Geochemistry and Potassium-Argon Ages of Plutonic Rocks in the Battle Mountain Mining District, Lander County, Nevada.
This 24-page book details a study of the plutonic rocks in this still-active mining district. This area is not far from where I live and is still being mined today. There are a variety of igneous rocks of varying ages from Cretaceous to Eocene, and the ages and geochemistry are studied to relate the intrusions to the copper-gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralization of the area. It is an interesting report on a district that has been almost continuously mined for over a hundred years, and a helpful reference on the district and some of the mines there.
These reports on active mining districts are some of the harder ones to obtain.
Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
