Andean metallogeny : new discoveries concepts and updates

2005ref. 1652Andean Metallogeny: New Discoveries Concepts and Updates is a pivotal volume that provides a comprehensive and modern synthesis of the mineral wealth of the Andean Cordillera the world's premier porphyry copper and epithermal gold province. Edited by renowned experts Richard H. Sillitoe José Perelló and César E. Vidal this Special Publication from the Society of Economic Geologists captures the significant advances in understanding the region's geology and mineral deposits at the turn of the 21st century. The book moves beyond a simple inventory of deposits to explore the genetic concepts tectonic controls and exploration methodologies that are key to ongoing and future discovery. It synthesizes decades of research and exploration success offering new models and updates that are critical for understanding the formation and distribution of ore deposits along the entire Andean belt from Colombia to Chile and Argentina. Key themes and contributions include: Comprehensive Regional Coverage: Systematically reviews the metallogeny of the entire Andean orogen highlighting the distinct characteristics and major deposits of each segment. Focus on Major Deposit Types: Provides in-depth analysis of the region's dominant deposit styles including porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold high- and low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver and iron oxide-copper-gold IOCG systems. New Discoveries and Models: Features detailed accounts of major new discoveries and presents updated genetic and exploration models that incorporate the latest research in tectonics geochronology and hydrothermal processes. Practical Exploration Insights: Explicitly designed to assist mineral exploration by relating metallogeny to the evolving tectonic setting and identifying the key geological parameters that control the location of world-class mineral districts. Authoritative Synthesis: Represents the collective expertise of leading economic geologists making it an essential reference for anyone engaged in exploration research or investment in the Andean region. An indispensable resource for economic geologists and exploration professionals this volume stands as a definitive update on the metallogenic framework of one of the most mineral-rich mountain ranges on Earth.
