Quantifying spatial association between mineral deposits and geology across three African crustal segments of different age, with implication for secular change in mineralization during earth history

Variations in enrichment of mineralization, expressed in ore deposits, in the continental crust may be one way to test for secular changes in crustal genesis. This study collates and analyses fundamental information about mineral deposits with which to 'fingerprint' the metal endowment of...
