Economics, and the economic way of thinking, have had an important influence on business and government affairs for at least the last two centuries. The Scottish author Adam Smith espoused the foundations of modern economic thought in 1776 (Smith, 1976 [1776]). His famous volume – The Wealth of Nations1 – ushered in a revolution in economic thinking. His ideas formed the basis of the new academic field of political economy, which writers such as William Stanley Jevons renamed as economics some 100 years later.

The Kapai Slate is a continuous, pyrite-rich carbonaceous shale horizon within the St. Ives Au district that is spatially related to high-grade Au mineralization. In situ laser ablation-inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) trace element analyses, in situ sensitive high resolution ion microprobe, stable isotope (SHRIMPSI) S isotope analyses, and optical microscopy pyrite texture analyses were used to examine the different pyrite types in the Kapai Slate and Au deposits. These data were also used to confirm that the trace element signature of sedimentary pyrite can be preserved in rocks that underwent upper to mid-greenschist facies metamorphism and significant hydrothermal overprint. The data were further utilized to gain a more detailed understanding of the ocean conditions during deposition of the Kapai Slate and determine whether some of the Au and S in the St. Ives district could have been sourced from the Kapai Slate.

The Cleo gold deposit, 55 km south of Laverton in the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia, is characterised by banded iron-formation (BIF)-hosted ore zones in the gently dipping Sunrise Shear Zone and high-grade vein-hosted ore in the Western Lodes. There is evidence that gold mineralisation in the Western Lodes (which occurred at ca 2655 Ma) post-dates the majority of displacement along the Sunrise Shear Zone, but it remains uncertain if the ore in both structures formed simultaneously or separately.

This monograph provides a useful review of economic, financial and policy issues affecting the minerals industry and has proven extremely popular with students, practitioners and industry advisors. This second edition is timely given the continued high demand and interest for minerals professionals wishing to keep abreast of current thinking on this subject
The volume is set out in five main sections: Minerals and the World Economy Minerals - Consumption, Production and Markets Mineral Finance and Investment Minerals and Public Policy Mining and Local Communities

These bibliographies and the notes that accompany them have been prepared to aid the economic geologist in his study of ore deposits; they certainly will not do all his work for him. I have tried to include all ore districts in Africa, Asia (exclusive of the U.S.S.R.) and Australasia for which sufficient material is available in print to permit a student of ore deposits to obtain a real understanding of any one of the deposits. I have tried to include as many references as possible in languages other than English. <...>

Настоящий справочник в отличие от предыдущих сборников ВГФ, изданных по видам минерального сырья, составлен по отдельным странам капиталистического мира
Цель справочника — в краткой, сжатой форме ознакомить широкий круг читателей с состоянием запасов и добычи минерального сырья в капиталистических странах.

Ivanhoe Australia Limited (Ivanhoe) commissioned SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd (SRK) to prepare a Technical Report in line with Canadian and internationally recognised National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards and Form 43-101F1, for mining activities at the Osborne Open Pit, Osborne Underground and Kulthor Underground deposits.
Ivanhoe is an Australian-based Resource company listed on both the Australian Securities Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange as IVA. It has assembled a significant package of Mineral Resources in the highly mineralised Cloncurry district, near Mt Isa, Queensland. Exploration success so far has revealed a portfolio of copper, molybdenum, rhenium and gold Mineral Resources. This report considers only the copper and gold assets which include the Osborne deposits and Kulthor deposit.
Ivanhoe purchased the Osborne copper-gold assets from Barrick in 2010 <...>

В книге известных австралийских ученых в краткой и популярной форме приводится обзор основных типов горных пород и характеризуются два главных метода определения их возраста — палеонтологический и изотопный, получивший широкое распространение в последние десятилетия. Рассматриваются принципы эволюции жизни на Земле и в качестве иллюстрации приводится краткое описание истории геологического развития Австралии, базирующееся на содержащихся в книге возрастных данных.
Увлекательно написанная и хорошо иллюстрированная книга представит интерес не только для геологов и студентов геологических высших и средних учебных заведений, но и для широкого круга читателей, интересующихся историей нашей планеты.
