The Biggenden gold-bearing Fe skarn deposit in southeast Queensland, Australia, is a calcic magnetite skarn that has been mined for Fe and gold (from the upper portion of the deposit). Skarn has replaced volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Early Pe...

The northeastern Hunan district in the Jiangnan Orogen (South China) holds significant gold resources, whose genesis remains perplexing, especially in terms of the gold source and mineralization process. Yanzhupo (2.50 t @ 2.52 g/t) is a newly discov...

Critical mineral resources (CMRs) are essential for emerging high-tech industries and are geopolitically significant, prompting countries to pursue resource exploration and development. Tibetan geothermal systems, recognized for their CMR potential,...

The Yahşihan/Kırıkkale sedimentary basin, located in Central Anatolia within the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan suture zone, mostly consists of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Pliocene sediments developed on the Ankara Melange, which is linked t...

In the mixing zone, where submarine groundwater carrying ferrous iron [Fe(II)] meets seawater with dissolved oxygen (DO), the oxidative precipitation of Fe(II) occurs at the pore scale (nm~μm), and the resulting Fe precipitation significantly infl...

The increased consumption of strategic metals has led to the necessity to search for new and non-traditional sources of mineral raw materials. All this has resulted in the necessity to develop and justify new technological solutions for the integrate...

The edge effect is caused by poor use of confinement systems, different roll aspect ratios, operating conditions and other factors, which result in uneven pressure distribution between the two crushing rolls along the roll width direction, affecting...

Nioboixiolite-(□) is a new mineral found in a carbonatite sill from the Bayan Obo mine, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, China. It occurs as anhedral to subhedral grains (100 to 500 μm in diameter) that are disseminated in carbonatite rock compo...

Feldspars are essential components in the ceramic industry, and the increasing demand for high-grade fluxes has recently elevated their status as critical raw materials for the European Union. This survey aims to evaluate, for the first time, Italy&r...

In this work, a study was carried out on the effect of temperature as the main influencing factor on the rheological behavior of lateritic suspensions, raw material for the operations of pressurized acid technology (HPAL) used to obtain nickel and co...
