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...

Estimation of ore reserves is one of the most critical aspects of mining geology. The accurate assessment of the tonnage and grade of run of mine may be the difference between a healthy profitable operation and an expensive early mine closure. The first step in ore reserve estimation is to determine the boundary of ore body or ore/waste contacts. This paper presents a specific mining applicatio...

In this work, the shaft furnace reactor of the MIDREX® process is simulated. This is a counter current gas-solid reactor, which transforms iron ore pellets into sponge iron. Simultaneous mass and energy balance along the reactor leads to a set of ordinary differential equation with two points boundary conditions. The iron ore reduction kinetics was modelated with the unreacted shrinking core mo...

barika gold (and silver) rich massive sulfide deposit is located 18 km east of sardasht, north western part of sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone. rock units outcropped in this area are cretaceous metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks in green schist facies, and include association of meta-andesite, meta-tuffite, phyllite and slate rocks, where the meta-andesitic unit (kmv1) is host rock to the...

In this paper we describe a method for segmenting the image of fragmented ore into regions and estimating a size distrubution of the ore fragments. As the image grey level is inadequate for determining the rock boundary, we propose a two-step method for segmentation. First step, apply a region growing algorithm to construct a primary region division from the image grey level. Second step, use a...

This contribution addresses the development of a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for a set of time-varying hyperbolic PDEs coupled with a set of time-varying ODEs through the boundary. The approach is based on an infinitedimensional Hilbert state-space realization of the system and operator Riccati equation (ORE). In order to solve the optimal control problem, the ORE is converted to a set of ...

Motivated by the construction of new examples of Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension four, J.J.Zhang and J.Zhang (2008) introduced an algebra extension AP [y1, y2;σ, δ, τ ] of A, which they called a double Ore extension. This construction seems to be similar to that of a two-step iterated Ore extension over A. The aim of this paper is to describe those double Ore extensions whic...

According to the publication by US Minerals Survey in 1999, the total reserve of manganese ore in the world is 0.66 billion tons. See Table 1.
