This book systematically describes and illustrates major ore deposit types, and links deposits to geological settings and the processes behind their formation.
A website includes visual resources and combines with the book to provide students and instructors with a complete learning package"--
This latter event probably occurred in the preheated upper portion of the lower crust; however, Westra and Keith (1981) propose that the enrichment process started in the mantle. They then invoke deep crustal material to result in the ...
This well-illustrated book aims to enhance observations and understanding of structural features and proximity-indicator minerals, critical in exploration.
However, we hope that the text will also prove valuable to geologists working in the mining industry. The text is to a large extent based on a review of the existing literature up to the end of 1984.
The latest knowledge on mineral ore genesis and the exploration of ore deposits Global demand for metals has risen considerably over the past decade.
