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...

Biglar Permo-Triassic bauxite deposit is located in ~15 km northwest of Abgarm, southwest of Ghazvin province, west of central Iran. It consists of 8 stratiform and discontinuous bauxite lenses lying along the contact of Ruteh (Permian) and Elika (Triassic) carbonate formations. Petrographically, the bauxite ores exhibit collomorphic-fluidal, pseudo-breccia, pseudo-porphyritic, panidio-morphic-...

Bauxite deposits of Jharkhand in India are resulted from the lateritization process and therefore are often associated with the laterites. In the present study, ASTER (Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) image is processed to delineate bauxite rich pockets within the laterites. In this regard, spectral signatures of lateritic bauxite samples are analyzed in the labo...

to enhance the certainty of the grade block model, it is necessary to increase the number of exploratory drillholes and collect more data from the deposit. the inputs of the process of locating these additional drillholes include the variogram model parameters, locations of the samples taken from the initial drillholes, and the geological block model. the uncertainties of these inputs will lead...
