The organization of this book follows the typical mining sequence that starts with the exploration phase aimed at delineating the mineral deposit and detailing its geology.
Geological objects can be singular, like the inverted cone-shaped diatreme of the El Teniente copper mine; more generally, they can be domains with given lithological, mineralogical, structural or alteration properties, which will be designated throughout this book under the name of ‘facies’, commonly used in geosciences. Within each facies, the metal grades have their own distribution and variability. This peculiarity will lead directly to the prediction or simulation of the grades (quantitative variables) taking into account the statistical and spatial characteristics of each facies (categorical variable).
We emphasize these four terms, which will be found throughout this book: prediction, simulation, quantitative variable and categorical variable <...>
In this book, management is defined as the process of generating plans and supervising their implementation. For a mineral resource, these plans relate to a strategy that determines how the resource is to be exploited. The process has two important aspects—one is the organizational setting within which it occurs, and the other is the set of techniques available for the analyses. Ideas in both areas have evolved rapidly in recent years and this book presents an authoritative review of the current state of the art.
The WA School of Mines, established in 1902, has been a core part of Curtin University since 1969 when it came on board to deliver mining education programs as part of what was then the Western Australian Institute of Technology.
As one of the first mining schools in Australia, it has adapted and expanded over more than a century to better support the education and research needs of the broader resources industry. In addition to retaining its mining roots, the School now also incorporates chemical engineering, mineral and energy economics and petroleum engineering. <...>

An evolution in applied mineralogy related to processing began in the mid 1960's, and significantly modified the scope of the field. Many new instruments were developed and enabled applied mineralogists to accurately determine a wider array of mineral characteristics than was previously possible. The results had a major impact on processing, and many operations now use applied mineralogy as a standard tool. The expanded scope of applied mineralogy made one realize that a dedicated mineralogist is essential at most large mining operations; a person who performs applied mineralogy as an adjunct to other duties can no longer develop the breadth of knowledge and experience that is required to recognize and determine mineral properties that affect different processes. It is also recognized that, to be able to assess what to look for, the applied mineralogist should be a member of a team performing investigations. <...>
В книге, представляющей первый специальный труд по данному вопросу, систематизированы все виды существующих методов измерения кусковатости на открытых и подземных горных разработках. Наряду с анализом сущности и степени точности, различных методов даны практические указания по их рациональному применению. Рассмотрен вопрос о характеристиках и критериях кусковатости. Обобщен большой исследовательский и экспериментальный материал, а также работы научно- методического характера по вопросам измерения и оценки кусковатости, проводившиеся автором почти 15 лет.
Книга предназначена для научно-исследовательских институтов и инженерно-технических работников горнодобывающей промышленности, а также может быть полезна для студентов старших курсов горных вузов, и факультетов.
Most mining companies have a massive amount of data at their disposal. However, they cannot use the stored data in any meaningful way. The powerful new business tool-advanced analytics enables many mining companies to aggressively leverage their data in key business decisions and processes with impressive results.
In this book, Dr. Soofastaei and his colleagues reveal howall mining managers can effectively deploy advanced analytics in their day-to-day operations—one business decision at a time.
From statistical analysis to machine learning and artificial intelligence, the authors show how many analytical tools can improve decisions about everything in the mine value chain, from exploration to marketing.
Combining the science of advanced analytics with the mining industrial business solutions, introduce the “Advanced Analytics in Mining Book” as a practical road map and tools for unleashing the potential buried in your company’s data.
Рассмотрены страны Центральной Азии, их внутреннее устройство, пути экономической интеграции в мировую экономику, а также ситуация в горнодобывающем секторе как основе успешной модели развития государства в целом. Показаны масштабы добычи полезных ископаемых, представлены сведения о структуре горнодобывающей промышленности в каждой стране, а также данные о стоимостном выражении добытого сырья. На примере стран Центральной Азии продемонстрирована значимость горнодобывающего сектора как неотъемлемой части структуры внутренней экономики страны. Предназначена для широкого круга специалистов, интересующихся проблемами развития современной Центральной Азии.
Исследованы политический строй и социально-экономические условия Королевства Марокко; рассмотрен горнодобывающий сектор как неотъемлемая часть структуры внутренней экономики страны. Предназначена специалистам и всем интересующимся проблемами развития Африканского региона.
