The Vathi porphyry Cu-Au ± Mo mineralization is located in the Serbo-Macedonian metallogenic province of Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt. It mainly hosted by a latite and genetically associated with quartz monzonite intrusion, which intruded basement rocks Vertiskos Unit latite, 18 to 17 Ma ago. A phreatic breccia crosscuts latite. was affected potassic alteration, whereas subjected local pro...

Black shale ore contains rich strategic metal resources such as vanadium, nickel, and molybdenum, but due to its complex composition, it is currently only used in the vanadium extraction industry. Metals nickel molybdenum have not been effectively recovered, resulting environmental pollution resource waste. Using mineralogical features a combination of beneficiation metallurgy-based tests, pres...

Limited data are available on the effects of molybdenum (Mo) on avian wildlife, which impairs evaluation of ecological exposure and risk. While Mo is an essential trace nutrient in birds, little is known of its toxicity to birds exposed to molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), the predominant form found in molybdenite ore. The chemical form and bioavailability of Mo is important in determining its toxic...

Exploration under thick glacial sediment cover is an important facet of modern mineral exploration in Canada and northern Europe. Till heavy concentrate (HMC) indicator methods are well established for diamonds, gold, base metals glaciated terrain. Traditional rely on visual examination >250 µm HMC material. This study applies liberation analysis (MLA) to investigate the finer (<250 µm) f...
