Thiosulfate leaching in carbonaceous gold-bearing ores in Ethiopia.

One of the main unit operations in metallurgical processing plant designs is gold leaching. The traditional cyanidation process was chosen and is currently in widespread use. However, the mining sector is looking for lixiviants other than cyanide.

Petrographic, mineralogical, morphological and organic constraints of the Permian shaly-coal in the Tuli Basin of Limpopo-Area Karoo-Aged basin, South Africa: Implication for potential gas generation.

The transition to a low-carbon energy source from coal has become imperative to mitigating the escalating climate change crisis. This study aims to investigate the organic-rich shale core samples of the Limpopo-Area Karoo Basin, retrieved from the borehole at depth 480-580 m. These samples were subjected to petrographic, mineralogical, morphological, and kerogen-type analysis to investigate potentials for shale gas generation.
