In recent years, there has been increasing interest from
geoscientists in potassic ig- neous rocks. Academic geoscientists
have been interested in their petrogenesis and their potential
value in defining the tectonic setting of the terranes into which
they were intruded, and exploration geoscientists have become
increasingly interested in the association of these rocks with
major epithermal gold and porphyry gold-copper deposits. Despite
this current interest, there is no comprehensive textbook that
deals with these aspects of potassic igneous rocks. This book
redresses this situation by elucidating the characteristic features
of po- tassic (high-K) igneous rocks, erecting a hierarchical
scheme that alIows interpreta- tion of their tectonic setting using
whole-rock geochemistry, and investigating their associations with
a variety of gold and copper-gold deposits, worldwide. About half
of the book is based on a PhD thesis by Dr Daniel MillIer which was
produced at the Centre for Strategic Mineral Deposits (former ARC
Key Centre) within the Depart- ment of Geology and Geophysics at
The University of Western Australia under the supervision of
Professor David Groves, the late Dr Nick Rock, Professor Eugen
Stumpf}, Dr Wayne Taylor, and Dr Brendan Griffin. The remainder of
the book was compiled from the literature using the collective
experience of the two authors. The book is dedicated to the memory
of Dr Rock who initiated the research project but died before its
completion.
