Abstract:
The environmental problems caused by heavy metal pollution in mines are becoming more and more serious, especially the large-scale heavy metal pollution will cause the waste of land resources. At present, there are many remediation methods for heavy metal contaminated soil in mines, and the results of research and practice are scattered, without big data analysis. This paper summarizes the current remediation methods of heavy metal contaminated soil in mines, and puts forward some suggestions for remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil in mines in the future. China is one of the countries rich in mineral resources. With the rapid growth of national economy, the development speed of mineral resources is accelerating, forming a large area of mined-out areas and abandoned land of metal mines, and the land area polluted by mineral resources development is expanding accordingly. The development of metal mines not only promotes the development of national economy, but also brings severe environmental problems. Chemical agents are usually used in the mining and dressing process of metal mines, and the harmful substances produced are fixed in the soil after circulation, which causes soil pollution and damages to the soil in different degrees. Soil pollution in metal mines is hidden, irreversible and lasting for a long time. Heavy metals are ingested by human body through food chain flow and atmospheric circulation, threatening human health and ecological security. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the state attaches great importance to the construction of ecological civilization. Mine ecological restoration is one of the quantitative indicators assessed by local governments, and the restoration of heavy metal contaminated soil is an unavoidable problem. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and try to find the best solution.

Abstract:
The advanced countries, including the United States of America, Japan, the United Kingdom, etc., struggle to secure mineral resources for their development of economy and industry themselves. We, the Republic of Korea need to respond to come up with an effective counterplan for the resource supply and demand accordingly. The Korea Institute of Geological Resources (KIGAM) is a state-designated approval statistic institution and has been building the mineral commodity statistic data of the minerals, officially defined by the mining act of the Korean government since 1986. The statistical data of mineral commodity consist of the sales volume, distribution, and production of mines, and the labor conditions for operation, etc., based on the type of ore and the production of the region, month and mine. KIGAM published the various statistical data containing the production, import, export of the mineral commodity in various forms, including annual and monthly reports and by English. This mineral commodity/mining statistics data can be viewed and downloaded from Korean Statistical Information Services(mici.kigam.re.kr), (www.kosis.kr) by Statistic Korea, Mineral Resources Statistics Portal and also bigdata environment-platform(www.bigdata-envirnment.kr).

Abstract:
This paper analyses the perceptions of staff members of the Mines and Mineral Department of Gilgit-Baltistan using qualitative methodology. The paper relies on stakeholder workshops and five qualitative interviews conducted with the staff members of the Mines and Minerals Department of GB. The data reveals that artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) oppose mine leasing which creates hurdles for them in getting explosives and obtaining compensation in case of injuries and casualties. In some parts of GB, check posts are available for collection of collecting transit duties, but no mechanism is found to detect gemstones moving out of GB, their actual price, and subsequent transit duty fee. The department lacks enough human resources which is why it cannot extend full assistance to the mining sector in the region. Although, some improvements have been made in the form of training provisions and testing facilities still ASMs do not benefit from these opportunities. In addition to differences in perspectives between ASM and staff members of the mines and minerals department, the locals also dispute with each other on mining sites and possession. To resolve these disputes at the doorstep, a District Supervisory Committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner and comprising of locals and government officials is established in each district of GB. Yet these do not offer a viable solution. The concerned department also does not have any data about injuries and casualties in mines as neither data is shared by the miner nor they are registered with the department. That is why the government is unable to extend its support and compensation. Lastly, the direct intervention of external agents, and private sector and non-governmental organizations’ involvement in the illegal trading of gemstones is also blamed for the backwardness of the gems industry.

Abstract:
Deep mining is widely spread in Russia; therefore, it is truly vital to determine how labor resources in the branch can be preserved. Adverse working conditions cause elevated risks of not only occupationally induced diseases, but also production-related ones, make medical and social consequences of such diseases even worse, and result in a decrease in overall labor potential of a society. Miners’ working conditions are ones of the most adverse. When participating in technological processes, workers are exposed to a set of adverse and dangerous industrial factors, both common for any deep mining and specific ones related to a type of mineral resources which are mined. We performed a complex assessment of working conditions existing in deep mining of chromic ores in order to detect risks of chronic diseases for miners as well as to determine an extent to which such diseases were production-related. We revealed that working conditions for miners involved in chromic ores mining were associated with joint negative effects exerted by physical and chemical factors of the working process; as per this combination of factors, they can be assigned into “adverse working conditions with 3–4 hazard degree” category. Workers involved in deep mining at chromic mines ran 1.5–5.2 times higher relative risks of cardiovascular system diseases, respiratory system diseases, endocrine system diseases, and hearing organs diseases, than personnel employed at mines but dealing with production processes on the surface. Nervous and respiratory system diseases, endocrine pathologies, and hearing organs diseases in miners employed at chromic mines were to a great extent production-related while cardiovascular system diseases less significantly depended on industrial factors.

Abstract:
With the increasing demand for mineral resources, the number of mines with favorable mining conditions is gradually decreasing. Human beings are faced with the challenge of having to mine resources in depth, and important engineering problems in deep mining are constantly emerging. On the one hand, it requires a large amount of mineral resources, and on the other hand, sustainable development and green mining are required to protect the environment. Debris flows, etc., seriously threaten the safety of human existence. Therefore, it is critical to know the wear level of the filling line. There are various technologies for non-destructive testing. In order to explore new non-destructive testing technologies that are easy to apply in underground mines, the application of traditional testing technology and new voiceprint recognition technology in mines and the development of future applications are discussed.

ROBERTS, MARK CULMER. "THEORY AND PRACTICE OF THE INTENSITY OF USE METHOD OF MINERAL CONSUMPTION FORECASTING (MINERAL, ECONOMICS)." Diss., The University of Arizona, 1985. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/187962.

Full text
Abstract:
The intensity of use of a mineral is traditionally defined as the consumption (production plus net imports) of the mineral divided by gross national product. It has been proposed that this ratio of raw material input to gross economic output is a predictable function of per capita income and that the relationship is based on economic theory. Though the theory has never been clearly defined, the intensity of use method has been used to make long term forecasts. This dissertation formulates a theoretical model of the consumption of minerals and the resulting intensity of use which is used to test the validity of the traditional intensity of use measure and its forecasting ability. Previous justifications of the intensity of use hypothesis state that changes in technical efficiency, substitution rates among inputs, and demands are explained by per capita income, which, as it grows, produces a regular intensity of use pattern. The model developed in this research shows that the life of the goods in use, foreign trade of raw and final goods, prices, consumer preferences, technical innovations, as well as the above factors fully explain economic use, which is not simply a function of per capita income. The complete model is used to restate the traditional theory of intensity of use and to examine the sensitivity of traditional measures to changes in the explanatory variables which are commonly omitted. The full model demonstrates the parameters that must be examined when making a long term forecast. Regular intensity of use patterns are observed for many minerals in many nations. Setting aside the theoretical questions, the intensity of use method is often used to make long term projections based on these trends in intensity of use as well as the trends in population and gross national product. This dissertation examines the forecasting ability of the traditional intensity of use method and finds that it is not necessarily an improvement over naive consumption time trend forecasts. Furthermore, it is unstable for very long term projections.

Iddon, Casey. "Market valuation of junior natural resources companies." Thesis, Federation University Australia, 2015. http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/HandleResolver/1959.17/96742.

Full text
Abstract:
Junior mining companies provide a vital feedstock to the mining sector, which in turn, feeds into the wider economy via manufacturing. The valuation models traditionally used in other sectors of the economy appear to be insufficient, in terms of scope and capacity to handle uncertainty, to provide a rational pricing of junior mining companies. The observation that junior mining firms are valued by some means suggests that either the junior mining markets are inefficient or, more likely, that these markets are able to provide insight, scope, and capacity to the methods of firm valuation. The process by which natural resource companies are valued on equity markets is poorly understood, especially for those companies at an early stage-of-development focussed upon exploration and the development of embryonic natural resources. Thus, the primary research question motivating this research is: How does the market value junior natural resource companies? While a number of studies have contributed to our understanding of market valuation within the junior natural resources sector, the extant research is often siloed in a focus on traditional value-relevant factors that neglects other factors that potentially have even greater value-relevance. A key contribution of this research is to identify, define and subsume potential value-relevant factors into a conceptual framework of junior mining firm valuation. Another key contribution of this research is its empirical analysis of the relevance of accounting information in 2,324 junior mining companies and an empirical event study into 1,526 seasoned equity offerings by junior mining companies. The findings support the value-relevance of commodity prices and reveal that natural resource companies tend to undertake seasoned equity offerings following persistent market outperformance. This research, by conjoining the extant literature with empirical analysis in a mixed methods approach, provides an integrated account of market valuation within the junior natural resource sector.<br>Doctor of Philosophy

Abstract:
Bristol Bay, in Southwest Alaska, is the largest sockeye salmon fishery in the world. After an almost total collapse of salmon numbers in the mid 1970s, the salmon have returned and average in the tens of millions every year. The salmon play a vital economic, cultural, and subsistence role in the lives of the people who call Bristol Bay home. At present there is a plan to develop a low-grade, but substantial, mineral deposit that consists primarily of copper, gold, and molybdenum. The estimated value of the minerals present is more than $500 billion. This plan is known as the Pebble Project, and could involve an open-pit mine, a large area of block caving, as well as the creation of huge tailings ponds north of Lake Iliamna. The proposed site of the mine straddles a drainage divide that affects two major watersheds that feed the Bristol Bay fishery. A resource debate is at hand which places the development of the mineral deposit at odds with the health of the fishery.

Siting new mines and working collaboratively with the local communities near existing mines is essential to the success of mineral resource projects. Without public support, from the local to the national level, new mines can be blocked, or existing mines can fail to achieve their full potential. The siting of nuclear waste disposal facilities has numerous relevant lessons for mine siting and development. This essay examines how these lessons can apply to mining, describing the complex social relations that must be managed amongst different levels of government, public interest groups, Indigenous communities, members of the public, academia and industry.

AbstractTwo forms of energy justice provide insight on Australia’s petroleum and coal problematic policy issues. First, distributive justice is used to cover the implications of low revenues from critical energy minerals; and fair allocations of resource income. Unfortunately, calls for true reform by the Australian community has resulted in a weak response from government. Second, cosmopolitan justice is used to consider the global effects of Australia’s fossil fuel extraction and use. Petroleum and coal exports result in GHG being emitted beyond the borders of the source country. However, there is now pressure in Australia to limit the opening of coal mines that supply the export market, but no such limit is applied to gas exports.

Mining has significant social and environmental impacts on Indigenous peoples and communities living and working near mines. In the face of these challenges, how can we imagine a different future? Afrofuturism, an aesthetic and ethos that critically re-examines the past and present experiences of people of African descent, offers a vision that could shape a more equitable future for mining-affected communities. Drawing inspiration from the sci-fi world of the Black Panther movie, this essay explores how the principles of Afrofuturism—the disruption of hierarchies, sovereignty and decolonization—could guide the mineral resource sector towards greater social and environmental sustainability.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThe future sustainable built environment focuses mainly on environmental conservation and technological innovation and development. However, with infrastructure development, the consumption of raw materials such as cement, gypsum, sand, and stones increases. Therefore, use of industrial waste as raw material in construction shall be proposed as a sustainable and environment friendly alternative. Also, the higher demand for mineral commodities have led to increased mining and hence increased mining waste. The mine tailings being the wastes from rocks and minerals processing, are generally rich in Si, Ca, Al, Mg, and Fe, and also have considerable amounts of heavy metals and metalloids such as Pb, As, Co, Cu, Zn, V, and Cr. When tailings contain sulphide minerals, it may also lead to acid mine drainage. This makes the effective and efficient recycling and reuse of mine waste a major environmental concern. However, the physical, mineralogical and chemical composition of the mine tailings renders it a suitable material for use in civil engineering applications. This paper discusses the use of mine tailings of different origins for different civil engineering applications such as bricks, ceramics, fine aggregates, coarse aggregate and cementitious binders. This approach has a potential to reduce the demand on existing natural resources to face the demands of the exponentially developing infrastructure.

Abstract:
Lanka has been a well-known natural vein graphite supplier to the world since 1820. This reputation is mainly due to its extremely high purity, the purity being above 99% carbon as in-situ status and no other country in the world has vein graphite deposits for commercial mining now. Vein graphite is mined at Kahatagaha, Bogala, Ragedara and also from a few smaller underground mines in Sri Lanka. For decades, the Kahatagaha graphite mine has been practising the ‘open stope mining method’ and this method itself does not require extensive mine support because high strength of host rock inside the mine. It can be thought that the behaviour of graphite veins especially inclined in nature and stable host rock could be the main factors to select above mentioned mining method. But, this mining method causes many practical issues now so that mine production, miners` safety and underground work supervision are badly affected. This research includes the study of the current mining method adopted at Kahatagaha graphite mine and its suitability compared with other mining methods used for narrow vein mining and proposing a mining method which is more suitable, safer, and more economical compared to the current practising method.

Abstract:
Over the span of the 20th century, the global demand for metals and minerals has increased dramatically. This is associated with a general trend of declining ore grades from most commodities, meaning higher quantities of ore needed to be processed and thus more energy. Hence, quantifying the loss of mineral capital in terms of mass is not enough since it does not take into account the quality of the minerals in the mine. Exergy is a better indicator than mass because it measures at the same time the three features that describe any natural resource: quantity, composition and a particular concentration. For the sake of better understanding the exergy results, they are expressed in tons of Metal equivalent, tMe, which are analogously defined to tons of oil equivalent, toe. The aim of this paper is 1) to show the methodology for obtaining the exergy loss of mineral resources throughout a certain period of time and 2) to apply it to the Australian case. From the available data of production and ore grade trends of Australian mining history, the tons of Metal equivalent lost, the cumulative exergy consumption, the exergy decrease of the economic demonstrated reserves and the estimated years until depletion of the main base-precious metals are provided, namely: for gold, copper nickel, silver lead and zinc.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Underground mines are going deeper worldwide with increasing production of mineral resources and decreasing ore grade, and this fact is creating challenging conditions. This fact makes the research into mine seismicity problem paramount. This manuscript focuses on the study of seismic wave propagation in a single material medium imitating the conditions found in underground mines. Understanding how waves propagate in a medium is fundamental to better interpret real-time information for accurate rockburst prediction. For this purpose, a numerical model is developed to represent results from laboratory experiments in which a signal of AE is transmitted through the material to measure the arrival time at different sensors located in the sample. The objective of the model is to better understand the physics of wave propagation and attenuation in the medium, which cannot be directly observed in a laboratory experiment. The model will be further used for other materials and geometries to study seismic wave propagation. The study considers two configurations: the first is a solid granite cube and the second is a solid granite cube with an empty hole in the middle. These configurations are modeled in FLAC3D. The main assumptions are that materials are elastic, and the signal's waveform is sinusoidal. The study results showed wave propagation within a sample and quantified differences between modeled configurations. The model will be further used for other materials and geometries to study seismic wave propagation. INTRODUCTION With increasing production and depletion of mineral resources, underground mines are going deeper worldwide (Feng et al., 2019). Moreover, there are geotechnical engineering projects such as tunnels and underground laboratories located in very deep areas with complicated geology and ground conditions (Jiang, Feng, Xiang, &amp; Su, 2010; Zhang, Feng, Zhou, Qiu, &amp; Wu, 2012). Factors controlling seismic activity in the mine are not equivalent to those controlling the volume of the damage caused by seismicity. High stress is not the only factor causing seismicity; in fact, not all highly stressed areas are amenable to seismicity. There is a strong correlation between areas with a considerable decline in the volume of stored energy and seismically active regions. A threefold analysis is needed for the assessment of potential energy release that responds to mining works and major components of the analysis are stress, energy and loading system. Some of the conditions to be satisfied with seismic energy release from the rockmass are that (a) applied stresses have to exceed the strength of the rockmass, (b) a considerable volume of energy needs to be stored and released, and (c) energy release must be in a short period to initiate the dynamic, non-linear response of the rockmass (Kaiser, McCreath, &amp; Tannant, 1996).

Abstract:
When muscular market forces and juicy resource opportunities fall into alignment, the usual pace of power plant capital development can give way to a literal sprint. The 2010 development by Mercator Minerals of a new 45 MW gas turbine power plant at the Mineral Park Mine in Arizona is an example of the respectable speed at which an LM6000 PF Sprint plant can be bought, fueled, built and fired up. In this case, a grand market opportunity dropped into the in-basket of a mine CEO prepared to pounce: Mercator Minerals got the opportunity to sell, in a short delivery window, a great amount of copper/molybdenum ore concentrate. The opportunity was blocked by a shortage of electricity needed to mine it and concentrate the ore. A long-planned 220kV transmission line could not be permitted and built in time. Mercator recognized that a gas pipeline could be built, however, and was within the capabilities of Mercator’s construction resources. Solution: a gas-fired mine-site power plant. On Christmas Eve, 2009, Mercator summoned its power supply consultant to the mine. Power plant engineers earn part of their keep by inserting a moderating element into these spirited discussions. But when the engineers met with Mercator’s CEO on Christmas Eve, they found themselves pressed “vigorously” on the spot for a review of plant and equipment options, and an AFE-level cost of electricity estimate. The mad pace continued: the final consultant report, and Mercator’s command to proceed, came before New Year’s Day. After a multi-month scramble to find financing and an investigation into used, gray-market and new turbine availability, the engineers located a new LM6000 high in GE’s queue and temporarily homeless due to a schedule change. All parties agreed that EPC would be too slow. Mercator undertook to procure and build the entire project, employing the consultant as the design engineer. The plant’s completion and entry into service in 2010 was no surprise to Mercator. For others involved, the project seemed to finish before it had a chance to start. The project, now running productively, is a vivid testimony to Mercator’s ability to move decisively to develop a power plant crucial to the Mineral Park Mine’s production commitments.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Salt-pillar equations were developed over 25 years ago to assist with mine design. Pillar design is important for salt mines because the pillar size influences convergence of underground drifts with equipment clearance and headroom constraints, subsidence at the surface, and functional life of ground support. Current methodologies for salt-pillar design include using numerical-modeling techniques and salt-pillar-design equations as a method for estimating stresses and deformation rates. In this paper, three-dimensional simulations of square and rectangular salt pillars were performed, and the results were compared to the estimates of stress conditions using the salt-pillar-design equations. The results were used to investigate if the same salt-pillar-design equations are still valid following advancements in numerical-modeling software and the constitutive behavior of salt. This paper (1) reviews the salt-pillar-design equations, (2) compares the estimated stress conditions using numerical-modeling methods with the salt-pillar-design equations, and (3) discusses applications for the use of salt-pillar-design equations to salt mine design. INTRODUCTION The room and pillar size play a crucial role in the viability of an underground mine. Even for extensive mineral resource mines such as salt, pillar design influences the roof-to-floor convergence rate, stability of the salt back and nonsalt units, and accessibility period of mine workings. Unlike hard rock or coal mines, time-dependent deformational behavior of salt increases the pillar design complexity in underground salt mines. With technological advancement and laboratory creep tests on salt specimens, site-specific creep laws can be determined, and sophisticated numerical models can be developed to predict the room-and-pillar response over a specified period. Van Sambeek (1996) presented that the simple pillar-design equations for salt pillars can reproduce the results of extensive numerical models, such as stress conditions in salt pillars. The premise of the Van Sambeek salt-pillar-design equations is that the average values of the vertical stress, the two horizontal stresses (as compared to their actual distributions), and the corresponding deviatoric of those average stresses are adequate to estimate the pillar's creep behavior and structural stability. Therefore, the salt-pillar-design equations relate the stress averages to the shape of the pillar in terms of its height-to-width (H:W) and height-to-length (H:L) ratios.

Abstract:
Environmental expenditures include all environmental protection expenditures to prevent, reduce and control environmental aspects, impacts and hazards, in addition to the costs of disposal, treatment, hygiene and cleaning. Environmental protection expenditures are defined as investments of enterprises allocated to reduce direct environmental pollution. In this scientific paper we will address the topic of environmental costs of enterprises in the mining sector in Kosovo. All enterprises of the mining industry in Kosovo are obliged by legislation to allocate or plan a budget for environmental expenditures. The Independent Commission for Mines and Minerals is an independent agency defined by the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, which regulates mining activities in Kosovo in accordance with the Law on Mines and Minerals, bylaws issued in accordance with the Law on Mines and Minerals and Kosovo Mining Strategy. This institution has determined by administrative instruction the expenses which the enterprises of the mining sector are obliged to deposit in the form of bank guarantees, for the closure of the mine, after the expiration of the license or permit. This type of expense for the company is otherwise called insurance "for all risks to third parties". Collecting high quality and reliable environmental expenditure data is essential for policymakers to develop effective environmental policies and for donors and financial institutions. Environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a nature manager. Mining areas often experience a theme of social tension due to the potential compromise between the expected impact of employment and concerns about environmental damage. Pollution control is a necessary condition for welfare benefits despite new job opportunities in the mining sector. Mining operations often require intensive use of water resources, require land and can create severe environmental externalities, including soil erosion and pollution, air and water, pollution from acid mine drainage, to chemical leakage and sedimentation. During this paper we will be based on some methods of scientific research such as: analysis, synthesis, generalization, specification, etc. We will be based on publications or official reports of relevant institutions, Kosovo and international legislation related to the topics addressed as well as field visits to the mining sector enterprises in Kosovo, which allocate more budget for environmental expenditures, for due to the activity they exercise. Finally, we will give our conclusions regarding the adequacy of environmental expenditures made by mining sector companies in Kosovo, the legislation in force and the need to amend or supplement this legislation, etc.

Abstract:
Utah is the second largest vanadium producing state and the third largest uranium producing state in the United States. Carnotite, a primary ore mineral for both vanadium and uranium, was first discovered and used by Native Americans as a source of pigment in the Colorado Plateau hysiographic province of eastern Utah. Radioactive deposits have been ommercially mined in Utah since about 1900, starting with radium, followed by vanadium, and thenuranium. In 1952, the discovery of the Mi Vida mine in Utah’s Lisbon Valley mining district in San Juan County kicked off a uranium exploration rush across the Colorado Plateau. As a result, the United States dominated the global uranium market from the early 1950s to late 1970s. In the modern mining era, Utah is an important contributor to the domestic uranium and vanadium markets with the only operating conventional uranium-vanadium mill in the country, multiple uranium-vanadium mines on standby, and active uranium-vanadium exploration. Overall, Utah has produced an estimated 122 million lbs U3O8 and 136 million lbs V2O5 since 1904. Most of this production has been from the sandstone-hosted deposits of the Paradox Basin, with minor production from volcanogenic deposits and as byproducts from other operations across the state

Abstract:
Utah is a state with diverse geology and natural resources, and this diversity extends to mineral resources that are deemed critical by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Utah’s critical mineral portfolio includes current producers, known resources, areas of past production, and undeveloped occurrences. This report, now in its second edition, summarizes the geographic and geologic distribution of critical minerals within Utah. Utah is notable for being the global leader in beryllium production; being the only domestic producer of magnesium metal; being one of only two states producing lithium (as of publication); and being a byproduct producer of tellurium, platinum, and palladium from the world-class Bingham Canyon mine, which is one of only two domestic tellurium producers. Utah has known resources of aluminum, fluorspar, germanium, gallium, indium, vanadium, and zinc, as well as past production and occurrences of many other critical minerals. In total, Utah currently produces 6 critical minerals, has known resources of 7 more, and hosts an additional 27 as past producers and/or occurrences with limited potential for economic development.

Abstract:
Mineral resources of Baffin Island include iron (Mary River), diamonds, carbonate-hosted zinc and lead (Nanisivik), nickel, copper, platinum group elements, uranium, thorium, gemstones (sapphire, spinel, lapis lazuli), carving stone, and coal. Iron deposits include the Mary River No. 1 to 4 deposits of northern Baffin Island, which came into production in 2015 and contain 586 Mt grading 66% Fe. The Mesoproterozoic Borden Basin hosts the Nanisivik deposit, mined between 1976 and 2002; this is a Mississippi Valley-type deposit and contains 9.0% Zn, 0.7% Pb, and 41 ppm Ag. Diamond-rich kimberlite occurs as sheets and small pipes at Chidliak on Hall Peninsula; largest by area is the CH-1 (6 ha) pipe. At least 32 carving-stone localities are known; 7 communities on Baffin Island have good access to quarried material. Coal occurs in the Cretaceous-Paleogene Eclipse Trough of Bylot and northwestern Baffin islands. Exposures near Pond Inlet have been excavated for local use.

Abstract:
A growing number of countries are committed toreduce their carbon emissions and are transitioning towards renewable and clean energy sources, leading to an in crease in demand formetals and minerals. This is especially the case for a short list of what are called "critical minerals" which are considered essential to economic development, including the transition to a low-carbon economy and national security. There liability of their supply chain raises concerns considering geological scarcity, difficulty to extract and/or political factors influencing their availability. At the same time, public awareness and perception of geoscience are eroding and there is more and more reluctance towards mining projects, even from traditionally favourable communities. To face this challenge, promote public interest and outline the contribution of geological science to society, geoscientists of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC-Québec) have designed and put together a portable display that includes a suite of mineral and metal samples considered critical for the sustainable success of Canada's transition towards a clean and digital economy. The display is a user-friendly toolkit that can be used by any GSC geoscientists during outreach activities, in classrooms as well as during public open houses. It comes with straightforward pedagogic material and content, along with presentation scenarios. To broaden and adapt the workshops to specific expectations, additional toolkits were developed and all are contained within easy to carry travel cases. These cover a variety of topics and can be presented as stand-alone displays or be used complementary to one another. For example, the "Mines and minerals" collection may serve as a supplement to the "Critical minerals" display to present every day objects in which minerals are used as well as ores amples from active mines to illustrate the intertwining between mining activities and our everyday lives. Another display covers the ever-popular fossils thematic with the "Sedimentary rocks and fossils" collection and gives an opportunity to address key geoscience themes such as life evolution and biological crisis along with groundwater reservoirs and resources. The "Magmatic rocks" display touches on the formation of rocks from magmas, the different types and active processes of volcanoes, and discusses the risks and benefits related to volcanic activity. Hopefully, these four ready-to-use portable displays will encourage more GSC geoscientists to engage in public oriented activities to make geosciences more accessible, change perceptions and offer an overall tangible scientific experience for people.

Abstract:
Australia's and China's resources (e.g. Olympic Dam Cu-U-Au-Ag and Bayan Obo REE deposits) highlight how discovery and mining of iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG), iron oxide±apatite (IOA) and affiliated primary critical metal deposits in metasomatic iron and alkali-calcic (MIAC) mineral systems can secure a long-term supply of critical metals for Canada and its partners. In Canada, MIAC systems comprise a wide range of undeveloped primary critical metal deposits (e.g. NWT NICO Au-Co-Bi-Cu and Québec HREE-rich Josette deposits). Underexplored settings are parts of metallogenic belts that extend into Australia and the USA. Some settings, such as the Camsell River district explored by the Dene First Nations in the NWT, have infrastructures and 100s of km of historic drill cores. Yet vocabularies for mapping MIAC systems are scanty. Ability to identify metasomatic vectors to ore is fledging. Deposit models based on host rock types, structural controls or metal associations underpin the identification of MIAC-affinities, assessment of systems' full mineral potential and development of robust mineral exploration strategies. This workshop presentation reviews public geoscience research and tools developed by the Targeted Geoscience Initiative to establish the MIAC frameworks of prospective Canadian settings and global mining districts and help de-risk exploration for IOCG, IOA and affiliated primary critical metal deposits. The knowledge also supports fundamental research, environmental baseline assessment and societal decisions. It fulfills objectives of the Canadian Mineral and Metal Plan and the Critical Mineral Mapping Initiative among others. The GSC-led MIAC research team comprises members of the academic, private and public sectors from Canada, Australia, Europe, USA, China and Dene First Nations. The team's novel alteration mapping protocols, geological, mineralogical, geochemical and geophysical framework tools, and holistic mineral systems and petrophysics models mitigate and solve some of the exploration and geosciences challenges posed by the intricacies of MIAC systems. The group pioneers the use of discriminant alteration diagrams and barcodes, the assembly of a vocab for mapping and core logging, and the provision of field short courses, atlas, photo collections and system-scale field, geochemical, rock physical properties and geophysical datasets are in progress to synthesize shared signatures of Canadian settings and global MIAC mining districts. Research on a metamorphosed MIAC system and metamorphic phase equilibria modelling of alteration facies will provide a foundation for framework mapping and exploration of high-grade metamorphic terranes where surface and near surface resources are still to be discovered and mined as are those of non-metamorphosed MIAC systems.
