10 PREFACE Mineral deposits have supplied useful or valuable material for human consumption long before they became objects of scientific curiosity or commercial exploitation. In fact, the earliest human interest in rocks was probably because of the easily accessible, useful (e.g., red pigment in the form of earthy hematite) or valuable (e.g., native gold and gemstones) materials they contained at places. In modern times, the study of mineral deposits has evolved into an applied science employing detailed field observations, sophisticated laboratory techniques for additional information, and computer modeling to build complex hypotheses. Understanding concepts that would someday help geologists to find new mineral deposits or exploit the known ones more efficiently have always been, and will continue to be, at the core of any course on mineral deposits, but it is a fascinating subject in its own right, even for students who do not intend to be professional economic geologists. I believe that a course on mineral deposits should be designed as a "capstone course" that illustrates a comprehensive application of concepts from many other disciplines in geology (mineralogy, stratigraphy and sedimentation, structure and tectonics, petrology, geochemistry, paleontology, geomorphology, etc.). This book is intended as a text for such an introductory course in economic geology, primarily for senior undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities. It should also serve as a useful information resource for professional economic geologists. The overall objective of the book is to provide the reader with a critical understanding of selected classes mineral deposits: how are they distributed in space and geologic time, what are their distinguishing and general characteristics, and what can be inferred about their genesis from the available data. The expectation is that the information and discussions in this text will provide students with an insight into the formulation of appropriate exploration strategies for various classes of mineral deposits and kindle their interest in further research on aspects of mineral deposits that are poorly understood or that remain unresolved. As an applied discipline, the study of economic geology requires a background in other disciplines of geology (particularly mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, and stratigraphy and sedimentation) as well as in allied sciences, such as physics and chemistry. It is assumed that the student has had one or more courses in these subjects and is in a position to appreciate the applications of various principles taught in those courses to issues related to mineral deposits. There is an emphasis on geochemistry throughout the book; this is necessary because the formation of almost all mineral Xlll
11 deposits ultimately involves the chemical precipitation of minerals from fluids of appropriate characteristics. Considering the vast spectrum of mineral deposits that are either of potential economic interest or are actually being exploited for our use, it is practically impossible to include a comprehensive treatment of mineral deposits in an introductory text of this kind constrained by page limitations. The selection included here is based on what I perceive as the more interesting (and usually controversial) classes of deposits, especially from the points of view of origin and crustal evolution in space and time. This does not imply that the classes of deposits excluded from consideration here are not interesting or that their origins are devoid of controversy, but I had to draw the line somewhere. A recurring problem I have had to deal with in writing this book is to keep it updated with the latest information, which is being produced at an ever increasing rate. In addition, space limitation has compelled me to a selection of the references I have used, a judgement, which I am afraid, is probably not totally devoid of personal bias. Kula C. Misra Knoxville, Tennessee August, 1999 XIV
12 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The information contained in this book has come from a variety of sources: thousands of journal articles, scores of books, visits to many mines around the world, and a lifetime of endeavor to understand mineral deposits. I am thankful to all those authors who have shared their knowledge, the publishers who have been instrumental in disseminating the information, the mine geologists and mine managers who have made the mine visits a rewarding experience, and the teachers, such as Samar Sarkar, Asoke Mookherjee, Sisir Sen, and Michael Fleet, who taught me to think critically. A book of this length and effort does not happen without the sustained cooperation and help of a substantial number of individuals. In addition to the anonymous reviewers selected by the publisher, I am grateful to my colleagues Harry Y. McSween, Jr., Otto C. Kopp, Robert D. Hatcher, and Marvin Bennett for critically reviewing several of the chapters. I am particularly indebted to Hap McSween for his continued support throughout the writing of this book. I thank Marvin Bennett for all the help with the computer softwares I have used for this book, especially for graphics. The Office of Research, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is gratefully acknowledged for a generous grant toward the completion of this project. This book would not have been completed without the encouragement of my wife, Geeta, our children, Lolly and Anand, and our son-in law, Tom, or published without the patience of the publishers. xv
