Reference:   Porter, T.M. (ed.), 2000 - Hydrothermal Iron Oxide Copper-Gold and Related Deposits: A Global Perspective, vol. 1, PGC Publishing, Adelaide, 350p.   ISBN 978-0-9580574-0-0.
This is the first of a four volume set, which collectively, represent one of the few comprehensive texts available on the important Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) family of deposits.   This 350 page soft cover and e-book has 24 papers, including overviews from leading international experts and descriptive papers on the classic districts/deposits around the world.
The papers of this volume were invited, reviewed and edited by T M (Mike) Porter of Porter GeoConsultancy Pty Ltd (PGC).   Edition 1 was published through the Australian Mineral Foundation Inc. (AMF) in November 2000;   Edition 2 was published by PGC Publishing in 2002 after being unconditionally assigned copyright by the AMF.   An upgraded Edition 3 was released in 2011.
