Mineral resources and geo-engineering
Metals used in everyday life are produced from ores occurring in the Earth’s crust. Geological processes are known to concentrate minerals to form ores of economic value. Mineral processing engineers concentrate these ores by mechanical and physico-chemical methods while the extractive metallurgist extracts the metals by chemical means.

متن کاملPeak nothing: recent trends in mineral resource production.
The Hubbert-type analysis used to analyze the production history of oil is applied here to other raw materials. Many resources commonly thought of as being close to "peaking" such as lithium, helium, copper, and the rare earth elements, show no evidence of logistic behavior at any point in their production histories. Although many resources have exhibited logistic behavior in the past, many now...
متن کاملThe Russian Reserves & Resources Reporting System
The basis of all of the ‘international’ codes is a recognition of the diversity of mineral deposits, the types of data available, and the economic factors which are to be applied. They place ultimate responsibility for reports on a competent person or qualified person, whose professional judgment in applying the codes is the principal determinant in the figures which are presented. The reportin...
