The number of the depoeite discuaiod is therefc~ore very large, and com- prieao a total of about 100 individual deposits. The work has taken on the character of a great scientific study which has no counterpart. Up to now, no c z prehenoive, teodern stuyr of the German ore deposits has been available. Those works vich include a discussion oi' ore deposits or ore minou within the scope of t-he Qeroan mineral wealth (such ao Eiger "Die Bodenuchaatse Deutechlands") are either obsolete or inadaquate. An entirely new work bad thus to be created. Thin was very difficult, since the data for the stu4 (files, statietics, reyorte, drawings, etc.), both in the poseenolon of private firms and of authorities, had been dcrtrc~yed to a large extent during the war and following Uermagy's collapoe, while another part of the data, especially those held by the Government, had been transferred to other Zones and were, therefore, beyond our reach. The ntudy is, therefore, not equmlly thorough and complete for all regions discussed. The most ca~lete section is that dealing with the deposits in the Soviet Zone, most of which - save for a few exceptions - were treated exhaustively. The deposits in the other Zones, which account for the greatest part of the nonferrous metal production of Germany, could not be presented as completely, because the difficulties in obtaining the Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/04 : CIA-RDP82-00039R000100060022-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/04 : CIA-RDP82-00039R000100060022-1 necessary material for study were insurmountable. This cpplies e.peci&111y to all .tatietical data on metal contents, production, ore narvea, operational conditions, etc. This material contains a n*aber of greet gape. It can be stated vithout fear of ezaggeration that the losses caused by war in the field of geology are irreplaceable. The material in this monogiaph is arranged by mstals, or by group. of metals. tech group is introduced. with a general reviev of the geological occurrence of the metals in Question, follo+nd by a discussion of the indiYidual deposits, arranged by regions. At the end, the pro- duction and economic importance of each group of metals are discussed. As distinguished fra? research topic 1/1(3112), this monograph places the emphasis on the discussion of mineralogical and geological conditions. Accordingly, the following subjects are treated in detail: Content and structure of the deposit, distribution of ore vithin the deposit, metal content, ore reserves, genesis. These chapters are followed by those dealing with operational conditions, production during the past fev years, and economic potential. The monograph is divided into 16 ms-jor sections, arranged by metals. It begins vith a general auramlary of the regional distribution of the German nonferrous metal deposits and the genetic types of the deposits. This is folland by a discussion of the lead-zinc deposit., which are the most important ones of Oeraa y. Five volumes are devoted to this topic, covering the deposits in the Freiberg region, the Harz Naantains, the region along both banks of the Rhine, the Black Forest, and Upper Silesia, a total of about 50 different deposits. A special section deals vith the pure lead ore deposit., of sedimentary origin and containing no zinc and silver, which are few in number but econaa- ically important. me second greatest role among the nonferrous metals in Germany is played by the deposits of copper, which are treated in three volumes. The emphasis here is placed on the Upper Peraian sedimentary copper deposit., which supply ores of poor quality but which cover a great ?V Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/04 : CIA-RDP82-00039R000100060022-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/04/04 : CIA-RDP82-00039R000100060022-1 I '7 area (control and west aerman copper ehaie and Lover Silesian copper marl). The study of the copper shale was carried out by the llsnsfeld A.0? of Eisleben. The bydrothermal copper vein., althau b n Brous, of only eligbt importance. Throe volumes treat the tin end tungsten deposits, which ar. of economic importance only in the area of the Srsgsbirgs in 8azony. They are divided into pure tin deposits, tin?t"agstea deposits, and pur. tungsten daposite. Eigbteen individual deposits, among them several classical types of the deposits or the Ers?sbirge, are discussed therein. of great eciontific interest, althouugb still of slight economic importance, are the cobalt?nickal?biemuth?uraz-ium~ daposits, the classi- cal developn.nt of which also occurred in the Erzgebirge (8chnaeberg and Johanngeorgenstadt). Unigportent deposits o: analogous types are found in other regions of Oer nr. 'Borever, the pu nickel deposits, especially the Silesian garnierite deposits, are of greater importance. In addition to the Meggen deposit in Westphalia, which is one of the greatest in Europe, the pyrite deposits include a number of limited or minor importance, especially in Bavaria, in the Bars Mountains, and in the Rhineland. This exhausts the topic or nonferrous metal deposits in Oertsny which are of ecofCsic importance. A final valum~. then gives a short sumsneary of the unimportant deposits of antimony, arsenic, mercury, chromium, gold, and bauxite. Tho final chapter, with the aid of statistical data, presents a c * nation of the economic importance of the mining of nonferrous metals for OexmD7 and a comparison with world production, and the potential developwnt of the Oer~an nonferrous metal deposits Gn the basis of the evaluation carried out during the put ten to twelve years. The entire monograph contains approxisately 2,500 Pages, in 15 volumes.
