introduction mesgar iron occurrence is located in northwestern part of the central iran, 115 km south of zanjan. although there is a sequence of volcanic-pyroclastic rocks accompanied by iron mineralization, no detailed works had been conducted in the area. the present paper provides an overview of the geological framework, the mineralization characteristics, and the results of geochemical stud...

introduction a wide variety of world-class porphyry cu deposits occur in the urumieh-dohktar magmatic arc (udma) of iran.the arc is composed of calc-alkaline granitoid rocks, and the ore-hosting porphyry intrusions are dominantly granodiorite to quartz-monzonite (zarasvandi et al., 2015). it is believed that faults played an important role in the emplacement of intrusions and subsequentporphyry...

introduction the study area is located in central part of the khaf- kashmar-bardeskan belt which is volcano-plutonic belt at the north of the dorouneh fault in the north of lut block. the north of the lut block is affected by tectonic rotation and subduction processes which occur in the east of iran (tirrul et al., 1983). the magmatism of lut block begins in jurassic and continues in tertiary (...

NIOSH continues to conduct respirable dust control research for surface mine blasthole drilling operations. Research areas have included testing variables (shroud leakage area, drill deck cross-sectional area, shroud height, collector-to-bailing airflow ratio, etc.) that have the most impact on respirable dust control, development of a dust collector inlet hood, development of a dust collector ...

This report describes the results of a comprehensive surficial geologic mapping effort undertaken to support the development of a series of relative flood hazard maps of the Ivanpah Valley area, Clark County, Nevada. The study area spans approximately 1030 km2 (398 mi2) and is defined by all of three and part of one internally drained basins between Las Vegas and Primm, Nevada. The proximity of...
