Since the gaseous bubbles that have the maximum speed of migration in a porous
system have a radius of about one tenth of the radius of the particles of the system, it is
rational to suggest that bubbles of this size are able to pass through the porous channels
in rocks. In this case the dispersion of metals in mobile forms depends mainly on the
mechanism of bubble-facilitated transport of metals within and on the surface of
bubbles. Dispersion of metals (Sb, Cu, Zn, Pb, Fe and others) in a gaseous phase in rocks
was established directly by experimental studies of hydrogeothermal vapour (Krat, 1983)
and volcanic gases (Putikov and Dukhanin, 1994), and indirectly by studies of
subsurface air (Kristiansson and Malmqvist, 1986; Krchmar, 1988; Dukhanin, 1990).
