Geological methods in mineral exploration and mining / [by] Roger Marjoribanks. - 2nd ed. - Dordrecht, Heidelberg: London New York Springer-Verlag, [c2010]. - xv, 238 p. : ill., tables ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 11-12, 49, 61, 72-73, 84, 97, 136, 142, 162-163, 204, 210) and index (p. 233-238).
This practical step-by-step guide describes the key geological field techniques needed by today's exploration geologists involved in the search for metallic mineral deposits. The techniques described are fundamentals to the collection, storage and presentation of geological data and their use to locate ore. This book explains the various tasks which the exploration geologist is asked to perform in the sequence in which they might be employed in an actual exploration project. Hints and tips are given. The steps are illustrated with numerous examples drawn from real programmes on which the author has worked. The book emphasizes traditional skills and shows how they can be combined effectively with modern high technology approaches.
