Engineers in the mining industry often must solve problems while in the field at prospects, projects, or places far from any personal bookshelf, company office, or public or private library. And it isn’t always feasible to bring along the voluminous authoritative books on mining topics so familiar to the profession. This handbook, then, is designed to fill the technical reference gap for the mobile professional who is away from the normal workplace with its comprehensive store of technical information and resources. It is a distillation of key technical information from the mining literature.
This text seeks to demonstrate how mining companies that adopt the ISO management standards could, at the same time, integrate them into the tailings management model represented by the Tailings Guide by Mining Association of Canada and demonstrate adherence to the Global Standard developed by the Global Tailings Review, while adopting the quality management approach advocated by the authors, aimed at the design and construction of tailings dams. <...>
Depth imaging is changing the face of seismic technology. First and foremost, depth imaging greatly extends our ability to image geologic structure. This is true not only for highly complex structures such as thrust imbricates and subsalt structures, but also for subtle structural plays like fault shadows. In fact, since the late 1980’s, almost all structural play exploration has been stalled at the frontier where time imaging is no longer effective. In the 1990’s depth imaging has taken us through this frontier and is renewing many of these structural plays.
Quantitative modeling techniques and methods are central to the study and development of process engineering, and mineral processing is no exception. Models in mineral processing have been difficult to develop because of the complexity of the unit operations that are used in virtually all mineral recovery systems. Chief among these difficulties is the fact that the feed material is invariably a particulate solid. Many of the conventional mathematical modeling techniques that are commonly used for process equipment have limited application to particulate systems and models for most unit operations in mineral processing have unique features. Common ground is quite difficult to find. The one obvious exception is the population balance technique and this forms a central thread that runs throughout the modeling techniques that are described in this book. The models that are described are certainly incomplete in many respects, and these will be developed and refined by many researchers during the years ahead. Nevertheless, the models are useful for practical quantitative work and many have been widely used to assist in the design of new equipment and processes. Some of the newer models have not yet been seriously tested in the industrial environment <...>
Geophysics, or physics modelling of geological phenomena, is as old and as established as geoscience itself. The statistical physics modelling of various geophysical phenomena, earthquake in particular, is comparatively recent. This book intends to cover these recent developments in modelling various geophysical phenomena, including the imposing classic phenomenon of earthquakes, employing various statistical physical ideas and techniques. This first book on statistical physics modelling of geophysical phenomena contains extensive reviews by almost all the leading experts in the field and should be widely useful to the graduate students and researchers in geoscience and statistical physics. It grew out of the lecture notes from a workshop on “Models of Earthquakes: Physics Approaches”, held in Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, under the auspices of its Centre for Applied Mathematics and Computational Science in December 2005. The book is divided in four parts. In the first part, tutorial materials are
During mining for mineral resources and the erection of subterranean constructions one has to deal with a medium that is extremely complex in composition and has diverse mechanical properties and laws of deformation. To achieve these objectives one is compelled to utilise a large set of technological schemes and types of mine workings. In spite of the vast scale on which mining work and related scientific investigations are carried out, the development of mineral resources is such a complex problem that no unique laws have been defined to date to describe the behaviour of rock massifs which might be disturbed during mining operations or when they interact with engineering structures.
This book describes a unique approach using the principles of rock fracture mechanics to investigate the behaviour of fractured rock masses for rock engineering purposes.
Rock fracture mechanics, a promising outgrowth of rock mechanics and fracture mechanics, has developed rapidly in recent years, driven by the need for in-depth understanding of rock mass failure processes in both fundamental research and rock engineering designs.
Today, as rock engineering extends into many more challenging fields (like mining at depth, radioactive waste disposal, geothermal energy, and deep and large underground spaces), it requires knowledge of rock masses, complex coupled thermal–hydraulic–chemical–mechanical processes. Rock fracture mechanics play a crucial role in these complex coupled processes simply because rock fractures are the principal carrier and common interface <...>
Gold occurs as primary commodity in a wide range of gold deposit types and settings. In the last decade, significant progress has been made in the classification, definition and understanding of the main gold deposit types. Three main clans of deposits are now broadly defined, each including a range of specific deposit types with common characteristics and tectonic settings. The orogenic clan has been introduced to include vein-type deposits formed during crustal shortening of their host greenstone, BIF or clastic sedimentary rock sequences. Deposits of the new reduced intrusion-related clan share an Au-Bi-Te-As metal signature and an association with moderately reduced equigranular post-orogenic granitic intrusions. Oxidized intrusion-related deposits, including porphyry, skarn, and high-sulfidation epithermal deposits, are associated with high-level, oxidized porphyry stocks in magmatic arcs. Other important deposit types include Carlin, low-sulfidation epithermal, Au-rich VMS and Witwatersrand deposits. The key geology features of the ore-forming environments and the key geologic manifestations of the different deposit types form the footprints of ore systems that are targeted in exploration programs. Important progress has been made in our ability to integrate, process, and visualize increasingly complex datasets in 2D GIS and 3D platforms. For gold exploration, important geophysical advances include airborne gravity, routine 3D inversions of potential field data, and 3D modeling of electrical data. Improved satellite-, airborne- and field-based infrared spectroscopy has significantly improved alteration mapping around gold systems, extending the dimensions of the footprints and enhancing vectoring capabilities. Conventional geochemistry remains very important to gold exploration, while promising new techniques are being tested. Selection of the appropriate exploration methods must be dictated by the characteristics of the targeted model, its geologic setting, and the surficial environment. Both greenfield and brownfield exploration contributed to the discovery of major gold deposits (>2.5 moz Au) in the last decade but the discovery rates have declined significantly. Geologists are now better equipped than ever to face this difficult challenge, but geological understanding and quality field work were important discovery factors and must remain the key underpinnings of exploration programs.
