Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes is the first senior
undergraduate – postgraduate textbook to focus specifically
on the multiplicity of geological processes that result in the
formation of mineral deposits.
- Opens with an overview of magmatic ore-forming processes
- Moves systematically through hydrothermal and sedimentary
metallogenic environments, covering as it does the entire gamut of
mineral deposit types, including the fossil fuels and supergene
ores
- The final chapter relates metallogeny to global tectonics by
examining the distribution of mineral deposits in space and
time
- Boxed examples of world famous ore deposits are featured
throughout providing context and relevance to the process-oriented
descriptions of ore genesis
- Brings the discipline of economic geology back into the realm of conventional mainstream earth science by emphasizing the fact that mineral deposits are simply one of the many natural wonders of geological process and evolution.
