Geosensing techniques for mineral exploration and mine planning

Mineral Exploration Using Modern Data Mining Techniques

Returns from gold exploration have been disappointing over the last 20 years, despite the surge in quality and quantity of exploration data. Historically, major discoveries have occurred in waves following the introduction of new methods. This paper argues that the new methods driving the next wave of discoveries will be found in recent developments in data mining techniques, including visualiz...

Implementation of reporting code guidelines for mineral resources and mineral reserves using a general mine planning package

The mining industry worldwide has recognized in the past the need to apply specific rules and guidelines in the reporting of mineral resources and reserves. The high financial investment and risk associated with any mining project and the ever stricter environmental and social controls were the forces behind this recognition. For years the industry experienced the development and enforcement of...

Path Planning for Mine Countermeasures

We have developed path-planning techniques and tools to look for paths through minefields. Our techniques seek to balance the length and risk associated with different routes through a minefield. Our methods are intended to provide battlegroup commanders powerful new tools to evaluate alternative routes while searching for low risk paths. It is well known how to find the path of shortest distan...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
