Humanity's ever-increasing hunger for mineral raw materials, caused
by a growing global population and ever increasing standards of
living, has resulted in economic geology becoming a subject of
urgent importance.
This book provides a broad panorama of mineral deposits,
covering their origin and geological characteristics, the
principles of the search for ores and minerals, and the
investigation of newly found deposits. Practical and environmental
issues that arise during the life cycle of a mine and after its
closure are addressed, with an emphasis on sustainable and "green"
mining.
The central scientific theme of the book is to place the
extraordinary variability of mineral deposits in the frame of
fundamental geological processes.
The book is written for earth science students and practicing
geologists worldwide. Professionals in administration, resource
development, mining, mine reclamation, metallurgy, and mineral
economics will also find the text valuable.
"Economic Geology" is a fully revised translation of the the
fifth edition of the German language text "Mineralische und
Energie-Rohstoffe."
