Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2017
“Abzalov, an experienced geologist, offers a wide-ranging, intensely practical volume that succinctly covers the basic sciences and methodologies of the evaluation and development of ore deposits in modern times. … This reviewer recommends that no student or professional within the modern mining industry (whether scientist or business worker) should be without ready access to this essential reference volume. Summing Up: Essential. Lower-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals.” (T. L. T. Grose, Choice, Vol. 54 (7), March, 2017)
“The publication is organised in seven parts, covering various aspects of mining geology and its application to enable decision-making on mines. … it does provide geologists with a good understanding to analyse the impact of decisions in drill spacing, mining unit size, uncertainty in geology and sampling, and many other variables, and todemonstrate this to the broader mining disciplines. I would recommend it as a handbook to aspiring and current mining geology professionals.” (Pamela Naidoo-Ameglio, The AusIMM Bulletin, ausimmbulletin.com, December, 2016)
