Economic geology is a mixtum compositum of all geoscientific disciplines focused on one
goal, finding new mineral depsosits and enhancing their exploitation. The keystones of this …

Written for students and professionals, this revised textbook surveys the mineral industry
from geological, environmental and economic perspectives. Thoroughly updated, the text …

The magnetite-apatite deposits (“Kiruna-type”) and the iron oxide-Cu-Au deposits form end
members of a continuum. In general the magnetite-apatite deposits form prior to the copper …

Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we have analyzed magnetite (Fe3O4)
crystals acid-extracted from carbonate globules in Martian meteorite ALH84001. We studied …

The Vergenoeg fluorite deposit in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa is hosted by a
volcanic pipe-like body. The distribution characteristics, composition and formation …

Abstract Ore-forming (hydrothermal) fluids, consisting largely of H2O, CO2, and NaCl,
formed most of Earth's ore deposits. The fluids exist as largely unconfined systems in …

Abstract The Bayan Obo Fe-REE-Nb deposit, Inner Mongolia, China, is the world's largest
REE resource and is also exploited as a major Fe oxide deposit. The deposit consists of …

Fe-oxide-Cu-Au deposits typically formed in continental arc and intracratonic tectonic
settings, predominantly in the Proterozoic, but also during the Phanerozoic. The lack of …

Granites are emblematic rocks developed from a magma that crystallized in the Earth's crust.
They ultimately outcrop at the surface of every continent. This book-translated, edited, and …

Iron oxide copper (-gold) deposits consist of dominant magnetite or haematite, with one or
more copper sulphides and pyrite, with associated K-feldspar or sericite or albite or biotite …
