Within the last decade, the high and continuing demand for gold has
prompted a global gold rush on a scale never before seen, not even
in the heady days of Ballarat, California and the Yukon. Gold is
being sought on every continent and, with very few exceptions, in
every country around the world. Such interest and fierce
competition has demanded considerable innovation and improvement in
exploration techniques paralleled by a rapid expansion of the
geological database and consequent genetic modelling for the many
different types of gold deposits now recognized. This proliferation
of data has swamped the literature and left explorationist and
academic alike unable to sift more than a small proportion of the
accumulating information. This new book represents an attempt to
address this major problem by providing succinct syntheses of all
major aspects of gold metallogeny and exploration, ranging from the
chemical distribution of gold in the Earth's crust, and the
hydrothermal chemistry of gold, to Archaean and Phanerozoic lode
deposits, epithermal environments, chemical sediments, and placer
deposits, and culminates in chapters devoted to geochemical and
geophysical exploration, and the economics of gold deposits. Each
chapter is written by geoscientists who are acknowledged
internationally in their respective fields, thus guaranteeing a
broad yet up-to-date coverage. In addition, each chapter is
accompanied by reference lists which provide readers with access to
the most pertinent and useful publications.
