considerable geochemical data holdings and developed significant expertise in applied geochemistry, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>design and implementation of geochemical studies<\/li><li>sample laboratory analysis<\/li><li>management, presentation and interpretation of geochemical data<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on this expertise, we have played a leading role in the development of
