To study the geological environmental records of alpine-karst-type tufa deposits in the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, the calcareous tufa profile exposed by the “8.8” Jiuzhaigou earthquake was taken as the research object and com...

This paper describes a parametric study using discrete element modeling (DEM) of partial mining in a mountain terrain with in situ pillars for overburden support. For room and pillar mining or strip pillar mining, the accurate estimation of pillar st...

The excavation of hard rock roadways in coal mines is often in the environment of underground water and high ground temperature, and it is easy to be affected by the dynamic load, which leads to roadway destruction and increases the difficulty of roa...

The dynamic load effect of supports is mainly caused by the movement of the roof structure and the load transfer of overburden. In view of the practice issue that the phenomenon of strong ground pressure is easy to happen, when the working face of th...

Most gold deposits occur associated with sulphides like pyrite and arsenopyrite; thus, precious metal dissolution is possible by oxidizing auriferous sulfide concentrate using simultaneous pressure oxidation and cyanidation. The effectiveness of this...

For the first time, corona-type textures are described in ultrabasic rocks in three complexes of the Serpentinite Belt on the Kola Peninsula in the northeastern Fennoscandian Shield. Three variants of the corona texture formed at different stages dur...

Molybdenite is a common sulfide hosting many trace elements. Trace elements in molybdenite from individual deposits have been widely used to constrain the source and conditions of ore-forming fluids. However, the relationship between the trace elemen...

Its properties make copper one of the world’s most important functional metals. Numerous megatrends are increasing the demand for copper. This requires the prospection and exploration of new deposits, as well as the monitoring of copper quality...

The demand for minerals has never been so high and is expected to increase in the coming decades [...]

The massive sulfide deposits (VMS) from Mănăilă are associated with the metamorphic formations of the Tulgheș Lithogroup from the Bucovinian Nappes of the Crystalline-Mesozoic Zone in the Eastern Carpathians, Romania. The followin...
