A comprehensive account of ore-forming processes, revised and
updated The revised second edition of Introduction to Ore-Forming
Processes offers a guide to the multiplicity of geological
processes that result in the formation of mineral deposits. The
second edition has been updated to reflect the most recent
developments in the study of metallogeny and earth system science.
This second edition contains new information about global tectonic
processes and crustal evolution that continues to influence the
practice of economic geology and maintains the supply of natural
resources in a responsible and sustainable way. The replenishment
of depleted natural resources is becoming more difficult and
environmentally challenging. There is also a change in the demand
for mineral commodities and the concern around the non-sustainable
supply of 'critical metals' is now an important consideration for
planners of the future. The book puts the focus on the responsible
custodianship of natural resources and the continuing need for all
earth scientists to understand metallogeny and the resource cycle.
This new edition: Provides an updated guide to the processes
involved in the formation of mineral deposits Offers an overview of
magmatic, hydrothermal and sedimentary ore-forming processes Covers
the entire range of mineral deposit types, including the fossil
fuels and supergene ores Relates metallogeny to global tectonics by
examining the distribution of mineral deposits in space and time
Contains examples of world famous ore deposits that help to provide
context and relevance to the process-oriented descriptions of ore
genesis Written for students and professionals alike, Introduction
to Ore-Forming Processes offers a revised second edition that puts
the focus on the fact that mineral deposits are simply one of the
many natural wonders of geological process and evolution.
