Résumé :	This book reviews the geochemical & petrological characteristics of the potassic igneous rock complexes & investigates the different tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The authors provide an overview & a classification of these rocks & attempt to elucidate the geochemical differences between barren & mineralized potassic igneous complexes. Many epithermal gold & porphyry copper-gold deposits are hosted by high-K rocks. Therefore, this book is not only relevant to academic petrologists working on alkaline rocks, but also to exploration geologists prospecting for epithermal gold and/or porphyry copper-gold deposits in modern & ancient terranes. This third, updated & enlarged edition contains several new sections, new geochemical data & additional references.
Note de contenu :	Contents *Introduction *Definitions and nomenclature *Tectonic settings of potassic igneous rocks *Selected typeLocalities of potassic igneous rocks from the five tectonic settings *Primary enrichment of precious metals in potassic igneous rocks *Direct associations between potassic igneous rocks and gold-copper deposits *Indirect associations between lamprophyres and gold-copper deposits *Halogen contents of mineralized versus unmineralized potassic igneous rocks *Implications for mineral exploration *Characteristics of some gold-copper deposits associated with potassic igneous rocks
