the following salient features: 1. Chemical heterogeneity in the lithosphere – three distribution patterns: a) Occurrence of metallogenic provinces characterized by specific metal(s) e.g. Arizona Cu (Archaean to Tertiary)‚ Colorado plateau U-V ores (Triassic to Tertiary) b) Occurrence of barren tracts between regions of phenomenally rich mineralization (eg. Ecuador and New England states) c) S. African greenstone belt represents mantle heterogeneity of the extreme type as nearly 67% of the world’s
