Franco Pirajno is a recognised expert on mineral systems, with more than 40 years of experience, in industry, academia and government. Considerable knowledge in tectonics, ore deposit geology in: Europe, southern Africa, South East Asia, New Zealand, southwest Pacific, China, southern Siberia, Greenland and Australia. He is the author of three books and a monograph on mineral deposits and of more than 110 peer-reviewed papers.
From the reviews:“The Geology and Tectonic Setting of China’s Mineral Deposits is a major accomplishment in that it brings together an extraordinary amount of material that has been published on these deposits in recent years. … this book is the first English-language summary of China’s mineral deposits and should be in all major earth-science libraries; it is a recommended purchase for anyone exploring in China or studying the nation’s metallogeny.” (Richard J. Goldfarb, Mineralium Deposita, Vol. 48, 2013)
