5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent sourcebook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Exploration and Mining Geology, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This book has been very useful to me. I have a small mine of my own and have used it extensively. I had a hard time locating a good book on the subject...I went through the University of Arizona library. It's a bit expensive, but if you use it, it's worth it.
