  1. 1. Three-dimensional modelling of the Källfallsgruvan iron oxide deposit, Riddarhyttan ore field, Bergslagen, Sweden: Integrating existing and new data to aid understanding of structural controls and mineral exploration

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

    Author : Edna Spahic; [2021]
    Keywords : Three-dimensional modelling; Mineral exploration; Bergslagen; Riddarhyttan ore field; Källfallsgruvan iron-oxide deposit;

    Abstract : The Bergslagen ore province, located in the Fennoscandian shield in the south-central part of Sweden hosts several metallic mineral deposits, one of them being the Källfallsgruvan iron-oxide deposit in the Riddarhyttan ore field, situated in a high-strain shear belt denoted as the West Bergslagen Boundary Zone (WBBZ).  An accurate 3D geological model of the Källfallsgruvan iron-oxide deposit has been generated to aid understanding of the ore body geometries and calculating volume and tonnage.

  3. 2. The Structural Architecture of the Barsele Area, Sweden : Characterising the deformation events and mineralisation

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

    Author : Jaide Derbyshire; [2021]
    Keywords : Barsele; Structural Geology; Mineralisation; Deformation;

    Abstract : Located at an important intersect between orogenic Au deposits in Sweden’s Gold Line and volcanicmassive sulphide (VMS) deposits in the Skellefte Mining District, the Barsele area is of high interest.Currently, the Barsele deposit consists of the Norra VMS deposit and 3 intrusive-hosted orogenic Audeposits: Avan, Central, and Skiråsen which are hosted in a 1876 ± 10 Ma early orogenic granodiorite(Thomas, et al.

  4. 3. A 4D Analysis of a Minor Graben Structure at Ekolsund, South Central Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexander Sehr; Andin Eric; [2017]
    Keywords : South central Sweden; pull apart basin; 3D brittle deformation model; reactivation; striation markers; Södra centrala Sverige; pull apart basin; 3D spröd deformationsmodell; reaktivering; striation markörer;

    Abstract : The objective of this project is about a kinematic analysis of a shear zone, specifically a graben structure. The surface of the study area has also been investigated, this is to understand if a faulting reactivation has occurred due to glacial impact. READ MORE

  5. 4. Kinematic Evolution of a Transcurrent Fault Propagating Through Consecutive Volcanic Cones: a Case of Rheology and Separation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jaime Almeida; [2016]
    Keywords : Strike-slip; transcurrent; obstacles; deformation; rheology; separation; Strike-slip-förkastning; transcurrent; hinder; deformation; separation; reologi;

    Abstract : The main objective of this work is to test the effect of two conical-shaped positive topographic obstacleson propagation of a discrete basement dextral strike-slip or transcurrent fault. A set of sandbox analogue (physical) models was constructed, in which two consecutive sand cones were placed progressivelycloser to each other. READ MORE

  6. 5. Major Fracture Zones in Fiskarfjärden, Stockholm

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sorin Ignea; [2015]
    Keywords : Stockholm Bypass; structural model; major fracture zones; kinematic indicators; Förbifart Stockholm; stora strukturer; stora sprickzoner; kinematiska indikatorer;

    Abstract : This Master thesis is written in connection with the Stockholm Bypass project which is Trafikverkets and Sweden’s largest infrastructure project to date. It will consist of 21 km of motorway running west of Stockholm city linking the southern and the northern parts. READ MORE
