In 1930 Bruno Sander, in his now classic Gefiigekunde der Gesteine, presented a comprehensive account of the fabric of deformed rocks, new geometric methods for its analysis, and a broad philosophy for its kine¬ matic interpretation. Since then, and especially since the Second World War, Sander’s methods have been applied with varying degrees of success in attempts to elucidate the structure of metamorphic rocks in many countries. Outstandingly successful among such attempts are studies, still in progress, on the nature and geometry of repeated folding in the Highlands of Scotland.

В книге обосновано существование на северо-востоке Азии новой – Охотско-Чаунской окраинно-континентальной металлогенической провинции, возникшей над палеосейсмофокальной зоной и состоящей из Охотско-Чукотского вулканогенного пояса и перивулканической зоны. Рассмотрены стратиграфия, магматизм и рудоносность провинции, главные типы её разрывных и очаговых рудоконтролирующих структур и их влияние на региональную и локальную металлогеническую зональность. Выявлены аналоги Охотско-Чаунской провинции в других сегментах Тихоокеанского рудного пояса и обоснована их принадлежность к геоструктурам тектоно-магматической активизации, сформировавшимся вдоль континентальных окраин Азии и Америки синхронно с развитием сопредельных подзнемезозой-кайнозойских эвгеосинклиналей 

It is necessary to define some fundamental terms that will provide indispensable background for the entire book. The first term to be explained deals with the title of the book: mineral resources. A mineral resource can be defined broadly as the concentration of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust. In this book, it includes solid earth materials such as metals (i.e., copper, gold, iron),

From ancient times to the present day, gold has been valued by humans. Egypt was the principal gold-producing country in ancient times. Coptos, the present Quft on the eastern side of the River Nile, was the chief town of the Nomos of Harawi and was once politically important. In the eleventh dynasty (2133e1991 BC) it was overshadowed by Thebes, 50 km to the south, which became the capital of the Middle Kingdom (2133 BC) of ancient Egypt, the present-day Luxor (Figure 1.1).

After a well is drilled, a string of geophysical instruments (called a sonde) is placed into the borehole to record the geophysical properties of the subsurface strata. The data are digitally recorded in a nearby logging facility (commonly a logging vehicle for land-based rigs) and transferred to a paper log and/or saved as a digital .las data file. It is very common to get both a digital and paper copy of the well.

The great classical tectcnicians, such as Suess, Argand and Wegener, att empted (0 und erstand. without the benefi t of the plate tecto nic theory. the workings of the Ea rth engine as a who le, and the part that deformation played in that who le. In my student days, I deri ved great pleasure and benefit from De Sitter's textbook on str uctural geology where the study of geo logical structures and major Earth structure received more or less equal rreatment. Since then, until relatively recently, there has been a tendency for str uctu ral geology to become more parochial and inward-looking, despite the enormous advances in understand ing that the plate tectonic revolutio n has brought abo ut. I have longfelt the need, therefo re, for a bo ok tha t would give students a tectonic overview in which geo logical structures and deformation could be seen in their context as byproducts of the plate tectonic system <...>

In recognition of the increasing interest in the subject of deformation of sediments and sedimentary rocks shown by Earth scientists in recent years, a major international conference with this theme was held at University College London in April 1985. This volume contains the texts of those contributions to the Conference that were submitted for publication.

This book describes the fundamental and theoretical concepts of optimization algorithms in a systematic manner, along with their potential applications and implementation strategies in mining engineering. It explains basics of systems engineering, linear programming, and integer linear programming, transportation and assignment algorithms, network analysis, dynamic programming, queuing theory and their applications to mine systems.

Книга содержит краткие сведения о конструкциях современных машин и оборудования для проходки вертикальных, наклонных и горизонтальных выработок. Приведены также
сведения о горно-шахтном оборудовании, применяемом при проходке шахт, — проходческих насосах, вентиляторах, лебедках, подъемных и погрузочных машинах.

Книга предназначена для преподавателей и мастеров горнопромышленных училищ и школ. Она может быть полезна также для инженерно-технических работников угольной и горнодобывающей промышленности.
