Industrial Structural Geology by F.L. Richards,N.J. Richardson,S.J. Rippington,R.W. Wilson,C.E. Bond Pdf

The practical application of structural geology in industry is varied and diverse; it is relevant at all scales, from plate-wide screening of new exploration areas down to fluid-flow behaviour along individual fractures. From an industry perspective, good structural practice is essential since it feeds into the quantification and recovery of reserves and ultimately underpins commercial investment choices. Many of the fundamental structural principles and techniques used by industry can be traced back to the academic community, and this volume aims to provide insights into how structural theory translates into industry practice. Papers in this publication describe case studies and workflows that demonstrate applied structural geology, covering a spread of topics including trap definition, fault seal, fold-and-thrust belts, fractured reservoirs, fluid flow and geomechanics. Against a background of evolving ideas, new data types and advancing computational tools, the volume highlights the need for structural geologists to constantly re-evaluate the role they play in solving industrial challenges.

The Geology of Ore Deposits by John M. Guilbert,Charles F. Park, Jr. Pdf

Modern civilizations dependence upon an increasing volume and diversity of minerals makes the search for new ore deposits ever more difficult. Now available from Waveland Press, Guilbert & Parks text presents ideas, principles, and data fundamental for beginning economic geologists to understand the genesis and localization of ore deposits and of the minerals associated with them. The authors comprehensively describe the physical and chemical characteristics of ore deposits and correlate them with environments and conditions of deposition, since ore deposits are best interpreted as extensions of the environments responsible for their enclosing rocks. Examples and illustrations emphasize structural, chemical, and temporal controls and encourage the three-dimensional thinking used by productive explorationists as they face unsolved problems. This upper-level undergraduate text is fully illustrated and meticulously indexed. Its reliable, authoritative coverage assumes an upper-level command of chemistry and physics, as well as mineralogy, petrology, and structural geology. Outstanding features . . . develops and combines the abilities of the explorationist and of the researcher of ore-forming processes structures the geologic descriptions into groupings recognized by researchers and explorers alike builds confidence, revitalizes curiosity, and encourages expanded thinking emphasizes that the days of easy discovery of outcropping ores are not over includes revised, expanded, and updated descriptions of districts

Understanding Mineral Deposits by Kula Misra Pdf

Mineral deposits have supplied useful or valuable material for human consumption long before they became objects of scientific curiosity or commercial exploitation. In fact, the earliest human interest in rocks was probably because of the easily accessible, useful (e. g. , red pigment in the form of earthy hematite) or valuable (e. g. , native gold and gemstones) materials they contained at places. In modem times, the study of mineral deposits has evolved into an applied science employing detailed field observations, sophisticated laboratory techniques for additional information, and computer modeling to build complex hypotheses. Understanding concepts that would someday help geologists to find new mineral deposits or exploit the known ones more efficiently have always been, and will continue to be, at the core of any course on mineral deposits, but it is a fascinating subject in its own right, even for students who do not intend to be professional economic geologists. I believe that a course on mineral deposits should be designed as a "capstone course" that illustrates a comprehensive application of concepts from many other disciplines in geology (mineralogy, stratigraphy and sedimentation, structure and tectonics, petrology, geochemistry, paleontology, geomorphology, etc. ). This book is intended as a text for such an introductory course in economic geology, primarily for senior undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities. It should also serve as a useful information resource for professional economic geologists.

Basics of Economic Geology and Mining Practices by Moses A Olade Pdf

Mineral resources are Nature's endowment to humanity; they are to be discovered, extracted and used for our economic benefit. However, economic minerals are very 'scarce' and non-renewable resources that require the training and expertise of geoscientists to find, explore and exploit. The insatiable demand for mineral raw materials to meet the needs of a growing world population, and rising standard of living has created the urgent need to train more economic geologists who understand the complex processes responsible for the occurrence, distribution and origin of mineral deposits, and know how to apply the acquired knowledge in the search for new mineral deposits. Economic geology is the scientific study of mineral resources and the application of such knowledge in mineral exploration and mining. This book is an introductory text on the geology of mineral deposits for undergraduate and postgraduate geology and mining students, particularly in Africa. This book "goes back to the basics" of a rapidly-growing applied geoscience, and systematically describes the essential aspects of the distribution, mode of occurrence, characteristics and origin of the major mineral deposit types, including metallic and industrial minerals and rocks, and gemstones, with examples from world-wide, but mainly from Africa - the world's most mineral-rich continent. For the benefit of Mining students, this work integrates mineral deposits geology into a continuum with mineral exploration and mining geology. The book is adequately illustrated with maps and pictures, and written in a simple and concise language that is easily understood, and adapted to the needs students from developing countries where textbooks are scarce, and if available are too expensive to be affordable. The book content is organized into two parts with eight chapters: Part One is focused on the Principles of Economic Geology with five chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction to Economic Geology; Chapter 2: Nature of Mineral Deposits; Chapter 3: Ore Forming Processes and Associated Deposits; Chapter 4: Economic Geology of Metals; and Chapter 5: Industrial Minerals and Rocks, Part Two of the book is dedicated to Applied Economic Geology with three chapters: Chapter 6: Mineral Exploration; Chapter 7: Elements of Mining Geology; and Chapter 8: Environmental Geology in Mining Operations. A Glossary of Common Terms in Economic and Mining Geology is included at the end of the book. The book is intended for Geology and Mining students at "upper" undergraduate and postgraduate levels at Universities and Polytechnics (HND). Also, practicing geoscientists and mining professionals who need to "brush up" their knowledge in economic geology, will find the book very useful. The format of the book is topical and well organized for teaching courses on Mineral Deposits and Mining Geology at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is an expanded version of lecture notes used over the years in teaching Economic and Mining Geology at Universities and Community Colleges, augmented by extensive field experience and literature research.

Mineral Economics and Policy by John E. Tilton,Juan Ignacio Guzmán Pdf

This textbook provides an introduction to the field of mineral economics and its use in understanding the behaviour of mineral commodity markets and in assessing both public and corporate policies in this important economic sector. The focus is on metal and non-metallic commodities rather than oil, coal, and other energy commodities. The work draws on John Tilton's teaching experience over the last 30 years at the Colorado School of Mines and the Catholic University of Chile, as well as short courses for RioTinto and other mining companies. This is combined with the professional consulting and academic research of Juan Ignacio Guzmán over the past decade, in order to demonstrate the industry application of the economic principles described in the earlier chapters. The book should be an ideal text for graduate and undergraduate students in the fields of mining engineering and natural resource economics and policy. It should also be of interest to professionals and investors in mining and commodity markets, and those undertaking continuing education in the mineral sector.
