Potassic Igneous Rocks and Associated Gold-Copper Mineralization
暫譯: 鉀質火成岩及其相關的金銅礦化作用

本書回顧了鉀質火成岩複合體的地球化學和岩石學特徵，並探討了這些岩石出現的各種構造環境。作者提供了這些岩石的概述和分類，並闡明了貧礦和礦化鉀質火成岩複合體之間的地球化學差異。高鉀岩與多個熱液金和斑岩銅金礦床在基因上相關聯。近年來，這類岩石與氧化鐵銅金（IOCG）礦床、侵入相關金礦床（IRGD）及卡林型金礦床的關聯性也日益受到重視。

這是第五版更新擴充版，納入了來自全球一流銅金礦床的新數據和參考資料。它還包括有關高鉀岩漿作用及相關礦床的最新出版物。新版本中還包含了許多描述的礦床的新代表性礦石照片。因此，本書不僅為從事鹼性岩石研究的學術岩石學家提供了寶貴的指導，也為在現代和古代地形中勘探熱液金和/或斑岩銅金礦床的勘探地質學家提供了有用的參考。

Daniel Müller studied geology and mineralogy at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, after serving for three years as a First Lieutenant in the German Air Force. He received his Ph.D. from the Key Centre for Strategic Mineral Deposits, University of Western Australia, and completed his postdoctoral (Habilitation) degree at the Institute for Mineralogy, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. Daniel is a highly experienced geologist, having spent over 24 years exploring for base- and precious-metal deposits with international mining companies such as Placer Dome, North Limited, Ivanhoe Mines, Citadel Resource Group, Coventry Resources, BHP Billiton and QPX Chile, in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East. His exploration teams discovered additional resources of over 200,000 oz. of gold both at Kanowna Belle gold mine, Australia, and in the Jabal Shayban gold project, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, respectively. He is currently based in Santiago, where he is prospecting for porphyry copper deposits in the Chilean Andes with the Target Generation Team (NDP Team) of QPX Chile.

David I. Groves received his B.Sc. Honours (1st class) and Ph.D. from the University of Tasmania. He joined the University of Western Australia (UWA) as a lecturer in 1972, and became a full professor, founder and Director of the Key Centre for Strategic Mineral Deposits (later Centre for Global Metallogeny) in 1987. Throughout his career, he has supervised over 250 graduates for B.Sc. Honours, M.Sc., or Ph.D. degrees and authored or co-authored over 500 publications in Economic Geology. He has been President of the Geological Society of Australia, SEG and SGA, and has been awarded 11 medals for his research, including both the Gold Medals of SEG and SGA for lifetime contributions to Economic Geology and the Geological Association of Canada Medal. He is a fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences.

After retiring as Emeritus Professor, he was awarded an Honorary D.Sc. from the UWA and has consulted to the gold exploration industry and investment groups on all continents. He has also presented workshops on geological aspects of the business of exploration in Canada and the UK to brokers and investors. Recently, he has been a Visiting Professor at China University of Geosciences Beijing (CUGB), where he has lectured, mentored postgraduate students and co-authored several papers with CUGB staff and students. He has also become a novelist with his first novel "The Digital Apocalypse" published by Connor Court, Australia in 2015. He has a geological detective novel, "The Plagues Protocols", and a children's novel, "Naughty in Pink" in press with Austin Macauley Publishers, London UK, and a novel in Mandarin, "Destiny on Magic White Mountain", in press with Popular Science Press, Beijing, China.

丹尼爾·穆勒（Daniel Müller）在德國美因茲的約翰·古騰堡大學學習地質學和礦物學，並在德國空軍服役三年，擔任一級中尉。他在西澳大利亞大學的戰略礦產資源中心獲得博士學位，並在德國弗賴貝格工業大學的礦物學研究所完成了博士後（Habilitation）學位。丹尼爾是一位經驗豐富的地質學家，擁有超過24年的經驗，曾與國際礦業公司如Placer Dome、North Limited、Ivanhoe Mines、Citadel Resource Group、Coventry Resources、BHP Billiton和QPX Chile等合作，探索非洲、亞洲、澳大利亞、歐洲、北美和南美以及中東的基礎金屬和貴金屬礦床。他的勘探團隊在澳大利亞的Kanowna Belle金礦和沙烏地阿拉伯的Jabal Shayban金項目中，分別發現了超過200,000盎司的額外金資源。他目前駐紮在聖地亞哥，與QPX Chile的目標生成團隊（NDP Team）一起在智利安第斯山脈尋找斑岩銅礦床。

大衛·I·格羅夫斯（David I. Groves）在塔斯馬尼亞大學獲得一級榮譽學士學位（B.Sc. Honours）和博士學位（Ph.D.）。他於1972年加入西澳大利亞大學（UWA）擔任講師，並於1987年成為全職教授、戰略礦產資源中心（後來的全球金屬成因中心）的創始人和主任。在他的職業生涯中，他指導了超過250名獲得一級榮譽學士、碩士或博士學位的畢業生，並在經濟地質學領域發表或共同發表了超過500篇出版物。他曾擔任澳大利亞地質學會、SEG和SGA的會長，並因其研究獲得11枚獎牌，包括SEG和SGA的終身貢獻金獎和加拿大地質協會獎。他是澳大利亞科學院的院士。

在退休後擔任名譽教授時，他獲得了西澳大利亞大學的榮譽科學博士學位，並在所有大陸為金礦勘探行業和投資團體提供諮詢。他還在加拿大和英國為經紀人和投資者舉辦了有關勘探業務地質方面的研討會。最近，他在中國地質大學（北京）擔任訪問教授，講授課程、指導研究生，並與CUGB的教職員和學生共同撰寫了幾篇論文。他還成為了一名小說家，於2015年出版了他的第一部小說《數位啟示錄》（The Digital Apocalypse），由澳大利亞的Connor Court出版。他的地質偵探小說《瘟疫協議》（The Plagues Protocols）和兒童小說《粉紅色的調皮鬼》（Naughty in Pink）正在倫敦的Austin Macauley Publishers出版中，還有一部中文小說《命運在魔法白山》（Destiny on Magic White Mountain）正在北京的科學普及出版社出版中。
