  • Economic Geology
  • Metals Mining
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
CONT

Ore grades are somewhat variable. The lowest grade of working deposit in western countries appears to be at Outukumpu (Finnish) mine working 0.2% Ni ore. This low grade can be compared with the very high grade sections of some Western Australian deposits that run about 12% Ni. Of course, the overall grade for Australian deposits is less than this because lower grade ore is mined with these high grades.

CONT

The dunite pipes contain mineralization that is locally of high grade ...

CONT

The gold zones contained as much as 30% disseminated sulphides, but high gold values appear to have been independent of base metals.

DEF

Said of an ore with a relatively high ore-mineral content.

CONT

Beneficiation reduces the ore bulk and leaves a high-grade, concentrated product.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géologie économique
  • Mines métalliques
  • Minéralurgie (Métallurgie)
CONT

La valeur industrielle d'un minerai dépend [...] de sa teneur en élément métallique principal, teneur très variable puisque, à 30 p. 100 de fer, un minerai est «pauvre» et qu'à 0,2 p. 100 d'uranium le minerai est «riche» [...]

CONT

[...] [de] gigantesques aménagements miniers du Nouveau-Québec ont été réalisés en fonction de l'épuisement anticipé du minerai à haute teneur du lac Supérieur.

CONT

L'Inde possède de grands amas d'hématites à haute teneur dans le sud et surtout le nord-est du plateau du Dekkan [...]
