In preparing this book on tin geology, I have attempted a blend of academic and practical information which I hope will prove of value to research-exploration and mining specialists. The text is designed to give an overview, and does not attempt to cover details of individual tinfields or mines. However, extensive source reverences are provided and considerable data are contained within tables and diagrams. There are no modern comprehensive texts and on geological aspects of tin and the work is designed as an introduction to the field and emanated from a course given to the Australian Mineral Foundation in 1976. As in the preparation of all texts it becomes necessary to draw a line concerning the incorporation of new data. The cut-off point is data in hand around mid-1978. After some fifteen years of association with the tin industry it would prove impossible to acknowledge the numerous people who have contributed towards this monograph. I have many debts of gratitude to individuals in many countries who have given willingly of their time, knowledge and resources. I can only express my thanks and hope that this account will repay a little of the debt. Although it is invidious to nominate individuals, I feel sure that few would take exception to my special thanks to professor K.F.G. Hosking. His influence as a long standing colleague, and as a prolific writer on tin deposits, is apparent in many sections of this book.
