  1. 1. PGE Geochemistry and Mineralogy of Dunite, Chromitite, and Laterite Samples from the Acoje Ophiolite Block, Philippines

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

    Author : Michelle Dossey; [2023]
    Keywords : PGM; PGE; laterite; limonite; chromitite; dunite; platinum group minerals; platinum group elements; Acoje; Philippines;

    Abstract : Ni-laterites have the potential to become unconventional ore deposits for platinum group elements (PGE). This study was conducted to determine enrichment trends of PGE as a result of the Ni-laterization process. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Fe-oxides (mineralogical, chemical, and textural) variation in the Leveäniemi deposit using micro-analytical tools for unraveling of primary features and metamorphic recrystallisation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Adrian Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Leveäniemi; Magnetite; Hematite; Iron oxides; Iron oxide apatite;

    Abstract : The Leveäniemi iron oxide apatite (IOA) deposit, mined by LKAB, is located in Norrbotten, northern Sweden. The deposit has a partially more complex mineralogy than the neighbouring and more famous IOA deposits of Kiirunavaara and Malmberget. READ MORE

  4. 3. Geochemical and Mineralogical Comparison of XRT-XRF Scanning Technology Versus Traditional Analysis of Drill Core from the Assarel Porphyry Copper-Gold Deposit (Panagyurishte District, Bulgaria)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Diego Delgado Yanez; [2020]
    Keywords : Assarel porphyry copper; GeoCore X10; Sustainable mining; XRT XRF; mineral characterization; geochemical characterization; X-MINE Project;

    Abstract : Ongoing, environmental and economic matters related to mining sustainability and its impacts are leading to the search for new ways to asses and extract commodities more efficiently. A key aspect in the shift to more sustainable mining is the rapid, digital characterization of orebody mineralogy and geochemistry to help optimize the extractive process. READ MORE

  5. 4. Petrography, alteration and structure of the Bronäs Zn-Pb-Ag deposits, Bergslagen, Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Tom Turner; [2020]
    Keywords : Bronäs; Sala;

    Abstract : This report aims to characterize the alteration styles and mineralization of the Zn-Pb-Ag Bronäs deposit, in the Sala area of the Bergslagen mining district, Sweden.  It presents data collected through 237m of lithological logging and subsequent lithogeochemical data, which, coupled with thin section and SEM analysis has led to the first geological descriptions of the rocks in the deposit.

  6. 5. Styles of mineralization in the Nautanen IOCG deposit

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

    Author : Nils Edblom; [2020]
    Keywords : Nautanen; Aitik; Gällivare; Norrbotten; IOCG; NDZ; nautanen deformation zone;

    Abstract : Nautanen is an IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) deposit located in northern Sweden, 10 km north-east of the town Gällivare in the county of Norrbotten. It was mined for copper for seven years in the early 1900´s and is presently explored by Boliden Mineral AB. The deposit sits within a package of shoshonitic andesites of the Porphyrite group.
