Mineral resource activities in Antarctica were brought to the agenda at 6th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) held Tokyo for first time 1970. The Convention on Regulation of Resource Activities (CRAMRA), which regulates issue detail, could not enter into force after France and Australia decided sign Convention. Protocol Environmental Protection (PEPAT) was signed Special ATCMs that t...

Abstract Purpose The assessment of potential environmental impacts associated to mineral resource use in LCA is a highly debated topic. Most current impact methods consider the extraction resources as issue concern, while their dissipation an emerging concept. This article proposes approach account for life cycle inventories (LCIs), with application case study. Methods definition first discusse...

The depletion of non-renewable natural resources (primarily mineral and energy resources) its assessment is a problem that analyzed based on the concept sustainable development. Mineral resource particularly important for resource-based economies. It provides assessing impact asset disposal results from suspension or termination operations conducted by mining company due to insurmountable circu...

Mineral Resource downgrades can be prevented by integrating better structural geological interpretations into project evaluations. Geological modelling for estimation is presented as a systematic process of analysis at the deposit-scale using drill-sampled grade data. The initial step in this to use Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) rendering interpret axial symmetry and its orientation from i...

This paper is devoted to determining whether the addition of geological information can improve resource estimate mineral resources. The geochemical data used come from 116 drill holes in Nkout East iron deposit southern Cameroon. These are modeled on Surpac and Isatis softwares represent 3D distribution deposit. Statistical analysis then a variographic study performed spatial variability iron....

Due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. The known world class Cu-Mo deposit, Sarcheshmeh Porphyry deposit (central Iran) selected as the study area. The Hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...
