This paper focuses on handheld and top-of-hole techniques which have appeared since
2007 or have undergone major improvements, and discusses their benefits, challenges and …

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a well-established tool in the study of hydrothermal
systems, as it allows for the identification and quantification of mineral assemblages …

The analysis of drill powders (drill fines) extracted from fluid that is returned during drilling
can provide a sampling media that records cm-scale changes in the geochemistry of the …

Geological constraints are one of the main causes of delays and excessive costs during
engineering projects, especially in underground and foundation works within challenging …

Porphyry-type deposits are crucial reserves of Cu and Mo. They are associated with large
haloes of hydrothermal alteration that host particular mineral assemblages. Portable X-ray …

In this paper, we summarise advancements in top-of-hole sensing achieved within the Deep
Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC). It was demonstrated …

Old mining sites, also known as brownfields targets, are promising areas in terms of mineral
exploration. It is known that they have an existing ore potential and there are already …

This book (Special Issue) presents the geological environment, physical/chemical
properties, and crystallographic data for two new minerals associated with chromitites from …

The aim of the present article is to carry out compressive review of corrosion testing
techniques which were and which are presently used for many purpose. The purpose can …
