A foundational work in economic geology, The Formation of Mineral Deposits presents a rigorous and authoritative examination of the geological processes responsible for the concentration of ore minerals within the Earth's crust. Bateman systematically details the major classes of mineral deposits — including magmatic, hydrothermal, sedimentary, and weathering-related types — and instructs readers on the physical and chemical conditions that govern their formation. Written with the precision of a seasoned academic, the text argues that a thorough understanding of genetic processes is essential for the effective exploration and exploitation of mineral resources. Widely adopted as a university textbook, it illustrates complex geological concepts with clarity, making it an indispensable reference for students of geology, mining engineers, and professional geologists alike.
