This is a comprehensive review of the major orefields and metallogenic provinces in the British Isles. Each chapter, written by those active in research on the orefield described, discusses the characteristics of the mineralization and reviews recent research and genetic models, placing the mineralization in a local and worldwide context. The introductory chapter provides an overview of mineralization in the British Isles, putting the mineralization in the context of the geological evolution of the British Isles from the Pre-Cambrian to the Tertiary. Many of the orefields are classic examples of their type (for example, the tin province of south-west England and the Irish base-metal deposits) and have played an important part in the early industrial development of the host countries (especially the iron orefields). The recently discovered stratiform mineralization in the Dalradian as well as the mineralization associated with Caledonian intrusives are reviewed, which are especially important as they are currently the focus of metalliferous mineral exploration.

This advanced text provides an overview of the rapidly developing field of mineral surface science. Each chapter, written by acknowledged experts, comprises a completely up-to-date review of an aspect of the investigation into the character and reaction of mineral surfaces. Theoretical concepts and experimental techniques are explained and illustrated, and the present-day status of the science is revealed. These chapters aim to introduce the topic covered, as well as provide a detailed insight into the current developments in the study of mineral surfaces. The surfaces of minerals can now be studied at the molecular level, enabling understanding of the fundamentals of phenomena such as: the breakdown of minerals; sorption of species including metals on minerals surface; and the role of minerals as catalysts. Such phenomena are central to an understanding of many processes taking place at the surface of the Earth, whether natural or resulting from human activity. They are also central to many industrial processes in the fields of mineral extraction and industrial mineral chemistry.This book should be of interest to advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in mineralogy, soil science, catalysis and solid state chemistry, and materials science; and technologists in the minerals industry chemical industry and environmental industry.
