Title: Potential martian mineral resources: Mechanisms and terrestrial analogues
Authors: West, Michael D.1,2 michael.west@anu.edu.au, Clarke, Jonathan D.A.3,4 jon.clarke@bigpond.com.au
Source: Planetary & Space Science. Mar2010, Vol. 58 Issue 4, p574-582. 9p.
Subjects: Volcanic activity prediction, Mars surface samples, Hydrothermal deposits, Biomineralization, Impact craters, Ores, Earth analogs to Martian geology, Martian exploration, Martian surface, Mars (Planet)
Abstract: Abstract: The future exploration of Mars is likely to utilize resources that can be extracted in situ. An overview of the geology of Mars has been presented and several mechanisms that could result in the formation of ore deposits have been identified. These include deposits caused by hydrothermal fluids resulting from volcanic activity, large igneous province formation and impact craters. Surface enrichment of mineral sand deposits is also discussed. Where appropriate, terrestrial analogues of these mechanisms have been discussed and supporting evidence from observations of Mars undertaken to date presented. Types of deposits that are unlikely to be found on Mars are also listed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
