Ore Deposits as related to Structural Features

THE study of the genesis of ore deposits does not appeal to geologists in Great Britain (with a few notable exceptions) to anything like the same extent it does in the United States and Canada. In America a great and growing number of men have adopted economic geology applied to mining as a profession, and interesting contributions to the science regularly appear in the scientific and technical press. The reason may be due to greater interest shown in mining ventures by people in America, or may result from greater opportunities for practising the profession provided by the many diverse types of deposits found there.
