Metals in the earth's crust are very unevenly distributed and,
traditionally, a small number of ore deposits, districts or
countries have dominated the world supply and have influenced
commodity prices. The importance of exceptionally large, or rich,
deposits has greatly increased in the age of globalization when a
small number of international corporations dominate the metals
market, based on few very large ore deposits, practically anywhere
in the world. Search for giant orebodies thus drives the
exploration industry: not only the in-house teams of large
internationals, but also hundreds of junior companies hoping to
sell their significant discoveries to the "big boys." Geological
characteristics of giant metallic deposits and their setting and
the politico-economic constraints of access to and exploitation in
prospective areas have been a "hot topic" in the past fifteen
years, but the knowledge generated and published has been
one-sided, scattered and fragmented. This is the first
comprehensive book on the subject that provides body of solid facts
rather than rapidly changing theories, written by author of the
Empirical Metallogeny book series and founder of the Data
Metallogenica visual knowledge system on mineral deposits of the
world, who has had an almost 40 years long international academic
and industrial experience. The book will provide abundant material
for comparative research in metallogeny, practical information for
the explorationists as to where to look for the "elephants," and
some inspiration for commodity investors.
