Ross Goldfield - A Vision
The Ross Goldfield is a unique gold resource. From its discovery in 1865 there was a growing understanding of the geology of the deposit as mining moved from the surface at Jones Flat in the south to

Application of Gold Fineness to the Search for Ore
It has been fairly firmly established (Fisher, N. H., 1945) that the fineness of the gold in any ore deposit varies with the depth from the surface at which the deposit was formed, and, as a corollary

The Geology of the Golden Cross Orebody - Complex Veining and Evolving Mining Responses
By W C. Cook, S J. Mathews, A H. Purvis
The Golden Cross Gold Mine is located at the head of the Waite kauri Ri ver, 8 km northwest of Waihi near the southern end of the Coromandel Range. The mine produces gold and silver from epithermal ve

Analysing and Rehabilitating Rock Mass Failure in Critical Mine Infrastructure
To optimise the haulage of the large tonnages produced from stopes in this high production gold mine, an ore pass and feeder system was introduced. This ore pass was designed and developed in 2006 and

An Examination of Some Trace Elements in South Wales Coals
By Pooley F. D
The coal measures of the South Wales coalfield contain at least 50 horizons at which coal seams are known, to occur. More than 300 samples of coal were collected from these coal measures and this pape

The History of Ore Treatment Processes in Broken Hill
WHEN mining and treatment first started at Broken Hill only oxidised ores were available. These ores were rich in silver and lead-the silver mainly existing as chloride and the lead as carbonate.Treat

Olympic Dam rock quality designation model – an integrated approach
By M Passmore, N Poznik
Olympic Dam is a world-class deposit and is unquestionably one of the most geologically, structurally and texturally complex orebodies in the world. As development advances into the Southern Mine Area

Geophysical Characteristics of the Karangahake Epithermal Deposit, Hauraki Goldfield, New Zealand
By C A. Locke, M Stevens, P Vidanovich, J Cassidy, J L. Mauk
The Karangahake adularia-sericite epithermal gold-silver deposit, located at the southern end of the Waitekauri Corridor, Hauraki Goldfield, occurs as quartz veins with associated alteration haloes. I

Oxidation at the Orieco Copper Mine, Eastern Tasmania
At the Orieco mine quartz veins carrying sulphides were localized in parts of an extensive fault zone in the Mathinna Beds during late Middle Palaeozoic mineralization.These deposits were subsequently

An Innovative Scaled Model to Simulate the Perimeter Hole Blasting in Tunnel
The success of smooth blasting essentially depends on geological condition of rock. Also, in the perimeter hole, borehole pressures with light, well-distributed explosive loads are important to minimi

Implicit Geological Modelling of Iron Ore Deposits
By A-A Latscha, C Boyle
Geological modelling has historically been done using sectional interpretation of paper sections or on a computer screen. Boundaries of geological units or grade shells are interpreted by a geologist

Planning for Rehabilitation of Lands Disturbed by Alluvial Gold Mining on the West Coast
By A Tinnelly
Land disturbed by alluvial gold mining should be restored to a capability or productivity as good as that which existed prior to disturbance. Effective rehabilitation requires detailed planning

Auxiliary ventilation design – why and how mines waste so much power on inferior systems
By D J. Brake
There has been a strong trend over the past decade in hard rock mines towards the use of very high powered auxiliary (or secondary) fans; in many mines, the installed power for the secondary ventilati
