Abstract

[Extract] Mineralization involves several processes, of which chemical processes are the ones that finally result in precipitation of metals or formation of minerals. Thus, geochemistry is an important field in the study of mineral deposits. Geochemical (e.g. elemental, isotopic, etc.) characterization of mineral deposits is important in (i) understanding ore genesis, (ii) mineral deposit classification, (iii) mineral exploration, (iv) extractive metallurgy or mineral processing, and (v) geoenvironmental research. This thematic issue of Resource Geology is devoted to isotopic geochemistry of mineral deposits for understanding of ore genesis.
