This book is the first to integrate the geological evolution of the Australian continent with the numerous episodes of mineralization that have occurred since the Archaean period. With their combined expertise in mineral deposit research, the authors cite geological and geophysical data to present hypotheses regarding the origins of the major types of mineral deposits in Australia, particularly those that have produced significant amounts of iron, nickel, uranium, copper, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten, gold, silver, and diamond. This book will be invaluable to mineral geologists conducting research and mineral resource assessment in industry, government, and academia.
