Full report title Development of exploration concepts for SN-TA pegmatites: Use of host rock associations and alteration haloes Summary The pegmatite of this study is in a Barrovian-style terrain, localised…
Summary Study of concentrates and ore samples from the Kambalda nickel deposits has demonstrated the existence of a number of discrete platinum group element minerals. Sperrylite occurs within massive ores…
Summary Using X-ray excitation and a scanning electron microscope, the detection limit for some elements in certain matrices was extended down to 30 ppm, thus enabling individual mineral grains to…
Summary The report critically evaluates Carbon-in-Leach versus C.I.P. processes, agitation and screening systems, performance criteria for activated carbons, elution techniques, and alternative approaches to recovering gold and regenerating carbon. Fouling…
Summary This study investigates the possibility of obtaining a consistently sized product from a hydrocyclone used as a classifier by altering the spigot diameter, the vortex finder height and the…
Summary This research considers the reactivity of mineral sulphides and physical properties of concentrated chloride solutions, and develops options for nickel mattes and “complex” sulphide concentrates. The corrosion characteristics of…
Summary Prior to any mining operations, aspects of the environment were researched to identify potential limitations in future rehabilitation activities. Keywords: mining rehabilitation, Melaleuca cymbifolia, solonised soil
Summary The middle Proterozoic Bangemall Group is subdivided into three vertically juxtaposed subgroups which reflect major phases of the basin’s tectono-sedimentary evolution. The distribution of sedimentary environments in time and…
Full report title Genetic concepts as aids to development of gold exploration models: Lead isotope constraints on source and genesis of Archaean gold deposits in Western Australia Summary The potential…
Summary The petrographic composition of the coal has been determined. Both maceral and mineral matter compositions of the individual seams are variable; the dominant maceral groups are vitrinite and inertinite,…
Summary A survey of the He content of overburden gas and groundwater, which may be a pathfinder for U, was conducted in the area of the Manyingee and Bennett Well…
Summary A mechanistic study of the aeration reaction used for removing iron from a reduced ilmenite matrix to produce synthetic rutile is described employing two techniques, one based on the…
