Ore Geology Reviews is a peer-reviewed scientific journal focused on the study of ore deposits, mineral systems, and related economic geology subjects. It publishes original research, reviews, and syntheses that integrate field observations, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics to address mineral exploration, resource assessment, and tectono-metallogenic evolution. The journal serves researchers, exploration professionals, and policy-makers interacting with mining regions, metallogenic provinces, and academic institutions.
The journal was established in 1986 amid expanding interest in mineral exploration driven by events such as the 1980s metal price fluctuations, the rise of multinational mining firms like Rio Tinto Group, BHP, and Anglo American plc, and increased academic focus at institutions such as Imperial College London, University of Toronto, and University of Western Australia. Early editorial leadership included scholars connected to organizations like the Society of Economic Geologists and collaborations with national surveys including the United States Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the British Geological Survey. Over ensuing decades the journal reflects shifts linked to initiatives like the International Mineralogical Association programs, the growth of isotope geochemistry at places such as Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory and ETH Zurich, and evolving exploration paradigms associated with companies like Newmont Corporation and Barrick Gold. The journal expanded during periods coincident with major mining developments in regions governed by states such as Chile, Australia, Peru, South Africa, and Kazakhstan.
The journal emphasizes multidisciplinary studies of ore-forming processes, with contributions spanning magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic, and sedimentary systems. Typical topics intersect with research from Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Arizona, Colorado School of Mines, and research centers including CSIRO and GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. Subjects include metallogeny of provinces like the Andean orogeny, the Carlin trend, the Bushveld Complex, and the Urals. Analytical approaches often draw on methods developed at facilities such as Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Max Planck Society institutes, and link to techniques promoted by programs at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The journal routinely covers mineral systems related to commodities produced by companies such as Glencore, Freeport-McMoRan, Vale S.A., and Antofagasta plc.
Published by Elsevier, the journal operates a conventional peer-review process coordinated by an editor-in-chief supported by an international editorial board with members from universities including University of Melbourne, University of Chile, University of British Columbia, Peking University, and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Editorial decisions reflect input from reviewers affiliated with professional societies such as the Geological Society of America, the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Manuscript handling leverages online systems used across Elsevier titles and integrates editorial standards comparable to journals like Economic Geology, Mineralium Deposita, and Journal of Petrology.
The journal is cited in work from scholars at institutions including University of Copenhagen, University of Oxford, Harvard University, University of Freiburg, and Université Grenoble Alpes. Its articles inform industry practice among engineers and geologists at firms such as Teck Resources, KGHM Polska Miedź, and South32. Citation metrics and influence parallel thematic reviews published in venues tied to conferences like the Society of Economic Geologists Conference and the International Geological Congress, and the journal contributes to policy dialogues involving agencies such as the European Commission and national ministries of mining in nations including Peru and Zambia.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic and citation databases used by researchers at Clarivate Analytics products, bibliometric services linked to Scopus and ScienceDirect, and databases employed by university libraries at Columbia University, Yale University, and University of Tokyo. It appears in subject-specific indexing resources related to earth sciences and is discoverable through institutional consortia aligning with organizations such as CrossRef and ORCID infrastructures.
The journal has published influential syntheses and special issues focused on topics tied to regions and events such as the Andean metallogenic belt, the discovery and evolution of deposits in the Labrador Trough, and thematic collections on low-temperature mineralization, critical metal systems, and base metal provinces. Guest-edited issues have involved contributors from centers like CSIRO, Instituto de Geología UNAM, Geological Survey of Finland, University of Pretoria, and Moscow State University, and featured work by well-known researchers affiliated historically with Curtin University, Monash University, and Trinity College Dublin.
Access follows Elsevier’s hybrid publishing model, combining subscription-based access used by academic libraries at University College London and McGill University with open-access options driven by mandates from funders such as the European Research Council and national research councils including the Australian Research Council and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Institutional subscriptions and article processing charges influence availability for researchers at commercial entities like AngloGold Ashanti and public surveys such as the Geological Survey of India.
