Summary Based on seismic, core and log data, the depositional framework and major lithostratigraphic variations of the Barrow Group are investigated, followed by an integrated subsurface and outcrop study of…
Summary Bauxite with lower than normal (approx. 15%) iron content has been encountered in drill samples from the Huntly minesite of Alcoa of Australia Ltd. The study compares the distribution…
Summary Conventional processing and analysis techniques applied to a seismic event had the appearance of not only a multiple, but also a bright spot believed to be a possible exploration…
Summary Samples of three arsenical gold ores – Lancefield, Paddington (Western Australia) and Cassilis (Victoria) – were subjected to fine milling followed by cyanidation to determine the amount of leachable…
Summary A laboratory scale conveyor belt splice apparatus has been constructed that enables splices to be made under controlled conditions of pressure and temperature. The apparatus was used to investigate…
Summary A baseline study of airblast and ground vibration was conducted for current blasting practices in open pits on the Golden Mile. This study resulted in a comprehensive data base…
Summary Two phenomena are used to produce maximum mixing with minimum energy input; they are turbulent flow and cavitation. By repeated testing of different profiles for agitator blades rotating on…
Summary This study investigates the propagation and rehabilitation requirements of a range of rush and sedge species disturbed by mining, and determines the factors limiting the growth and reproduction of…
Summary This study evaluates the behaviour of cobalt in non-ferrous smelting and converting circuits by experimentally determining the effects of silica, alumina, lime, and magnesia on the solubility of cobalt…
Summary X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-destructive means by which the internal structure of an object may be viewed. It produces a digital image that is a map of…
Summary The main achievement of MERIWA Project 95 has been the development of a computerized database Merigold, currently containing geographical, geological and mineralogical information for over 200 gold deposits from…
