In this paper we present and elaborate one research example when bauxite was the main target of the investigation. During reprocessing and reinterpretation of the original data from the “Crvene stijene” locality near Jajce in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was established that bauxite hanging wall and footwall rocks in fact represent an even more valuable mineral resource, as “dimension stone”. The...

Materials and methods: A total of 300 stones were obtained at Atatürk University, Faculty of Medicine Urology Clinic through open surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL), ureterorenoscopy (URS), and extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) between 1 January 2005 and 30 December 2008. Stones were analyzed in the laboratory of Ankara General Directorate of Mineral Research Exploration usi...

Between 2010 and 2011, the author’s group developed a practical SQUID system applicable to minerals exploration under the development of the next generation SQUITEM equipment and SQUID magnetometers, commissioned by Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC). With the successful completion of final tests in Australia, a practically designed SQUID system developed for electromagneti...

We outline a number of high temperature superconducting Josephson junction-based devices including superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) developed for a wide range of applications including geophysical exploration, magnetic anomaly detection, terahertz (THz) imaging and microwave communications. All these devices are based on our patented technology for fabricating YBCO step-edg...

The Jiaodong Peninsula hosts the main large gold deposits and was first production area in China; multisource multiscale geoscience datasets are available. is biggest drilling mineral-exploration zone China. This study used three-dimensional (3D) modeling, geology, ore body alteration to extract synthesize mineralization information analyze exploration targeting Zhaoxian deposit northwestern Pe...

A 10-year old girl presented with fatigue, hypercalcemia, and subperiosteal phalangeal osteolytic lesions. Ultrasonography and MIBI scintigraphy showed a structure near the lower pole of thyroid gland. The structure macroscopically appeared as adenoma, histologically it was thymic tissue. Bilateral neck exploration together with exploration of cervical thymic extensions was performed; adenoma w...

Proceedings of GeoComputation ‘97 & SIRC ‘97 Effective mineral exploration requires a detailed knowledge of the factors and processes which result in the formation of economic deposits. To apply this knowledge, a sound three-dimensional understanding of the geology and structure of a region is required. In most cases, surface geology can be mapped with a high degree of accuracy, however, the ge...

Category 1 – General Domain This is a system in the geology domain. Main General Function PROSPECTOR is an expert system designed for decision-making problems in mineral exploration. It aids geologists in evaluating the favorability of an exploration site or region for occurrences of ore deposits of particular types. Once a site has been identified, PROSPECTOR can also be used for drilling-site...

The application of chemistry to the technological requirements of the mineral industry is attended by problems of communication, isolation and application. Examples of research related to mineral exploration, underground fires, and the treatment of refractory ores suggest that the effective mineral chemist must learn the language of geology, metallurgy and engineering; that he must extend his s...
