  1. 1. Method to statistically secure field test results for rock drilling tools

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Frida Olander; [2023]
    Keywords : Statistics; Probability; Hypothesis test; Linear regression;

    Abstract : The aim of this project is to find a statistical method that describes survival and outcome of a prototype drilling tool from several references and determine how many references are needed for a statistically secure result. The project also answers which variables that affects the outcome. READ MORE

  3. 2. Syn-Magmatic Deformation Structures in the Slaufrudalur Pluton, East Iceland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Chun Hei Ho; [2023]
    Keywords : Granite; Iceland; magma chamber; magmatic microstructure; melt fraction; mush; pluton; rheology; strain; syn-magmatic deformation;

    Abstract : Structures and deformation mechanisms of magmatic rocks are controlled by rheology. An increase in melt fraction can weaken a rock body and localises significant amount of strain. This interplay between rheology, melting and deformation in a magma reservoir, however, is not always clearly documented in literature. READ MORE

  4. 3. Silver Mineralogy and Modes of Occurrence at the Silver Hart Deposit, South East Yukon.

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

    Author : Michael Ives-Ruyter; [2023]
    Keywords : Canada; Yukon; silver; lead; zinc; galena; sulfosalt; sulfur isotope;

    Abstract : The Silver Hart property is a high grade silver-lead-zinc deposit consisting of polymetallic vein style, manto (carbonate replacement) style, and skarn type mineralization. Host rock consists of calcareous and non-calcareous sediments of the Cassiar Platform, mainly biotite schists, limestone units, and the monzogranite unit of the Cassiar Batholith. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigating the potential of systematic optical petrography in a geometallurgical context : A case study on boulder characterization from Rajapalot property, Finland

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

    Author : Annie Björk; [2023]
    Keywords : Petrography; optical microscopy; scanning electron microscopy; geometallurgy; mining value chain; Peräpohja belt;

    Abstract : Geometallurgy describes a holistic approach to mining (integrating geological, metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental, and more parameters) with the goal to improve the efficiency and sustainability of a mining operation. The potential of systematic optical petrography in a geometallurgical context was investigated in this study, as well as how petrography may be useful across disciplines in several blocks of the mining value chain.

  6. 5. Evaluation of structurally controlled rockfall hazard for underground excavations in seismically active areas of the Kiirunavaara mine

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

    Author : Manuel Alberto Fuentes Espinoza; [2023]
    Keywords : Structurally controlled rockfalls; rockfalls due to seismic shaking; sublevel caving; fork layout; Unwedge; wedge analysis; deterministic analysis; probabilistic analysis;

    Abstract : Sublevel caving operations at great depths are subjected both to large stress concentrations that are redistributed as the mining front progresses and to mining-induced seismicity. This is the case for Kiirunavaara mine, Sweden’s largest underground mine. READ MORE
