Abstract :Tbe purpose of this article is to 8how in a simplified manner how the promising zones of mine- raİization are identified by using stream sediment samples in Couvin, tbe Ardennes, Belgilim. Among eleven anomalous areas (mainly bot"extracted lead anomalies) seven of tbem are found possibly related to mineralization. Among such target areas, numbers II, III and V are evî- dently due to tbe kno^vn mineralized veins located upslope. The anomalous values at number IV are directly a result of industrial poUution. The source of anomalous values at target areas VI, VII and X are not certain. Co-precipitaion with manganese in area VII and contamination in area VI are expected to a limited extent. The anomalous values at VIII, IX and XI are con- sidered false and related to contaminations sourced from the viUages located upstream. Only the target area I is identified as a previously unknown mineralizationKeywords : GEOCHEMICAL STREAM, BELGIAN ARDENNES, SEDİMENT
