A fully automated field-based Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) system, housed in a portable container, allows for rapid analysis of bulk samples containing copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Tin (Sn), iron (Fe), coal, and other critical elements. By automatically analysing the entire sample volume, PGNAA provides several advantages over other techniques such as X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). Unlike XRF and LIBS, which primarily analyze surface layers, PGNAA examines the entire sample composition. Additionally, PGNAA can effectively analyze lighter elements, which can pose challenges for XRF-based systems. This technology enables mining plants to gain valuable insights into the composition of incoming ores, enhancing operational efficiency and informed decision-making. The ability to assess bulk samples comprehensively contributes to better resource management and process optimization.

⛏️Will inefficient exploration threaten the energy transition?⛏️ The energy transition is a metals transition, decarbonisation technologies demand significant volumes of metals and minerals. As a result, demand for certain critical minerals is expected to skyrocket. Copper demand will 2x by 2050, and demand for Lithium will 15x according to some forecasts. Supply shortages are expected in lithium, copper, nickel and cobalt. Finding new reserves has always been difficult and expensive, and it’s only getting more so. Most of the world’s easily discovered reserves are already being tapped. Current approaches to find new reserves are inefficient. More than 99% of exploration projects fail to become mines, and the industry now spends three times more to make 60% fewer discoveries compared to 30 years ago. But wait... A crop of start-ups are aiming to make the exploration process faster, cheaper and more efficient by applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to exploration for reserves of critical minerals. ft KoBold Metals, VerAI Discoveries, TerraEye, EARTH AI Drop a comment below and I'll send you the deep dive 👇

The mining division of Rosatom has developed a technology for extracting rare earth metals The production of cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium and concentrate of the medium-heavy group of rare earth elements (samarium, gadolinium, europium) using the new technology will be organized at Rosatom's Solikamsk Magnesium Plant. The raw material for the production of rare earth elements will be loparite concentrate, which is extracted and enriched by another enterprise of the state corporation - Lovozersky Mining and Processing Plant. The essence of the technology is that the concentrate of REM carbonate dissolves in nitric acid. A nitrate solution of rare earth elements is obtained. Cerium is extracted from it by electrooxidation and subsequent extraction. Other rare earth elements are sequentially extracted from the remaining solution using extraction separation. Then there are the stages of precipitation, drying and calcination. https://lnkd.in/dUVyi-2G

*Unleashing the Power of Technology to Revolutionize Efficiency, Safety, and Sustainability in the Glittering Realm of Gold Mining.* There are several ways in which information technology can be practically implemented in the gold mining sector. Some of these include: Automation and Robotics: Information technology can be used to automate various processes in gold mining, such as ore extraction, transportation, and processing. This can help improve efficiency and productivity, as well as reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Remote Monitoring and Control: Information technology can enable remote monitoring and control of mining operations, allowing operators to monitor equipment performance, detect faults or anomalies, and make necessary adjustments in real-time. This can help optimize operations and minimize downtime. Data Analytics and Predictive Maintenance: Information technology can be used to collect and analyze large volumes of data generated by mining operations, such as equipment performance data, geological data, and environmental data. This can help identify patterns and trends, predict equipment failures or maintenance needs, and optimize resource allocation. Safety and Security: Information technology can be used to enhance safety and security in gold mining operations. For example, sensors and cameras can be deployed to monitor working conditions and detect potential hazards, while access control systems and surveillance technologies can be used to protect sensitive areas and prevent unauthorized access. Environmental Monitoring and Management: Information technology can be used to monitor and manage the environmental impact of gold mining operations. For instance, remote sensing technologies can be used to monitor land use and vegetation cover, while data analytics can help identify and mitigate potential environmental risks. Overall, the practical implementation of information technology in the gold mining sector can help improve operational efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. It can also enable better decision-making through data-driven insights and predictive analytics.

Scientists have used hydrometallurgical and electrochemical processes to recover pure silver from solar cells. The proposed technique also utilizes a method known as electrodeposition-redox replacement, which reportedly increases the silver recovery rate. Combining hydrometallurgical and electrochemical processes, they were reportedly able to recover pure silver at an efficiency of 98%. Hydrometallurgical processes, or leaching, use aqueous solutions to extract metals, while electrochemical processes refer to the use of electric currents to drive reactions in metals. “The retrieval of raw materials is crucial for multiple reasons,” explained the academics. “Conventional metal extraction techniques, such as open-pit mining, can inflict substantial harm on the environment and neighboring ecosystems. Therefore, employing a metal recovery process based on industrial wastes can mitigate the environmental impact associated with metal production. Additionally, metal recovery generally requires less energy than extracting metals from ore, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower carbon emissions, especially if the recovery rate is comparable to or higher than traditional extraction methods.”

BURIED TREASURE -- Japanese researchers have discovered vast deposits of precious metals on the seabed near an island off the country’s coast. If/when fully retrieved, there are likely enough minerals for more than a decade’s-worth of industrial use by Japan — a potential boon in boosting green tech manufacturing. • The researchers found 250 million tons of manganese nodules around Minami-Torishima, an uninhabited island around 1,000 miles southeast of Tokyo. • The nodules contain iron, manganese, cobalt, and nickel, the last three of which are crucial for electric vehicle batteries. • Hundreds of thousands of tons of pure metals should be extractable, and the research team hopes to start extraction in the next year. 🏴☠️ 🚀 🌍
