„This book undoubtedly succeeds in addressing the intrinsiccomplexities that surround the formation of ore deposits in anyenvironmental setting. It also demonstrates that ore-formingprocesses are integrally linked to the various wonders of the earthsystem, and paves the ground on which economic geology can find itsdeserved place in modern earth-science curricula, irrespective ofthe periodic declines of interest in ore dposit research from apurely commercial viewpoint... I can only recommend this textbook toall those interested, whether from the academic world or from theindustry, in the challenges of mineral deposits and theirorigins.“

„Here at last is a first-class senior undergraduate-postgraduatetexbook focused on the spectrum of geological processes involved inthe genesis of ore deposits... No question whatever, Introductionto Ore-Forming Processes succeeds in its principal statedpurpose, that being “... to provide a better understanding of theprocesses as well as the nature and origin, of mineral occurrencesand how they fit into the Earth sytem.„
The Canadian Mineralogist, March 2005
“The book brings a fresh new look to an old topic; it isbalanced as to coverage, it is well and engagingly written, it isup to date, and it is global in coverage. I recommend thevolume.„
American Mineralogist, January 2005
“This is an excellent book . . . The text of the book is verywell-written. The author describes lucidly (and patiently) allimportant features of specific processes, so that the reader caneasily follow his arguments."
