12. Ore Deposit Structure - The Key to Value

Even before plate tectonic theory, economic geologists knew there was an association with ore deposits and geologic structures. Nowadays, most successful exploration companies understand the importance of understanding structural controls of an ore-forming system and incorporate structural geologists in their exploration programs. This episode of focuses on the regional tectonic and deposit-scale structural controls on ore deposition, specifically on volcanic-hosted massive sulfide, epitherm...
