Intrusion-related gold systems: the present level of understanding
This volume presents new data on a group of gold deposits that are hosted primarily within or in the immediate wall rocks to intrusions, and which have recently been suggested to comprise a distinct class of magmatic-hydrothermal system. These deposits have been called 'porphyry gold deposits...

This volume presents new data on a group of gold deposits that are hosted primarily within or in the immediate wall rocks to intrusions, and which have recently been suggested to comprise a distinct class of magmatic-hydrothermal system.
