We provide results of a comprehensive mineralogical and microstructural study of relict lherzolites of the main ore field and fresh rocks from a deep structural borehole drilled in the south-eastern part of the Kempirsay massif. Olivine and orthopyro...

Rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) are essential for manufacturing technologies vital to economic and national security. As the demand for REY increases and conventional ores become depleted, attention is turning to unconventional resources like c...

Alluvial placer gold deposits that accumulate in streams across the globe are essentially allochthonous sedimentary deposits that are transported from their source to their location of deposition. The purpose of this study was to find placer gold dep...

The Gangdese magmatic rocks of the southern Lhasa terrane, are generally thought to be an important window to witness the formation and evolution of the Neo-Tethys oceanic opening, subduction, and closure, and India-Eurasian continental collision. We...

There is an increasing demand to simulate and optimize the performance and profit of comminution circuits, especially in low-grade ore processing, as is the case with critical metals minerals. Recent research has shown that the optimization result is...

This study aims to compare two approaches for the reserve calculation of cement raw material by geological sections and structural maps. The first is legally based, and its accuracy is approved by periodical calculation of the exploited material on s...

The present field and petrographic investigations of the Tortonian to Gelasian Siwalik Group in the core of the Hazara-Kashmir Syntaxis have been carried out to comprehend the middle stage Himalayan orogeny that resulted from the collision of Indian...

Ordinary chondrites are the most common type of chondrites. As a non-destructive, rapid, and semi-quantitative technology, Raman spectroscopy is widely used in geoscience. This paper presents the results of a Raman spectroscopic study that we conduct...

In this study, the Lagrange element strength reduction method is used to explore slope stability and as an evaluation method of underground mining of end-slope coal in a rock-stability analysis. A numerical analysis model is established herein using...

The paper is focused on the analysis of the relation between the stability of the flotation process and the efficiency of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms based on the flotation froth images. An ML process should enable researchers to construct Artif...
