Geology, Geochemistry and Formation of Supergene Mineral Deposits in Deeply Weathered Terrain

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the major supergene mineral deposits formed in intensely weathered lateritic terrains. It discusses both contemporary and pre-existing supergene deposits, describing their geological, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics. Supergene processes of...
