Description

Valuation of Alluvial Deposits is a non-fiction technical and reference book by H. L. H. Harrison, published in 1954. This specialized work provides detailed methods and formulas for estimating the value of mineral deposits found in alluvial (river or stream bed) environments, such as gold and tin. This cloth-bound, Illustrated book is a valuable resource for mining engineers, prospectors, and historians of mid-20th-century mining practices.

Synopsis

Title: Valuation Of Alluvial Deposits
Author/Publisher: H L H Harrison (Mining Publications)
Publication Year: 1954
Format: Illustrated Cloth

H. L. H. Harrison's 'Valuation Of Alluvial Deposits' is a dedicated non-fiction work, published in 1954 by Mining Publications. This volume explores the intricate methodologies and scientific principles required for assessing the economic potential of mineral deposits found in alluvial environments.

Primarily aimed at adults involved in the mining and geological sciences, the book provides detailed insights into the techniques for evaluating these valuable natural resources. Its focus on 'alluvial deposits' indicates a specialisation in sediment-borne minerals, often including precious metals like gold and industrial minerals such as tin, found in riverbeds, deltas, and ancient floodplains.

• Foundations of Alluvial Geology: This section likely lays the groundwork by exploring the geological processes that lead to the formation of alluvial deposits, detailing the environments where valuable minerals accumulate.
• Technical Valuation Methods: The core of the book, it would outline precise methods and calculations for quantitatively assessing the worth of these deposits, a critical skill for prospectors and mining engineers.
• Illustrated Practical Guide: As an original, illustrated work, the book would feature diagrams, maps, or charts, enhancing understanding of geological formations, sampling techniques, or valuation formulas for practical application.

For enthusiasts of geological history, economic geology, or the technical aspects of mineral extraction, Harrison's 'Valuation Of Alluvial Deposits' remains a significant original resource. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the scientific and practical considerations that underpinned mineral exploration in the mid-20th century.
