Synopsis
This book reviews the geochemical and petrological characteristics of potassic igneous rock complexes, and investigates the various tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The authors provide an overview and classification of these rocks and elucidate the geochemical differences between barren and mineralized potassic igneous complexes. High-K rocks are genetically associated with a number of epithermal gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits. In recent years, there has also been growing recognition of an association of such rocks with iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, intrusion-related gold deposits (IRGDs) and Carlin-type gold deposits. This fifth updated and expanded edition incorporates new data and references from world-class copper and gold deposits worldwide. It also includes the latest publications on the petrogenesis of high-K magmatism and related mineral deposits. Numerous new representative ore photographs of the mineral deposits described are also included in the new edition. As such, the book offers a valuable guide not only for academic petrologists working on alkaline rocks, but also for exploration geologists prospecting for epithermal gold and/or porphyry copper-gold deposits in modern and ancient terrains.

"This is a great and useful book for post-grads and students of mineral systems in general. I have enjoying reading it and must say that I have actually learned a lot. The book has very up-to-date references at the time of its writing." (Franco Pirajno, Ore Geology Reviews 110, July 2019)






"This book should also be part of the library of exploration geologists. It is a great source for background information and well-documented examples. It is, however, up to the individual geologist to extract the full value. I would definitely recommend reading the entire book ... ." (Thomas Bissig, Mineralium Deposita, Vol. 53 (08), December, 2018)
