Why another book about Ore Deposits? There are a number of factors which motivated us to write this text and which may provide an answer to this question. Firstly our colleagues are predominantly mining engineers and minerals processing technologists, which provides us with a different perspective of ore deposits from many academic geologists. Secondly we have found that most existing texts are either highly theoretical or merely descriptive: we have attempted to examine the practical implications of the geological setting and genetic models of particular ore deposit types. We have written the text primarily for undergraduates who are taking options in Economic Geology towards the end of a Degree Course in Geology. However, we hope that the text will also prove valuable to geologists working in the mining industry. The text is to a large extent based on a review of the existing literature up to the end of 1984. However, we have visited most of the mining districts cited in the text and have also corresponded extensively with geologists to extend our knowledge beyond the published literature. Nonetheless writing a text-book on Ore Deposits is a demanding task and it is inevitable that sins of both omission and commission have been committed. We would therefore welcome comments from readers which can be incorporated in future editions.

When Little Monkey is frightened by a storm, he runs to his mother’s side. “Don’t worry,” she says. “There is always one safe place.” But when he’s left all alone, Little Monkey doesn’t know where to find that place. He searches all through the jungle — in a nest, on an island, in a cave — but none of the places feel safe. Tired, scared, and sad, Little Monkey wonders if he’ll ever find his one safe place. Susan Winter’s lovely watercolor illustrations complement the reassuring, lyrical text, making this an ideal bedtime read.
