    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alena Niarezka; [2023]
    Keywords : Ertelien Ni-Cu deposit; ore geology; enrichment processes; nickel; cobalt; copper; optical microscopy; electron probe micro-analysis; critical metals; Ertelien Ni-Cu fyndighet; malmgeologi; anrikningsprocesser; nickel; kobolt; koppar; optisk mikroskopi; elektronsondsmikroanalys; kritiska metaller;

    Abstract : The escalating demand for metals driven by advancements in renewable energy technologies and hightech products has underscored the significance of understanding and characterizing ore deposits. This study focuses on the Ertelien Ni-Cu deposit in Norway, a region rich in nickel, cobalt, and copper resources—essential components for the transition to a sustainable energy future. READ MORE

  3. 2. Character and Evolution of Ore Mineralisation in the Te-Rich Enåsen Au-Cu Deposit, Central Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Simon Pieslinger; [2023]
    Keywords : ore geology; partial melting; quenching textures; symplectite; tellurides; critical metals;

    Abstract : The Enåsen gold deposit is located in Gävleborg county in central Sweden. Mining operations at Enåsen took place from 1984 to 1991 with Au as the main target for exploitation. The deposit has been interpreted as a metamorphosed Palaeoproterozoic analogue to near-recent epithermal Au mineralisations of a high sulphidation type. READ MORE

  4. 3. Identification and strength classification of weakness zones in the Garpenberg mine based on measurement while drilling (MWD)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Ioannis Peroulakis; [2022]
    Keywords : Drilling; MWD; Garpenberg; Mining; Geotechnics;

    Abstract : Boliden’s Garpenberg mine produces Zn-Pb-Ag(Cu-Au) using a sublevel stoping with pastefill mining method. The orebody is strongly affected by the existence of weakness zones mainly consisting of Talc Schist and Phlogopite Schist which affect the design, planning and production of the stope. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mineralogical characterization of gold in the Aurora ore zone in the Björkdal gold mine, northern Sweden – implications for metal recovery

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

    Author : Krister Åström; [2022]
    Keywords : geology; Björkdal gold deposit; Skellefte district; gold; Au; Aurora ore zone; metal recovery; cold mounting; SEM; QEMSCAN; mineral association; grain size;

    Abstract : The Aurora zone is an ore zone which was recently discovered in the Björkdal gold mine, northern Sweden, and it has been the main focus of mining and exploration activities for the past few years (Pressacco et al., 2020). The purpose of this project is to determine how gold occurs in the Aurora zone. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluating rougher-scavenger flotation circuits using geometallurgical particle-based approach

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

    Author : Luis Enrique Huaman Mamani; [2020]
    Keywords : Particle tracking; Flotation; Process mineralogy; Mineral liberation; Mass balance; Reconciliation;

    Abstract : The major challenges currently facing the mining industry are related to the growing trend to deal with deeper ore bodies and consequently increasing complex ores. This has led to the development of new approaches to tackle incoming issues by integrating different parts of the value chain in order to offer appropriate solutions. READ MORE
