The Mineral Deposits Of South America

By Benjamin LeRoy Miller, Joseph Theophilus Singewald, Joseph T Singewald

Book Overview

A landmark study of subterranean riches across South America. A practical, scholarly field companion. The Mineral Deposits of South America (by L. Miller, Benjamin) gathers careful observations and organised descriptions of ore occurrences from the era of early 20th century geology, offering a rare window into the geology of the Andes and the mining history of South America. Clear in tone yet technical in scope, it serves as a South American geology guide, a mineral exploration reference and a geological survey handbook; an ore deposits study prized by geologists and mining engineers, and used historically by prospectors and institutions charting mining resources of South America. Readers will find systematic attention to deposit types, regional context and economic implications, which gives the work continued value as an academic research collection entry, and as a practical economic geology textbook for students seeking a grounded introduction to Latin American minerals. Its comparative approach crosses political borders to place discoveries in regional perspective, so the same volume is useful to modern exploration teams and to scholars tracing the development of geological thought across the continent. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Accessible to casual readers intrigued by natural history and industrial heritage, yet restored with the fidelity that classic-literature collectors expect, this edition invites both armchair explorers and working professionals to read and reference the text. Collectors will appreciate its historical provenance and scholarly temperament; casual readers will value clear explanations that illuminate the geology beneath Andean peaks and coastal plains. University libraries and private shelves will prize its provenance, while historians and practitioners alike may return to its pages for both context and reference. An essential addition.
