Abstract:

The recognition and delineation of metallogenic epochs and
provinces are of fundamental importance to economic geologists
searching for metals. It is probable that any further discoveries of
significant metallic deposits will be made within these regions
(PROVINCES) and stratigraphic horizons (EPOCHS).
