1. Dynamic anisotropy and non-linear geostatistics supporting short term modelling of structurally complex gold mineralization
Abstract Non-linear geostatistical methods are known to deal appropriately with the geological and geometrical complexity of gold deposits. This article reports the results related to an investigation to improve the gold content estimate based on restricted ore modeling to honor the structural aspects that control the mineralization. The grade domains are de

2. Technological innovation in Córrego do Sítio Mineração - A study of technical and economic aspects by using sensor-based sorting for refractory gold ore
Abstract The mining sector has a fundamental financial and economical role in the country where it practices these activities. In addition to employment creation and social-cultural development, the mining sector brings economic growth to the country. However, the sector is facing challenges due to COVID-19, incidents involving tailings dam facilities, risin

3. Peculiarities of drilling and blasting in underground small-scale mines
Abstract Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) is a prominent activity in the extractive industry: considering only gold, it produces about 20% of the world market supply. Despite this fact, ASM is generally associated with the negative aspects of its environ mental impact, and operational research is generally neglected. This article empha sizes the peculi

4. Heterogeneity test for optimising nickel sampling protocols
Abstract Fundamental Sampling Error (FSE) is generated whenever a sample is taken from a lot of particulate material and is caused by an intrinsic characteristic of every mineral deposit: the constitutional or intrinsic heterogeneity of the ore. FSE is the only error that can never be eliminated in sampling processes, but it can be reduced to acceptable valu

5. Fabry disease: genetics, pathology, and treatment
SUMMARY Fabry disease (FD) is a recessive monogenic inheritance disease linked to chromosome X, secondary to mutations in the GLA gene. Its prevalence is estimated between 1:8,454 and 1:117,000 among males and is probably underdiagnosed. Mutations in the GLA gene lead to the progressive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Gb3 accumulates in lysosome

6. The role of airborne geophysics in the investigation of gold occurrences in the Itapetim Region, Borborema Province, Northeast Brazil
Abstract We present a combined analysis of airborne geophysical data (magnetics and gamma-ray spectrometry) and field aspects of Itapetim lode gold district region, aiming to identify structurally deformed and hydrothermally altered zones, which are suggestive of gold mineralized sectors. The main geophysical lineaments are oriented in the NE-SW and E-W dire

7. Ore resource estimation based on radial based functions - Case study on União Luiz and Morro do Carrapato Gold Deposits (Alta Floresta Gold Province)
Abstract Radial basis functions can be used as an alternative method for mineral resource estimation when ordinary kriging cannot be done because it is impossible to calculate an experimental variogram. Interpolation based on radial based functions is a method that is similar to ordinary kriging. In this context, this article presents the results of gold res

8. Sedimentary and U-Pb detrital zircons provenance of the Paleoproterozoic Piracicaba and Sabará groups, Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Southern São Francisco craton, Brazil
Abstract The Quadrilátero Ferrífero is an important mineral province located in Southern São Francisco craton, SE Brazil. Its prominent feature is the Gandarela syncline that was formed as part of the regional deformation event in the southernmost part of the craton at ca. 2,000 Ma. The syncline exposes several economically important units of Rio das Velh

9. An integrated pit-to-plant approach using technological models for strategic mine planning of copper and gold deposits
Abstract The strategic mine plan is a crucial step for the success of mining companies, and for its development, it is necessary to use a number of inter-related variables that are usually estimated independently. These variables include operational data that is traditionally isolated in information islands between the different departments in the mine or th

10. Field parametric geostatistics - An alternative to tackle gold grade estimations
Abstract High anomalous grades are very common in gold deposits, whose presence requires careful treatment to prevent overestimation of metal content. Mineral resource analysts have worked on the estimation of several gold deposits, and none of the classical methods were able to avoid manual interventions, such as cutting high grades for local estimation or

11. Favorability potential for IOCG type deposits in the Riacho do Pontal Belt: new insights for identifying prospects of IOCG-type deposits in NE Brazil
ABSTRACT: Archean iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits have been systematically described in the world class Carajás IOCG district, Amazonian region of Brazil. More recently, several Neoproterozoic (ca 1.13 to 0.96 Ga) IOCG deposits have been identified in the Riacho do Pontal mobile belt situated in the Borborema Province on the northern border of the S�

12. Contamination and Soil Biological Properties in the Serra Pelada Mine - Amazonia, Brazil
ABSTRACT Discovered in 1980 and unleashed an utter gold rush of the modern era, Serra Pelada was the largest open-air mine in Brazil. About 80,000 gold prospectors worked there until 1984, when the gold pits were flooded. The environmental impact caused by mining inflicted irreversible damage to the ecosystem, with the formation of a large lake and piles of
