illite/smectite) suggesting an intact gold-bearing hydrothermal system. First Geological Model Established: A structured geological framework has been developed to refine exploration targeting ...

The clay mineral assemblages of core M5-8, as shown in Supplementary Table 2, are dominated by illite, which constitutes 50.55 to 64.71% of the composition, with an average of 59.72%. Smectite ...

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma ...

These zones transition to areas dominated by alunite, kaolinite, and illite, along with quartz and vuggy silica, occurring within the most intensely altered regions generally at lower elevations ...

Over time, lithium-rich minerals settled into clay deposits, transforming into illite, a lithium-bearing mineral considered ...

Chemical dispersion has been commonly used to mitigate the negative effects of ultrafine particles in iron ore concentration processes. However, mechanical solutions such as ultrasound are proving to ...

The vanadium contents are higher than the national (25 μg/g) and global (21 μg/g) averages, such as those of the Bide syncline (93.4 μg/g), Shui Gonghe syncline (139.9 μg/g), Bainiqing syncline (88.9 ...

Through remote measurements, scientists have discovered that parts of Mars’ crust contain ultramafic igneous rocks, similar to those that produce smectites through weathering on Earth. Satellite ...

Boron is a micronutrient for plants required for several biochemical processes ( Cakmak and Romheld, 1997). Boron deficiency is a widespread problem in relatively humid areas, especially in sandy ...
