Surface samples have been collected from Kerala coast, Valapatanam-Azhikode deposit of northern Kerala coast. The average heavy minerals percentage shows 30.32 %. The heavy mineral assemblage of samples from area showed an appreciable percentage of opaque followed by sillimanite and zircon. The chemical analysis carried out for the present investigation, is detailed as Ferrian ilmenite. X-ray d...

This report describes work completed during the eleventh quarter of a DOE-funded study of mineral transformations and ash deposition during staged combustion. Accomplishments included repairs and improvements to the laboratory combustor, collection of deposits and observation of deposition behavior as a function of operating conditions, and analysis of deposit samples collected under both stage...

This article describes the geology and industrial mineral potential of corundum, pyrophyllite and andaluite at the Empress deposit in the Taseko Lakes area (Figure 1). The Empress is a copper-goldmolybdenum porphyry deposit located 225 kilometres north of Vancouver and 50 kilometres northwest of Goldbridge and the Bralorne mining camp. Fine-grained corundum, in association with andalusite-pyrop...

in the present study, a new modelling technique was developed for the modelling and analysis of hyperchaotic systems using an expert system based on wavelet decompositions and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis). the success and superior properties of this new expert system were shown by applying the hyperchaotic chen system which is a hyperchaotic system. the obtained expert s...

Measurements of mineral grades of an industrial mineral deposit (talcum) are used in a geostatistical case study. The data available come from a quality sampling scheme of the operating mine and can be assigned to two stoping layers each 3 m thick. The aim of the study is to establish a quality model on the basis of the mined blocks of the deposit. This will be used in the direct control of the...

This paper is an initial report on the mineral chemistry of four metamorphosed stratabound mineral deposits which are located within or adjacent to the Shuswap Complex. These are commonly referred t” as Cottonbelt, CK, Goldstream and Big I.edge deposits. Rock specimens were selected from those collected by Trygve H6y of the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch. The particular specimens cho...

One of the major strengths of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in geosciences is the ability to integrate and combine multiple layers into mineral potential maps showing areas which are favorable for mineral exploration. These capabilities make GIS an extremely useful tool for mineral exploration. Several spatial modeling techniques can be employed to produce potential maps. However, these...
