The development of the World Wide Web has revolutionised research and education in many scientific fields. Of particular interest to geo-scientists is the ability to link animated 3-dimensional (3D) models to Web documents, a facility that has arisen out of developments in the field of advanced computer graphics, computer animation and virtual reality. The use of the Virtual Reality Modeling La...

In this work, the concentration gradient (CG) analysis of local-scale exploration for Porphyry-Cu deposits is applied in two zones using the G(Vz) index (CG(Zn*Pb)/CG(Cu*Mo)). The first zone is covered by a 1:2000 map of the Sungun and Astamal areas in NW Iran and the second one in the Inza area in British Columbia, Canada. The rock samples are taken from Sungun and Astamal and the soil samples...

This report describes the preliminary re.wlts of surficial geological mapping during the 1992 field season in the Chilanko Forks (93Cil) and Chezacut 193CiX) map areas (Figure 4. IO-1 ). As part of the Canad;~ f3ritish Cofumhia Mineral Developme~~t Agreement, the British Columbia Geological Survey Rranch proposed to map the surlicial geology of these weiis to deriw drift exploration potential m...

Overview: The objectives of the Earth-Mars Cave Detection Project is to identify regions on Mars likely to contain caves and/or cave-bearing geology through (1) the analysis of multispectral imagery from past and current orbital missions and other orbital assets (e.g., radar), and (2) the investigation of terrestrial analogs for the identification of associated thermal, and geosignatures. The p...

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.

Today’s economic growth rate of any country hugely depends on development of the mining sector. Thus, the level of technology employed for meeting the extraction conditions must meet environmental norms. Exploration of mineral resources in India and mining is a ready application for technologies for ensuring productivity and efficiency. Mineral resources management uses Spatial Data Infrastruct...

This investigation was conducted in order to identify the heavy minerals of the beach sands of Carmel Bay, and to analyze the distribution of these minerals, Carmel Bay offers the opportunity to study heavy mineral assemblages in a small isolated bay, internally divided by a submarine canyon, containing smaller pocket beaches influenced by several geological formations and two fresh water strea...

The purpose of mineral exploration is to find ore deposits. The main aim of this work is to use the fuzzy inference system to integrate the exploration layers including the geological, remote sensing, geochemical, and magnetic data. The studied area was the porphyry copper deposit of the Kahang area in the preliminary stage of exploration. Overlaying of rock units and tectonic layers were used ...
