Fri frakt för medlemmar vid köp för minst 249 kr.Metallic Mineral Resources: The Critical Components for a Sustainable Earth introduces the heterogeneous distribution of metal resources as well as the industrial use of metals. The main chapters then work systematically through abundant metal systems, scarce critical metal systems, rare critical metal systems, trace critical metal systems, and precious metal systems. The book wraps with a close examination of temporal distribution of mineral resources and an insightful discussion of the future of mineral resources. Researchers and engineers in economic geology and mining and exploration industries will find themselves returning to this key reference for years to come.
"The authors are world renown geoscientists who have a combined 120 years of successful international industry and award-winning academic experience which brings remarkable and diverse skill sets required for this very timely and highly relevant publication.
Metallic Mineral Resources is meticulously edited and this review took much longer than normal due to the tremendous amount of information and research to be adsorbed and processed. Each chapter has logical format, excellent figures and tables allowing the reader to systematically follow the various themes and discussions. The book is unique in that a broad range of disciplines and geopolitics are drawn on to emphasize the current and future metal supply and demand issues. The authors have succeeded admirably in describing and highlighting in great detail, the critical components for a sustainable earth, at a time when these issues are now more relevant than ever before."

- Describes how mineable and economic metal concentrations form and are preserved in the Earth’s upper crust
- Documents how they are discovered by systematic mineral exploration at a variety of scales
- Discusses how to educate the public on the scarcity of natural metal resources and the issues concerning the nexus between the energy transition and potential exhaustion of critical metals
