The concept of the 4th industrial revolution is becoming a strategic determinant of
sustainability, success and competitiveness in the modern mining sector. The importance of …

Mineral systems with their core of ore deposits require a rare conjunction of geodynamic
settings, crustal or lithospheric fertility, crustal architecture and suitable host rocks, and …

The snowball Earth hypothesis predicts globally synchronous glaciations that persisted on a
multimillion year time scale. Geochronological tests of this hypothesis have been limited by …

Porphyry deposits arguably represent the most economically important class of nonferrous
metallic mineral resources. These magmatic-hydrothermal deposits are characterized by …

Sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits comprise disseminated to veinlet Cu and Cu-Fe
sulfides in sili-ciclastic or dolomitic sedimentary rocks. Sediment-hosted stratiform copper …

Trace elements in pyrite are increasingly being used in ore deposit exploration as a
geochemical pathfinder to ore. This is because the trace element systematics of pyrite are …

Sedimentary rock-hosted stratiform copper deposits form by movement of oxidized, copper-
bearing fluids across a reduction front that results in the precipitation of copper sulfides …

Map** closely to how ore deposit geology is now taught, this textbook systematically
describes and illustrates the major ore deposit types, linking this to their settings in the crust …

Although most economic geology research is concentrated at the deposit or mineral-system
scale for a single well-defined deposit group with a consistent metal association, there are …

Mineral deposits represent extraordinary metal concentrations that form by magmatic,
magmatic–hydrothermal or hydrothermal processes in geodynamic environments typified by …
