Much of the world's mineral wealth is produced from natural rock fractures. For example, many of the low-temperature hydrothermal mineral deposits--primarily lead, zinc, and copper--are in crevices in natural fracture systems. Often these deposits are concentrated where fracture permeability has allowed water to dissolve away some of the parent rock. Subsequently, the fractures became avenues of permeability which allowed mineral bearing fluids to migrate and collect .
