1. Dynamic anisotropy and non-linear geostatistics supporting short term modelling of structurally complex gold mineralization
Abstract Non-linear geostatistical methods are known to deal appropriately with the geological and geometrical complexity of gold deposits. This article reports the results related to an investigation to improve the gold content estimate based on restricted ore modeling to honor the structural aspects that control the mineralization. The grade domains are de

2. Technological innovation in Córrego do Sítio Mineração - A study of technical and economic aspects by using sensor-based sorting for refractory gold ore
Abstract The mining sector has a fundamental financial and economical role in the country where it practices these activities. In addition to employment creation and social-cultural development, the mining sector brings economic growth to the country. However, the sector is facing challenges due to COVID-19, incidents involving tailings dam facilities, risin

3. Effective density concentration in refractory gold ore for characterization purposes
Abstract This article evaluates the efficiency, benefits and limitations of pre-concentration by density separation for process mineralogy studies of low-grade gold ore. The pre-concentration by density aims to generate a product with a high content of gold and to maximize the number of gold-bearing particles characterized, thereby increasing the representat

4. Forecasting mass and metallurgical balance at a gold processing plant using modern multivariate statistics
Abstract Knowing the quantity and the quality of products and tailings generated by a beneficiation plant, even before ore processing, can make the mining operations more sustainable, more profitable, and safer. To forecast these values, it is necessary to submit samples to batch tests which mimic the processing workflow used on an industrial scale. Then, th

5. Heterogeneity test for optimising nickel sampling protocols
Abstract Fundamental Sampling Error (FSE) is generated whenever a sample is taken from a lot of particulate material and is caused by an intrinsic characteristic of every mineral deposit: the constitutional or intrinsic heterogeneity of the ore. FSE is the only error that can never be eliminated in sampling processes, but it can be reduced to acceptable valu

6. Ore resource estimation based on radial based functions - Case study on União Luiz and Morro do Carrapato Gold Deposits (Alta Floresta Gold Province)
Abstract Radial basis functions can be used as an alternative method for mineral resource estimation when ordinary kriging cannot be done because it is impossible to calculate an experimental variogram. Interpolation based on radial based functions is a method that is similar to ordinary kriging. In this context, this article presents the results of gold res

7. Developing a stepwise approach to simulate a hammer mill through the Whiten model - the adherence for a gold ore
Abstract Comminution represents a large portion of the capital and operating cost of a mineral processing plant. In 1983, Cohen estimated that comminution processes could account for 30% to 50% of the power consumption of the mill, and typically represents 50% of the operating costs of a mine. Therefore, its optimization is directly related to reduction of t

8. Sedimentary and U-Pb detrital zircons provenance of the Paleoproterozoic Piracicaba and Sabará groups, Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Southern São Francisco craton, Brazil
Abstract The Quadrilátero Ferrífero is an important mineral province located in Southern São Francisco craton, SE Brazil. Its prominent feature is the Gandarela syncline that was formed as part of the regional deformation event in the southernmost part of the craton at ca. 2,000 Ma. The syncline exposes several economically important units of Rio das Velh

9. Effectiveness acidic pre-cleaning for copper-gold ore
Abstract The presence of copper-bearing minerals is known to bring on many challenges during the cyanidation of gold ore, like high consumption of cyanide and low extraction of metal, which are undesirable impacts on the auriferous recovery in the subsequent process step. The high copper solubility in cyanide prevents the direct use of classical hydrometallu

10. NANOFILTRATION AND REVERSE OSMOSIS APPLIED TO GOLD MINING EFFLUENT TREATMENT AND REUSE
Abstract Gold mining and ore processing are activities of great economic importance. However, they are related to generation of extremely polluted effluents containing high concentrations of heavy metals and low pH. This study aims to evaluate the optimal conditions for gold mining effluent treatment by crossflow membrane filtration regarding the following v

11. Geophysical modeling in gold deposit through DC Resistivity and Induced Polarization methods
Abstract Ore mining fundamentally depends on the definition of its tenor and volume, something extremely complex in disseminated mineralization, as in the case of certain types of deposits of gold and sulfites. This article proposes the use of electrical tomography for definition of a geophysical signature in terms of electrical resistivity and chargeability

12. Solubility of Heavy Metals/Metalloid on Multi-Metal Contaminated Soil Samples from a Gold Ore Processing Area: Effects of Humic Substances
ABSTRACT Bioavailability of heavy metals at contaminated sites is largely controlled by the physicochemical properties of the environmental media such as dissolved organic matter, hydroxides and clay colloids, pH, soil cation exchange capacity and oxidation-reduction potential. The aim of this study was to investigate soil pH and heavy metal solubility effec
