Three-dimensional (3-D) seismic exploration is a geophysical technique that has undergone rapid growth and development in the petroleum industry. It is a mature technology that has the potential to provide accurate volumetric images of the subsurface for interpreting the structural and stratigraphic framework of ore deposits. Under favourable circumstances, 3-D seismic methods can also provide ...

Recent research on BIF-related high-grade iron ore mineralization has resulted in new genetic models that emphasize the structurally controlled hypogene alteration and upgrade of BIF to high-grade (>65% Fe) iron ore. Conventional structural and stratigraphic mapping and reconstructions of the tectonic history of iron districts, in combination with high-tech geochemical analyses such as laser IC...

This study reports major, minor, and trace element data and Sr isotope ratios for 11 uranium ore (uraninite, UO2þx) samples and one processed uranium ore concentrate (UOC) from various U.S. deposits. The uraninite investigated represent ores formed via different modes of mineralization (e.g., highand lowtemperature) and within various geological contexts, which include magmatic pegmatites, meta...
