Assessment of ore deposit settings, structures and proximity indicator minerals in geological exploration / Оценка параметров залегания рудных месторождений, структуры и близости полезных ископаемых-индикаторов при геологоразведке

The book lays emphasis on ore deposit set ups, structural permeability and proximity indicator minerals that have relevance in assessing mineral potential of prospective terrains. It also covers aspects of geophysical framework, data acquisition and challenges posed by the declining rate of new mineral discoveries of economic significance.
It is believed that a geological map on reasonably good scale, appropriate to the complexity of a given terrain is a strong scientific document in its own right. Unlike the current trends in research that appear to lay excessive stress on labgenerated data on geologic materials, this book keeps the field-related visuals on higher pedestal, believing that it kick starts thinking process on multiple lines. The book draws strength from field observations that were made during the unusually long stint of about 35 years in the Geological Survey of India. The write up reflects author’s experience and perspective developed during all those years in geological and structural mapping, exploration and metallogenic studies in the richly mineralized and intensely deformed Precambrian terrains. The examples are drawn from western, central and northeastern India and the extra peninsular region covering some parts of complexly tectonized Himalayas. <...>
