Hello, this is Peter
Laznicka's
Total Metallogeny website
in Adelaide and if mineral deposits are on
your mind, please read on
(About TotMet)
I was professor of Mineral Deposits at
the University of Manitoba for 27 years, then 5 years with the Data Metallogenica
Project in Adelaide. In my spare time I consulted and
visited close to 4000 mines and ore deposits in some 144
countries and territories, gathering facts. These eywitness-rich facts
have made it to my 8 books (Empirical Metallogeny, Breccias, Total Metallogeny,
Giant Metallic Deposits) and since 1970 to Data Metallogenica
(DM), a
knowledge base now on-line (read DataMet).This
website is a continuation of my mission to treat ore
deposits as a part of geological whole.

I
continue researching global metallogeny and have written another book,
but have still some time left to offer assistance in:
- Development of exploration
concepts
- Rapid selection and
assessment of prospective areas, worldwide (languages
capability, been to 100+ countries)
- Training, mentoring,
lecturing, short courses, seminars, report/papers tutoring
- Volume reduction of
geological materials holdings, establishment of real
rock/ore databases
|
Total Metallogeny-GEOSITES is a combination of a 750plus
pages color electronic book and a 3x1 m poster, a massive
original compilation of 241 empirical rock-forming environments
and lithologic associations, showing ores they (potentially)
contain with their usual setting. Available as a 2004 DVD-ROM (1.34 Gb)
from which you
can print and customize it as you please. About AUD 100 (USD
75); ISBN 0
908039 79 4; 1800 references.
Giant
Metallic Deposits and Future Sources of Industrial Metals:
a high-yield 730 page book with a CD-ROM with database of giant
deposits and ~80 modified geosites from the above. 90%+ of the
world's ore giants covered, up to date, ~1500 references.
Springer-Verlag Heidelberg, Berlin, N.Y., probable publication

Data
Metallogenica is a realistic "rock library" of
uniformly organized miniature sample sets that represent ore
deposits and rock associations, attached to aluminum plates and
stored like books in slotted cabinets. Some 3500 sets @ ~20
samples (~70,000 samples) represent ~3000+ deposits in 144
countries & territories. Presently owned by AMIRA
International, physical collection (presently in doldrums) based in
Adelaide, images on-line broadcast from Melbourne;
