Presents the latest data on the Aguablanca Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposit in Spain Furthers our understanding of Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits in general and the unique geodynamic evolution of the deposit in Aguablanca Offers a comprehensive description of the Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposit in Aguablanca

Klappentext

This book describes the Aguablanca Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposit, the first, and to date only, mineralization of this type in southwestern (SW) Europe. Since its discovery in 1993, this ore deposit has attracted the attention of the resource geology community due to its unusual geodynamic context, namely an active plate margin. The book focuses on the key features of the deposit and reports on the ore-forming processes that were most important for its formation.
