Hydrothermal, iron oxide, copper-gold and related deposits. Volume 3 / Гидротермальные, железооксидные, медно-золотые и родственные месторождения. Том 3

Since publication of the previous volume in the "Hydrothermal Iron Oxide Copper-Gold and Related Deposits: A Global Perspective" series in 2002, there have been significant advances in the understanding of iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, as well as a number of new discoveries. This two volume set includes 26 new papers, with over 100 colour plans and individual images, reporting, reviewing and discussing the current appreciation of the occurrence of this style of mineralisation, what constitutes IOCG-type ores, and new insights into established deposits and their geological setting.
Contributions have been from leading experts, selected for their expertise and reputation pertinent to the ore-style, metallogenic provinces and individual deposits that were the subject of the paper they have been asked to prepare. The content of the compilation has been carefully planned, with the bulk of the papers being invited in an attempt to provide the comprehensive perspective the title promises, while others offered have been accepted on the basis they contribute to the same aim. A number have been included covering deposits for which there may be some controversy as to whether they belong to this class of deposit, to provide balance to the debate.
All of the papers submitted have been peer reviewed, mainly by the editor, an experienced geologist who has visited and studied most of the deposits included in the two volumes. Some of the contributions, particularly those for which the editor is author, have also been externally reviewed by geologists with appropriate expertise <...>
