taken from "The Ore Deposits of New Mexico," Professional Paper 68 of the United States Geological Survey, by Waldemar Lindgren, L. C. Graton and C. H. Gordon. Subsequent information has been obtained from various sources. A fairly complete bibliography is appended, and the reports listed contain considerable valuable data on gold in New Mexico.
Laterite is both a soil and a rock type rich in iron and aluminum and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content. They develop by intensive and prolonged weathering of the underlying parent rock.Tropical weathering (laterization) is a prolonged process of chemical weathering which ...

· Ore processing at mine and mill sites typically involves the grinding of ore rock into fine particles on the order of 0.5 to 1 mm in size. Thus, the grain-size of the mining wastes are often smaller than the natural load of the river (Fig. 2).
· Mining and milling operations, including grinding, concentrating ores and disposal of waste rock and tailings, along with mine and mill waste water, are sources of contamination in the surface and underground environment (Navarro et al. 2008).Abandoned mines are more of a problem in areas with long historic mining like Europe because mine closure practices have changed with time …
Design of Surface Mine Haulage Roads – A Manual By Walter W. Kaufman and James C. Ault ABSTRACT This Bureau of Mines manual for design of surface mine haulage roads covers such aspects of haulage road design as road alignment (both vertical and horizontal), construction materials, cross slope, and drainage provisions.
Additionally, the Commission regulates surface mining for coal, uranium, and iron ore gravel, and conducts a program for reclaiming lands that were mined and abandoned before 1975. The Railroad Commission of Texas had its origin in the demands of the shipping public in the late 1880s that insisted that railroads be subject to regulation based ...
It also covers smaller scale quarrying, such as gravel, sand, chalk, clay and marl extraction. Roman iron ore extraction and post-medieval whetstone mining was very intensive. However, the smaller scale clay, chalk and marl extraction probably had the most persistent effect …

Although no 43-101 compliant resource has been defined on this property, historical reports have defined "ore reserves" of 58,600 tones with an average grade of 0.665 oz/t gold (38,969 ounces Au) contained within the existing development work and an additional 64,000 tons averaging 0.505 oz/t gold (32.320 ounces Au) of "probable ore".

river. However, future mining operations in flood plains will likely have more difficulty in obtaining permits because alluvial mining can adversely impact aquatic and riparian habitat (Nor-man and others, 1998).

· The ratio of tailings to concentrate is commonly very high, generally around 200:1 (Lottermoser, 2007).Moreover, as the point of peak metal production is surpassed, the extraction of lower grade ore is an established long-term trend (Mason et al., 2010).For example, in Australia the average Cu grade was c. 10% in 1885 but it fell to 1% by 2005, whereas in Canada the average Ni grade was …

101) of underground mine fata lities were attributed to roof, rib and face falls, while less than 5% of the 155 surface fatalities were caused by falls of highwalls or slopes.

in this estimate. The reserves available for open pit mining, using a maximum permissible stripping ratio of 2/3 cubic yard of waste to 1 ton of ore, has been calculated to be 3.5 billion tons. Much of the ore is exposed at surface and, therefore, the average stripping ratio is in the order of 1/3 cubic yard waste to 1 ton of ore.
· The mineral industry, in particular iron ore, has long played a crucial role in the nation''s economic development. From the early 1960s until the civil crisis of the 1990s the iron ore mining sector contributed more than 20 per cent of the gross national product and employed more than 50,000 people, or approximately 15 per cent of the country''s total workforce.
· 3.1.4. Ponds from Gravel Pump Mining. Gravel pump mining is carried out in an open pit excavated mine pit (Figure 4) where a powerful water jet monitor is used to break up the tin-bearing alluvium on the sides of the mine. The resulting slurry is washed into a sump from which it is pumped to the top of sluice box (palong).
Another drawback of the illegal mining sector is smuggling of the ore. Since most gold is recovered illegally, cross border smuggling is common in those regions, therefore is hard to estimate the exact amounts of recovered ore and the revenue from it: "Illicit marketing is primarily the result of inadequate government policies.
