Overview

In this volume metal deposits, in particular those of non-ferrous and precious metals, are classified and analyzed in terms of their plate tectonic settings. This approach allows a meaningful treatment of metal deposits of different types and provides insights into both their genesis and formative environments. This updated second edition incorporates the recent significant advances in economic geology. Particular attention is paid to the geological settings and generative models of gold deposits of all kinds.
