Hydrothermal Mineral Deposits Principles and Fundamental Concepts for the Exploration Geologist

This book is intended primarily for exploration geologists and post­ graduate students attending specialist courses in mineral exploration. Exploration geologists are engaged not only in the search for new mineral deposits, but also in the extension and re-assessment of existing ones. To succeed in...
