Mineral Deposits of Finland is the only up-to-date and inclusive reference available that fully captures the scope of Finland's mineral deposits and their economic potential. Finland hosts Europe's most mature rocks and large cratonic blocks, analogous to western Australia and Southern Africa, which are the most mineralized terrains on Earth.Authored by the world's premier experts on Finnish mineral exploration and mining, Mineral Deposits of Finland offers a thorough summary of the mineral deposits and their petrogenesis, helping readers to map, explore, and identify Finland's renewed potential for mineral exploration and extraction.

Zielgruppe

<p>Primary audience includes geologists, economic and petroleum geologists, mineralogists and exploration geoscientists globally as well as mining companies in Finland. </p> <p>Secondary audience includes upper undergraduate and graduate students in the geosciences taking courses in economic geology, mineralogy, and hydrocarbon exploration. </p>
