Heavy metals are potential health risk, especially in mining sites where they deteriorate from
sulfide-rich ore bodies. Lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury are very carcinogenic, while …

Abstract The Mao** large Pb-Zn deposit is located in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou
Metallogenic Province (SYGMP), southwestern China, hosting more than 3 mt Pb and Zn …

Hydrofractures, or hydraulic fractures, are fractures where a significantly elevated fluid
pressure played a role in their formation. Natural hydrofractures are abundant in rocks and …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) geological models are typical data sources in 3D mineral
prospectivity modeling. However, identifying prospectivity-informative predictor variables …

One of the most serious environmental issues related to mining industry in Morocco and
elsewhere around the world, is the pollution from abandoned mine sites. Mine wastes cause …

The granites associated with world–class W and Sn deposits generally have high
concentrations of U, Th, and K and can be classified as high heat producing (HHP) granites …

Fracture initiation and propagation in fluid-saturated rocks are controlled by interaction
between fluid flow and rock deformation. The description of hydromechanical coupling is …

The tunnel collapse, a large deformation of surrounding rock, water and mud inrush are the
main geological disasters in the process of tunnel construction. In order to control the above …

Although fluid–rock chemical interactions are common natural phenomena associated with
ore-forming systems in the crust of the Earth, they may find applications in the utilization of …

Abstract The Chating Cu–Au deposit is a newly discovered porphyry-type deposit within the
Nanling–Xuancheng mining district of the Middle–Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt …
