Trace element concentrations in magnetite are dictated by the petrogenetic environment and by the physico-chemical conditions
during magmatic, hydrothermal, or sedimentary processes. This makes magnetite chemistry a useful ...
Poland is characterised by weak natural seismicity. However, the last analysis of the natural seismic hazard in the country was carried out 24 years ago. Therefore, a significant fraction of the recorded seismicity is not ...
Over the past decade, there have been 45 tailings storage facility (TSF) disasters worldwide resulting in fatalities, serious environmental
damage, and the destruction of entire ecosystems. These failures often stem from ...

English: Mudrocks occur in many parts of southern Africa and large quantities
are used in road construction. This study involved research on the "state
of the art" of the road construction aspects of mudrocks in southern ...
The South African Statistical Association (SASA) turned 70 years old in 2023, having made huge impacts
in South Africa and beyond. Through SASA, the statistics community in South Africa has made significant
strides in ...

This study compared the reactivity of a plagioclase concentrate subjected to two processes: (1) direct acid leaching and (2) thermochemical treatment with ammonium sulfate followed by leaching. The sample was prepared from ...
In recent years, machine learning (ML) has become a pivotal tool for predicting and
diagnosing thyroid disease. While many studies have explored the use of individual ML models for thyroid
disease detection, the accuracy ...

The crustal evolution of the Angolan Shield (AS) remains poorly constrained. To address this, we analysed U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes in detrital and igneous zircons to investigate the age and provenance of extensive sedimentary ...
Sandbody distribution patterns and controls are the most important foundation for
petroleum exploration and development, particularly in a lacustrine basin with rapid changes
in the sedimentary environment. To provide ...

South Africa has a growing population, a relatively dry climate, and abundant mining activity, all of which increase the importance of water management. The Mooiplaas Dolomite Quarry, south east of Pretoria, has been mining ...
South Africa has the potential to be a global leader in implementing strategies targeting geochemical carbon
dioxide removal (CDR) using mine tailings, utilising methods for alkalinity production and mineral carbonation.
This ...

A baseline study was conducted to gain a better understanding of the relationship between
groundwater, geology, and geography of the Greater Timbavati Area, to advance the knowledge of
hydrostratigraphical settings ...
The incessant reoccurrence of flooding disasters across Nigeria has mandated an urgent outlook on food-risk management
techniques. Ilorin and its environs have suffered immensely from annual food reoccurrence. This study ...

A detailed sedimentological analysis of the Palaeocene Lockhart Limestone has
been conducted to evaluate the depositional environment, diagenetic processes and
hydrocarbon potential of the eastern margin of the Upper ...
Gain, Stephen Bryant(University of Pretoria, 1981)
The farm Maandagshoek 254 KT is situated in the
eastern lobe of the Bushveld Complex. The investigated
sequence forms part of the Winterveld Norite-Anorthosite of
the critical zone and consists of the UGl, UG2, UG3 ...
