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.
In this book, the first dedicated entirely to the petrology of lamproites and their relationships to other potassium-rich rocks, the objective of the authors is to provide a comprehensive critical review of the occurrence, mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrogenesis of the clan. Although lamproites represent one of the rarest of all rock types, they are both economically and scientifically important and we believe the time is ripe for a review of the advances made in their petrology over the past two decades. Many of these advances stem from the recognition of diamond-bearing lamproites in Western Australia and the reclassification of several anomalous diamond-bearing kim berlites as lamproit...
