Some published studies have suggested that chemical redistribution within the earth's crust, can take place during metamorphism. This concept is supported indirectly by a statistical study of chemical analyses of regionally metamorphosed rocks, and directly by - a study of two contact Metamorphic aureoles in the Canberra 1:250,000 Sheet area. Such redistribution provides an opportunity for segregation of original trace constituents of solid rocks, and should be taken into consideration as a possible source of ore in metamorphic terrains.
