Panned-concentrate samples from wadi sediments were collected over terranes of Precambrian age intrusive, volcanic, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, within the Jabal Habashi quadrangle, sheet 26F, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Multivariate analysis of the chemical data indicates that a significant base-metal association occurs in three areas within the quadrangle. An association of strontium, barium, and calcium possibly indicates areas of hydrothermal alteration. Three other associations that were found define the major rock lithologies: niobium-yttrium-lanthanum outlines granitic terranes; magnesium-nickel indicates mafic rocks; and cobalt-vanadium-chromium have an indefinite relation with units mapped as graywacke in the central part of the quadrangle.
