Hydrothermal Iron Oxide Cu-Au and Related Deposits: A Global Perspective - Volume 2

Book Cover

Reference:   Porter, T.M. (ed.), 2002 - Hydrothermal Iron Oxide Copper-Gold and Related Deposits: A Global Perspective, vol. 2, PGC Publishing, Adelaide, 380p.   ISBN 978-0-9580574-1-7.

This is the second of a four volume set, which collectively, represent one of the few comprehensive texts available on the important Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) family of deposits.   Released in May 2002 by PGC Publishing, this 380 page soft cover and e-book contains 20 all new papers, expanding on the global coverage achieved by volume 1.

The papers of this volume were invited, reviewed and edited by T M (Mike) Porter of Porter GeoConsultancy Pty Ltd (PGC).   They comprises further descriptive contributions on the classic districts/deposits around the world, written by leading experts from industry, academia and government geological surveys that have researched, worked on and/or explored around them.
