Introduction: The extraction of minerals and other resources from the Earth, known as mining, plays a vital role in modern society. However, this industry often comes with significant environmental, social, and economic consequences. To address these challenges and ensure a more sustainable and equitable future, the “Framework for Responsible Mining” has been developed. This framework, […]

A great paper written by Victor Patson Mutambo, Dilmurod Maxmudov, Yorqin Nurboboev, Asliddin Mahmadoliev and Feruz Pardaev. Proper geological and economic assessment of ore dilution and loss is important both in the feasibility study of the mining design process and during mining operations. Production capacity and profitability of the mine directly depend on the indicators […]

The process of looking for signs of any mineralisation housed in the nearby rocks is known as mineral exploration. The fundamental idea is to create a geological picture by taking bits and pieces of geological data from several locations and projecting them over a broader area. Exploration proceeds in steps of increasing complexity. Cheaper, less […]

Introduction Drilling is a common activity carried out by mining and petroleum companies. The aim of a drilling campaign varies depending on the result type. Many tools are used during the process including dill rods, casings and water swivels. In this article, we are going to describe each tool and will also share their benefits. […]

The Chuquicamata mine, located in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, is the second-deepest open-pit mine globally, behind Bingham Canyon in Utah. The terrain has been hollowed down by the extraction of massive copper reserves; the greatest hole at the location is about 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) deep. Although there is evidence of mining in […]

The mining sector is booming due to the market and worldwide demand increase. The use of novel industrial processes and equipment, growth in trained personnel, and growth in managerial skills go hand in hand with the need to increase productivity mining areas. These improvements make the mining industry one of the world’s riskiest and most unstable (Nguembi […]

Employees in the mining, oil, and gas sectors are frequently stationed in isolated and varied areas. These work sites, whether onshore or offshore, are isolated from one another geographically in some way. Operators are required to offer their employees a specific degree of health services while they are at work because of the different demands […]

Hot water acts as a concentrating, transporting, and depositing agent in hydrothermal mineral deposits. Out of all the deposit classes, they are the most numerous. Since pure water is a poor solvent for most ore minerals, hydrothermal deposits are never created from pure water. It would be more accurate to refer to them as products […]

The term “native metal” refers to metals found in pure or in an alloy that is representative of their natural, elemental state. Although a wide variety of metals can be found in native deposits, only few are resistant to oxidation and weathering. Because they are highly reactive when exposed to water, light, and other elements […]

Magmatic sulfides, a significant source of valuable metals like platinum, palladium, and chromium, are formed through a fascinating process within Earth’s fiery depths. The Formation Process Mafic and Ultramafic Magmas: These magma types, rich in iron, magnesium, and sulfur, are the foundation for magmatic sulfide deposits. Early Crystallization: As these magmas cool, minerals like plagioclase, […]
