Traditional geostatistical estimation techniques have been used predominantly by the mining industry for ore reserve estimation. Determination of mineral reserve has posed considerable challenge to mining engineers due to the geological complexities of ore body formation. Extensive research over the years has resulted in the development of several state-of-the-art methods for predictive spatial...

This contribution illustrates the procedures of calculating rare earth element (REE) patterns of magmatic fluids in equilibrium with granitic melts. These patterns can then be compared to those of altered and (or) mineralized rocks in order to investigate the source of the ore-fluids. This technique is applied to the Lake George Sb-Au-W-Mo mineral deposit, New Brunswick, Canada. The results sug...

ABSTRACT:Iron ore is the main mineral resources to support China's national economy, and open-pit mining is the main way. Chemical analysis has its disadvantages in terms of the determination of iron-ore type, such as slow speed and high cost. Therefore this study has put forward a method to determine iron-ore type through field spectrum analysis. First various types of iron-ore samples were co...

A flotation pre-treatment study for the separation of enargite (Cu3AsS4) from chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) ores of different origins was investigated in this work. The copper ore bearing enargite mineral contained 5.87mass% As and 16.50mass% Cu while the chalcopyrite bearing ore contained 0.32mass% As and 21.63mass% Cu. The two ore samples were mixed at 7 : 3 (enargite : chalcopyrite) by weight ratio ...

For a non-commutative domain R and a multiplicatively closed set S the (left) Ore localization of R at S exists if and only if S satisfies the (left) Ore property. Since the concept has been introduced by Ore back in the 1930’s, Ore localizations have been widely used in theory and in applications. We investigate the arithmetics of the localized ring SR from both theoretical and practical point...

The long-standing controversy about the origin of magnetite-(apatite) mineral deposits pertains to how they form. Pleistocene El Laco deposit in northern Chile is a critical location because host andesite contains immiscible melt inclusions trapped plagioclase and clinopyroxene phenocrysts that reveal involvement melts evolution Volcanic System hosting mineralization. We present results from fi...

The Christmas copper mine is in the Banner mining district, Gila County, Arizona. It is 8 miles north of Winkelman and 22 miles south of Globe. The mine was opened in 1905; to the end of 1943 it had produced about 55,340,000 pounds of copper. In 1946 it was operated under lease. The ore is high-lime fluxing ore, required by the smelter at Hayden. The ore produced during 1942 averaged 2.16 perce...

truncated gaussian simulation (tgs) is a well-known method to generate realizations of the ore domains located in a spatial sequence. in geostatistical framework geological domains are normally utilized for stationary assumption. the ability to measure the uncertainty in the exact locations of the boundaries among different geological units is a common challenge for practitioners. as a simple a...

In the search for opportunities to decrease operational costs in iron ore mining, waste disposal by conveyor belt has been considered as an alternative. In this work, this form of waste dump is investigated by means of the construction of a test pile and the assessment of geotechnical characteristics such as shear strength and in situ densities. Results were compared with two other dumps built ...
