Minig and mineral industries. An information sourcebook / Горнодобывающая промышленность. Информационный справочник

Mining and mineral industries information is broadly based, from exploration for ore deposits to processing and marketing the ores. In recent years mining has become continuously more international, and economic and political impacts of mineral industries are worldwide. Informed business decisions require both technical and management data, so both types of information are covered in this bibliography of information sources.
The literature selected varies from introductory to extremely technical and scholarly, with descriptive annotations that include level of reader’s expertise assumed. English-language publications predominate, although some foreign language items, such as polyglot dictionaries and conference proceedings with papers in various languages have been included. General business sources are not included, unless a significant portion relates directly to the mineral industries. Metallurgical materials are also not included, except for a few which treat ore preparation. <...>
