Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of mineral deposits, exploring their diverse forms and the geological processes that shape them. The author takes us on a journey through time, starting with the Earth's early formation and the fundamental role water has played in shaping its crust. We learn how sedimentary rocks, formed from ancient sea and lake beds, hold clues to past environments and the evolution of life. The book then examines the dramatic impact of igneous rocks, born from molten magma, and their intimate connection to valuable mineral deposits. With this foundation in place, the author unveils a comprehensive classification of mineral deposits, from the gold-rich alluvial placers to the hidden treasures of deep leads and the enigmatic formations of volcanic origin. Each type of deposit is brought to life with vivid descriptions and real-world examples, like the famed tin fields of Malaysia and the diamond-laden gravels of South Africa. This book is not just a catalogue of mineral riches, however. It delves into the theoretical depths of vein formation, exploring competing scientific theories and grappling with the complex dynamics of lodes and beds. The author also examines the economic significance of various ores and minerals, providing insights into their value and future prospects. Ultimately, this book illuminates the profound connection between geology and the mining industry. It equips us with the knowledge to understand the origin, distribution, and potential of mineral deposits, revealing the hidden forces that have shaped our planet and continue to influence its economic landscape.
