Record 1 2012-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metals Mining
  • Geology
CONT

... pyrite is the dominant sulphide mineral in deposits hosted by greenschist grade rocks, whereas pyrrhotite dominates in deposits hosted by amphibolite grade rocks.

CONT

The ores are hosted mainly in the Footwall Breccia (considered by some authors to be a facies of the Sublayer).

CONT

The schist-hosted sulphide deposits represent approximately 10 percent of Canada’s historical production and reserves ...

OBS

The term "-hosted" [is] intended to indicate only a spatial relationship between rock and ore, although in many instances a genetic relationship is also accepted.

PHR

Mafic/ultramafic-hosted chromite.

Key term(s)
  • hosted

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mines métalliques
  • Géologie
CONT

[...] or inclus dans des sulfures [...]

CONT

[...] l'apatite vanadifère contenue dans les conglomérats triasiques situés au-dessus du filon.

CONT

Filons encaissés surtout dans les gneiss et micaschistes [...]

OBS

Lorsqu'un certain minéral en renferme un autre, c'est le minéral inclus qui est le plus ancien.

OBS

L'expression anglaise «be hosted by» peut également se rendre par le verbe «gîter dans» ou «se localiser dans».

OBS

[...] la minéralisation gîte parfois dans des niveaux a priori peu favorables [...]

OBS

L'adjectif «encaissé» est préféré au Québec.

OBS

Le terme «encaissé» [n'a] pour but que de souligner une relation spatiale entre roches et minerai, mais parfois une relation génétique est également supposée.

PHR

Gîte de chromite dans des roches mafiques et ultramafiques.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineralogy
  • Geochemistry
CONT

The scale of the exsolved lamellae will depend on both the cooling rate and the initial composition of the solid solution.

CONT

The ilmenite carries up to 12% hematite as exsolution lamellae.

CONT

The magnetite is medium to coarse grained and contains ilmenite in very fine exsolved blades.

CONT

Hemo-ilmenite, the principal ore mineral at the Lac Tio and Tellnes deposits... hosted in anorthosites, is typically equigranular with coarse exsolution lamellae of hematite that constitute as much as 30 mole per cent of the grains...

Key term(s)
  • unmixing lamellae
  • exsolution lamellae
  • exsolved lamellae

De manière typique, l'hémo-ilménite, principale phase métallifère des gisements de Lac Tio et de Tellnes [...] qui sont encaissés dans des anorthosites, est équigranulaire, avec de grosses lamelles d'exsolution d'hématite qui constituent jusqu'à 30 % (pourcentage molaire) des grains [...]

CONT

Lamelles d'hématite d'exsolution.

CONT

Lames d'hématite exsolvées.

Record 3 2004-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
CONT

In general..., pyrite is the dominant sulphide mineral in deposits hosted by greenschist grade rocks, whereas pyrrhotite dominates in deposits hosted by amphibolite grade rocks.

OBS

... an amphibolite facies rock can be recognised by the respective mineralogies of an argillaceous class metamorphic rock and a basic class metamorphic rock, although these mineralogies will be different.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
CONT

Si des roches du faciès amphibolique dérivent d'anciennes roches basiques par exemple de coulées, il est normal qu'elles contiennent du fer titané. [...] Des sédiments marneux peuvent également donner naissance à des roches amphiboliques; s'ils semblent en général être moins riches en Ti que les roches basiques ils en contiennent cependant en teneurs appréciables.

CONT

Au niveau des dorsales océaniques, les basaltes émis peuvent se transformer en roches du faciès schistes verts ou du faciès amphibolites [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Underground Mining
  • Ore Extraction and Transport
CONT

Shrinkage stoping may be termed a "classic" mining method, having been perhaps the most popular... It has largely been replaced by mechanized methods... It is applicable to mineral deposits with regular boundaries and steep dip hosted in a competent rock mass. Also, the blasted ore must not be affected by storage in the slopes... Its most prominent feature is the use of gravity flow for ore handling : ore from stopes drops directly into rail cars via chutes obviating manual loading... Until the appearance of the pneumatic rocker shovel..., there was no machine suitable for loading rock in underground mines.
