Advances in Gold Ore Processingby M.D. Adams
Elsevier 2005; US$ 300.00The gold processing industry is experiencing change. As free-milling and oxide ores become depleted, more complex polymetallic and refractory ores are being processed, coupled with increasing pressure for stricter environmental compliance. Recent years have also seen a steady reduction in mineral processing and metallurgy graduates and a gradual loss of older operating experience. A contribution to documenting current and future best practice in gold ore processing seems timely. The focus of this volume is on advances in current gold plant operation, from conception to closure; chapters also cover innovations at the bench and pilot-scale level that would be expected to find commercial application at some stage. Sufficient coverage is also... more...

Politics of Miningby Deepak Malhorta
SME 1905; US$ 39.00The mining industry presents many unique challenges including working in remote locations with unfamiliar cultures, the business of permitting, environmental protection, sustainable development, the persistence of negative stereotypes about the business, and the sometimes tricky mechanics of training and transferring technology. In addition, tension can spring up among the various disciplines involved as engineers, attorneys, accountants, and environmentalists, to name a few, encounter difficulty in finding a common language. And finally, as in any large and multifaceted industry, politics abound both inside and outside a given mining organization. The logically trained engineering mind may find these financial, social, cultural, and environmental... more...
