Processes and Ore Deposits of Ultramafic-Mafic Magmas through Space and Time

Processes and Ore Deposits of Ultramafic-Mafic Magmas through Space and Time adds to the understanding of the fundamental processes which control the formation of the deposits of the ultramafic-mafic magmas covering chromite, PGE, Ni-sulfides and Ti-V-bearing magnetite. Production and use of magmatic ores is one of the most dynamic and effective branches of world economy. Magmatic ore deposits are formed from ultramafic-mafic magmas due to high temperature crystallization processes after emplacement at the crustal magma chamber and directly linked to the evolution of the parental magmas through space and time. This book will also feature recent developments in the fields of magmatic ore deposits. Elucidates the relationship between tectonic settings and magmatic ore mineralizationProvides a link between magmatic ore mineralization in the mantle (both shallow and deep) and crustal processesFeatures the latest research on the change of patterns in magmatic ore mineralization through time and their bearing on the chemical evolution of the Earth's mantle INDICE: 1.
