The unifying theme to the papers in this volume is thatthey deal with economic accumulations of sulfide minerals which,together with their host rocks, have been affected to varying degrees byregional metamorphism. The principle sulfide deposit types discussedare stratabound ZnCuPbAgBa deposits in regionally metamorphosed terranes which occur in adiverse variety of host lithologies. In addition other interestingdeposit types are discussed and examples are presented from various partsof the world.
The topics treated in this volume are: the interaction of sulfideminerals with their host rocks during regional metamorphism;the quantitative interpretation of P-T-time histories of regionalmetamorphism in which both sulfide and silicate phase relations must beconsidered together in order to meaningfully interpret the metamorphichistory; the question of how to identify progenitors of rocks modifiedby tectonic and metamorphic processes and the implications of thesestudies; developing future exploration strategies for massive sulfidedeposits in meatmorphic terranes.
This book will be of value and interest to both researchers andexploration geologists with an interest in massive sulfide deposits.
