This book successfully connects archaeology and archaeometallurgy with geoscience and metallurgy. It addresses topics concerning ore deposits, archaeological field evidence of early metal production, and basic chemical-physical principles, as well as experimental ethnographic wo…
This book discusses potential mineral belts in various geotectonic regions around the globe, with a particular focus on concealed deposits, in order to highlight new areas for geochemical exploration and modelling. In recent years, the application of statistical methods using qu…
The survey was conducted along 2,475 kilometers of tract in the South China Sea offshore East Peninsular Malaysia to evaluate the presence of placer gold, tin and heavy minerals, as well as sand resources. Geophysical methods were employed, consisting of high resolution seismic …
It is widely reported that many of the struggling economies are among the most resource- abundant countries in the world. This has led a large number of social scientists to conclude that countries well-endowed in natural resources are cursed, thus destined to either very slow o…
The paper shall offer a vigorous debate on the opportunities and challenges of enactment of Beneficiation Law. The term beneficiation has been used largely to mean downward linkages and value addition to mineral resources for the benefit and full participation of the communities…
