of ophiolites associated with sedimentary rocks of Jurassic-Cretaceousa ge. Quantitative examinationso f important immobile ,elements such as Fe, Mn, Ti & Cr, and semi-mobile to mobile like Zn, Cu, Ni and Co have been carried out. These elements have anomalous concentrations in fine stream sediments in certain regions. An attempt is made to demarcate the areas of possible occurrences of ore mineralization associated with the Bela Ophiolite based on statistical analysis of the geochemical data.. Statistical analysis and plots of data were employed to evaluate the distribution and interrelationship of these elements and coefficient of variation and correlation coefficients were calculated. The suitability of the methods is discussed in relation with the arid climatic conditions of southern Balochistan and the local geology.
