Summary A fundamental electrochemical study of the deposition of gold and copper in cyanide media, and a simulation of industrial electrowinning practice using a laboratory-scale cell, are described. The variables…
Summary AMIRA Project P383 – MERIWA Project M194A, entitled “Improved Resource Evaluation Using Geoscientific Information Systems (GIS) – A Pilot Study” investigated the potential use of GIS as a tool…
Summary The outcomes of an 18-month study designed to develop in vitro propagation and plant sampling technologies, as well as cryostorage procedures applicable to rare and endangered taxa likely to…
Summary The project was undertaken to provide systematic documentation of the gold deposits in the eastern part of the Yilgarn block of Western Australia, and its major output was complete…
Summary This research examines the Shephards Discordant Zone in the Windimurra Complex, which is divided into lower (olivine-bearing; 150 m thick), middle (magnetite rich and olivine lacking; 250 to 300…
Summary The distribution of lithofacies in the Devonian limestones of the Lennard Shelf is controlled by basement-hosted faults, with reef and platform facies confined to palaeohighs. Geophysical data show the…
Summary This study set out to research and understand the nature and impacts of native (endemic) smut disease on rush and sedge species. The extent of smut disease was considerable…
Summary Rubber splice kits were characterised, and samples were vulcanised and subjected to ageing in air in ovens at 60, 80, 90 and 1000C for periods of up to several…
Summary The effect of stoichiometry of the mineral phases affects the ease of smelting iron-nickel sulphides. Violarite and pentlandite of various stoichiometries were synthesised, and their ignition temperatures and extents…
Summary Vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in nutrient cycling in undisturbed ecosystems, and it is therefore important to restore them when rehabilitating mine soils. Stockpiling of soil…
Summary The northern central Yilgarn Craton comprises greenstones formed during two phases of tectonothermal activity at 2.95 Ga and 2.7 Ga. Greenstones deposited at 2.9 Ga were laid down in…
Summary The principal aim of this work was to investigate the analog and digital control of noise in headsets. One of the outcomes of this research is the prototype active…
