A three-dimensional model for the Leeuwpoort tin mine and its application to exploration prediction (University of Pretoria, 2017)Due to tighter financial margins, the need for better knowledge of grade data is required. Geological models allow the user to have a better understanding of the geological environment in which mining is taking place. Three ...
-
(International Union of Geological Sciences, 2017-06)Forensic geology has developed in each country dependent on the history, political and social setting, anthropological influences and geology. The aim of this section is to provide a global overview of forensic geology, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-08)A technique is presented in which the spectral response of a wide-band infrared measuring instrument is obtained by means of calibration type measurements of a blackbody at various temperature settings and the application ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-04)Changes in the stable isotope composition of water can, with the aid of climatic parameters, be used to calculate the quantity of evaporation from a water body. Previous workers have mostly focused on small, research ...
-
(Springer, 2018-04)After the mega-earthquakes and concomitant devastating tsunamis in Sumatra (2004) and Japan (2011), we launched an investigation into the potential risk of tsunami hazard to the coastal cities of South Africa. This paper ...
-
(Springer, 2018-12)Bechuanaland/Botswana has a long and colourful history in exploration and mining. Here these activities are subdivided into three phases: pre-historic, historic and modern. Quarrying stone in Botswana was ongoing 500,000 ...
-
(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2017-09)Provided that inter-particle flow remains laminar, hydraulic conductivity tests can be carried out in a centrifuge to accelerate flow, allowing the hydraulic conductivity of relatively impervious materials to be measured ...
-
(Seismological Society of America, 2017-08)This reply focuses on comments made by Zöller (2017). We sincerely appreciate the comment by Zöller. This comment and our response creates a perfect opportunity to clarify the controversial issue of whether area-characteristic ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-03)Within the hydrocarbon-producing Cretaceous marine Uttatur Group, Cauvery Basin, India, the Garudamangalam Sandstone Formation is at top of a TST-HST transit. The δ13C value is expectedly depleted within the calcareous ...
-
(Springer, 2018-01)The area-characteristic, maximum possible earthquake magnitude TM is required by the earthquake engineering community, disaster management agencies and the insurance industry. The Gutenberg–Richter law predicts that ...
-
(Geological Society of South Africa, 2016-12)Diamond-bearing gravels of the Lichtenburg-Ventersdorp area of the North West Province are associated with north-south orientated sinuous 'runs' that occur almost entirely on a flat erosional surface of the Malmani ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)With an estimated erupted volume of 300,000 km3 and an areal extent of more than 200,000 km2, the Paleoproterozoic (2.06 Ga) silicic volcanic rocks of the Rooiberg Group (Kaapvaal Craton) in northern South Africa forms ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Extensive research has been done on the investigation, evaluation, development and management of land underlain by dolomite to prevent the formation of sinkholes and subsidences. Little emphasis is, however, given to the ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)The drill core of borehole NZA, drilled in the southwest margin of the onshore Zululand Basin to a depth of ca. 571 m was investigated in this study. In this thesis descriptions of the geochemistry, mineralogy and physical ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)This study presents a detailed petrological and geochemical investigation of the concordant ultramafic pegmatites of the Lower Critical Zone at Dwarsrivier Mine, in the eastern Bushveld Complex. The pegmatites are ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Very limited studies have been conducted on titaniferous-magnetite exsolution textures and the conditions needed for the formation of these textures. Published research surrounding the exsolution textures consider only ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)The Tshipise Basin is considered to be a fault bounded remnant of a larger Karoo aged basin that was fragmented and preserved in the outline seen today by a number of ENE-WSW and NW-SE trending basement faults. It consists ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Lateritic soils which have been described as highly weathered tropical or sub-tropical residual soils with varying proportions of particle sizes ranging from clay size to gravel, were studied in an attempt to establish ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)The underlying mechanisms governing unsaturated flow from soil into fractured rock in the intermediate fractured vadose zone is still poorly understood despite occurring in numerous areas of application. To gain a better ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Mine water chemistry and its evolution has been the focus of various studies. However, these studies were primarily based on data from underground mines, pit lakes and mining waste dumps. Backfilled opencast mines have ...
