EXPLOR SILICA: A WORLD-CLASS FRAC SAND RESOURCE

The document discusses various metallic and non-metallic mineral resources that can be extracted from the ocean. It outlines the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea which established countries' rights over territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. Resources mentioned include oil and gas, which make up most of the current mineral value from the sea. Manganese nodules are also discussed - these slow-growing deposits on the seafloor contain valuable metals like manganese, nickel, and cobalt but mining them faces legal and environmental challenges. Overall, the ocean contains many untapped mineral resources that could become increasingly important as land deposits are depleted.

This document discusses coal mining practices and their environmental impacts. It begins by explaining that coal and other minerals are mined to produce energy and materials like steel. Several mining techniques are described, including surface mining methods like mountaintop removal and subsurface techniques like longwall mining. The document notes that while mining is important, it can cause issues like water and air pollution, subsidence, and damage to landscapes. Laws like the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act were passed to regulate impacts and require cleanup, but mining continues to significantly alter environments.

Topic 2: Mining

London Mining Network

Underground mining methods include: 1) Room-and-pillar mining which leaves pillars of unmined ore to support the mine but has a low ore recovery rate. 2) Longwall mining which uses temporary support that is removed allowing the worked area to collapse and maximize ore recovery but can cause subsidence or rockbursts. 3) Choice of mining method depends on factors like the orebody shape and orientation, grade, depth, and impacts on surface environment and land use.

Mining is the extraction of valuable materials from the earth. It is required to obtain materials that cannot be grown or made artificially. There are several types of mining including surface mining methods like open pit and strip mining, and subsurface mining methods like shaft, slope, and drift mining. Mining is important economically but can also cause environmental damage and health issues for miners. Key issues include mine safety, pollution from mine tailings and acid mine drainage, and damage to landscapes and water bodies. Regulations aim to reduce risks but mining continues to impact the environment.

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals and materials from the earth. There are two main types of mining: surface mining, which takes place above ground, and subsurface mining, which occurs underground. Surface mining techniques include open-pit and strip mining and can cause significant environmental damage through habitat destruction and pollution. Subsurface mining techniques include shaft, slope, and drift mining and can be dangerous for miners due to risks of collapse, fire, and exposure to harmful substances. All mining operations generate waste materials that must be properly managed to prevent pollution of air and water if reclamation efforts are to be successful.

This document summarizes the geology and mineral deposits of map sheet 105O03 in the Yukon Territory of Canada. The area is located in the Selwyn Basin and contains sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits of silver, lead, and zinc. Geochemical analyses of samples from the map sheet show anomalous concentrations of these metals, with the highest readings of 65 ppm for lead and 6050 ppm for zinc. Based on the geology of the region and type and concentration of metals detected, the deposits in the area are concluded to be SEDEX in origin and potentially economically significant.

Marine aggregates provide essential resources for construction in England and Wales, contributing 17% of the countries' sand and gravel needs. They are extracted through dredging from licensed areas of the seabed. Dredging extracts only a small fraction of 1% of the total area of the UK continental shelf each year. The aggregates are used widely in construction projects after processing and help reduce the environmental impacts of land-based transportation compared to obtaining all resources from quarries.

1. Deep sea mining involves extracting valuable minerals from the seafloor in international waters, beyond national jurisdictions. Minerals found include polymetallic nodules, crusts, and massive sulfides. 2. Extraction is done using remote-controlled seafloor excavation and lifting systems to collect, crush, and pump mineral-laden slurries to surface ships for processing. The International Seabed Authority regulates deep sea mining contracts. 3. While deep sea mining could meet increasing demand for metals and minerals, it risks damaging undiscovered deep-sea ecosystems and species. More research is needed to develop environmentally-sustainable extraction techniques.

Mining and mineral processing (mining of silver

Said Al-Qurri

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals and materials from the earth. It involves prospecting for ore bodies, extracting the desired materials, and reclaiming the land after. Common ores extracted include metals, coal, gemstones, and more. While mining provides important resources, it often creates environmental and safety issues. As such, regulations aim to reduce impacts. Recycling rates of metals are generally low as well. The exploration process for minerals varies by site and material, with the goal being to discover economically feasible deposits to develop into mines.

Dexter Mining owns the Keystone Project located in Nye County, Nevada which contains the historic Keystone Pit and a 17,000 ton ore stockpile. The project area consists of patented and unpatented mining claims covering sedimentary rocks intruded by porphyritic dikes. Past mining in the 1970s extracted high grade silver-copper-lead-zinc ore, but the stockpile was never processed. Dexter Mining plans to either transport the stockpile for toll milling or construct an on-site milling facility. A drilling program is proposed to expand reserves near the pit and finalize permitting to begin processing ore onsite or transporting the stockpile.
