This book reviews the geochemical and petrological characteristics
of potassic igneous rock complexes, and investigates the various
tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The authors provide
an overview and classification of these rocks and elucidate the
geochemical differences between barren and mineralized potassic
igneous complexes. High-K rocks are genetically associated with a
number of epithermal gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits. In
recent years, there has also been growing recognition of an
association of such rocks with iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG)
deposits, intrusion-related gold deposits (IRGDs) and Carlin-type
gold deposits. This fifth updated and expanded edition incorporates
new data and references from world-class copper and gold deposits
worldwide. It also includes the latest publications on the
petrogenesis of high-K magmatism and related mineral deposits.
Numerous new representative ore photographs of the mineral deposits
described are also included in the new edition. As such, the book
offers a valuable guide not only for academic petrologists working
on alkaline rocks, but also for exploration geologists prospecting
for epithermal gold and/or porphyry copper-gold deposits in modern
and ancient terrains.
