Blast-induced ground vibration and air overpressure are considered as the most important environmental hazards of mining and can damage structures such as buildings, dams and pit slopes. Review of previous studies has ...

The main objective of a gold mining company is to extract gold from its ores economically. Minerals present in ores can be linked to grindability, recovery, reagents consumption, and challenges in metallurgical accounting. ...

Evaluation of fragmentation remains an ever important discussion in the mining parlance as it is the first step towards mineral recovery. Predictions and estimation of blast induced fragmentation have significant ...

Feasibility study has been limited to large scale mining, over the years. Small Scale Gold Miners in Ghana generally do not conduct feasibility study before they embark on mining and as a result they are not properly ...

Geometallurgy provides a platform for cross-functional teamwork between geology and metallurgy, providing better inputs to mine planning and strategic decision making. Understanding variability in the orebody enables ...

Reconciliation of mineral resource model with grade control model of the Teberebe orebody had some important variations. These were very significant where there were inadequate drill hole data and geological interpretation. ...

The aim of this thesis is to establish a mineralisation model for the gold deposits/occurrences along the Prestea Gold Belt in south-western Ghana. The work is to support active exploration which is currently underway on ...

Blasting is a very important process for fragmentation of rock as part of operations and a lot of explosives are used for this purpose. The blasting process, however, remains a potential source of numerous human and ...
