Radiogenic Isotopes Applied to Mineral Exploration 1st Edition

Capture the cutting edge of exploration geology with Radiogenic Isotopes Applied to Mineral Exploration, 1st Edition by Colombo, Celso Gaeta, and Tassinari. This authoritative guide bridges isotope geochemistry and practical field targeting, offering clear strategies for using radiogenic systems to unlock ore deposit histories and refine exploration models.

Explore how radiogenic isotopes (U-Pb, Pb-Pb, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd and other systems) provide robust geochronology, source-tracing and fluid-pathway insights that directly inform targeting decisions. Written for exploration geologists, mining professionals, and academic researchers, the book translates complex laboratory results into actionable exploration workflows—covering sample selection, data interpretation, tectonic context and case-driven examples relevant to greenstone belts, cratons and orogenic terranes across South America, Africa, Australia and North America.

You’ll gain practical skills to:
– Date mineralization events and bracket ore-forming episodes
– Differentiate crustal versus mantle-derived sources
– Constrain timing of hydrothermal fluids and metamorphism
– Integrate isotope data with geophysical and geochemical datasets for more efficient targeting

Readable yet technically rigorous, this volume is both a classroom companion and a field-ready reference. Whether you’re developing regional exploration programs or evaluating advanced-stage targets, it equips you to reduce drilling risk and improve discovery success.
