🛠 Interested in the potential for #criticalminerals in waste rock and #tailings at historic and current mines in BC? Getting involved in this project is a great opportunity to be part of the conversation 👋 Geoscience BC seeks further collaborations on critical minerals and metals #research - MINING.com 🛠 #mining #mineralexpoloration #geology #netzero

The Technical Conference ended with a session focused on the “Growing Importance of Critical Minerals and Sustainable Mining Practices.” Chaired by Dr. Ahmed Abo Ghonaim, Geologist, Technical Office, Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority (EMRA), the session included presentations addressing environmental challenges within Egypt’s mining sector and exploring rare earth minerals and modern mining techniques. #EgyptMiningForum #MiningConferences #EMF2024 #Sustainability #MiningIndustry #MiningInnovation #MiningTech #MiningNetworking #geology #technology #innovation #criticalminerals #exploration #environment #challenges

The Kiruna Mining District, 200km north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden, is well known for the giant Kiruna Iron-Oxide-Apatite (IOA) deposit. The district has a long history of iron production extending back to the late 1800s. Less well known are the #copper deposits that are spatially associated with Kiruna. New work by both researchers and explorationists is providing a better understanding of the complicated relationships in these Paleoproterozoic rocks. A shift in mindset is allowing for new perspectives and an opportunity for #discovery. Following on from our last episode, #44 of #DiscoveryToRecovery completes our two-part series on northern Sweden. We first talked to Leslie Logan, PhD candidate at Luleå University of Technology. Her study focuses on the #tectonic framework of the Svecokarelian greenstone belt and uses a #mineral systems approach to understand mineral occurrences in the district. The origin of the copper deposits has long been debated. Leslie’s work provides new #data and interpretation to understand the origins and relationship of the deposits with each other. Our second guest was Marcello Imaña, Chief Geologist from Copperstone Resources to talk about the history of Viscaria Cu-Fe deposit which is immediately adjacent to the giant Kiruna IOA deposit. #Mining at Viscaria was carried out from 1982 to 1997. Most recently, Copperstone Resources acquired the deposit and are aiming to be in full production again in 2026 after a very successful exploration phase. Their secret was going to an old place with new ideas. Marcello shares how they changed their mindsets staying away from #models and relying on what they saw in the rocks. He believes that successful efforts at Viscaria will transform and promote the Kiruna Mining District for copper. https://lnkd.in/gsMUX_Pn

In her presentation titled "Challenges And Technologies In Marine Mining Focus On Extracting From Underwater Mines", Haya Hesham from Smart University of Science and Technology | SUST explained the challenges of marine mining, showcased the latest tecnologies involved in the process, and highlighted the present environmental and logistical challenges accompanied. #EgyptMiningForum #MiningConferences #EMF2024 #Sustainability #MiningIndustry #MiningInnovation #MiningTech #MiningNetworking #geology #technology #innovation #criticalminerals #exploration

MINEX Forum: In an era where mineral resources form the bedrock of economic progress, Uzbekistan stands at the forefront of a groundbreaking transformation. Spearheaded by Minister of Mining and Geology, Bobir Islamov, the nation is poised to revolutionise its subsoil law, redefining the landscape of geological exploration and mining investment. #uzbekistan #mining #metall #geology #resources #economy #growth #invest

E-Tech reveals high rare earth potential in Namibian Eureka - Mining Review Africa: E-Tech reveals high rare earth potential in Namibian Eureka  Mining Review Africa

Some more great results released yesterday from our Semna and Zeno projects. The broad zones of mineralisation at Semna, demonstrated by these saw cut channels confirm the continuity of high-grade mineralisation from drill hole intercepts to the surface. Meanwhile the first pass drill results from our neighbouring project, Zeno, were also highly encouraging with some great intercepts drilled. Aton will be attending 121 Mining Investment in Cape Town next week, please reach out if you are interested in discussing this latest news. #gold #silver #egypt #egyptmining #miningnews #miningindustry #exploration #geology #tsxv #geologist #goldexploration #mining #mine #silvermining #africa #indaba #121mininginvestment

The exploration team doing their best job. Along Swat river, local peoples use an old way to find emeralds. They collect leftover rocks tailings of talc schist from the emerald mining sites. These rocks might have emeralds in them. They wash the rocks and separate them to find the heavy ones. Then, they carefully check them by hand to find the emeralds. It's important to note that traditional emerald recovery methods can be labor-intensive and may not be as efficient as modern, mechanized mining techniques. However, for many communities along the Swat River, these traditional methods are a vital source of income and cultural heritage. display of Earth's geological treasures. #chinar_group_of_companies #Chinar_rock_sheet #chinar_mines_and_mineral_department #chinar_resort #we_believe_in_relationships #earth_explorer_club #earth_explorer_pvt_limited #Never_Stop_Exploring #WORK_for_NATION #work_for_country #Safety_first #mine_development #minerals #quartz #marble_mining #geologicalexploration #geological_mapping #greenemerald
