  • The Crystal Structure of Gillulyite, TI2(As,Sb)Ssm from the Mercur Gold Deposit, Tooele County, Utah, U.S.A

    American Mineralogist, Volume 80, pages 394-399, 1995 The crystal structure of gillulyite, TI2(As,Sb)sSm from the Mercur gold deposit, Tooele County, Utah, U.S.A. FRANKLIN F. FOIT, JR. Department of Geology, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164, U.S.A. PAUL D. ROBINSON Department of Geology, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois 62901, U.S.A. JAMES R. WILSON Department of Geology, Weber State University, Ogden, Utah 84408-2507, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Gillulyite, TI2(AsH ,SbH )8S13,is monoclinic with space group P2/n and a = 9.584(3), b = 5.679(2), c = 21.501(6) A, ~ = 100.07(2)°, V = 1152.2(7) A3, and Z = 2, The average structure was determined using direct methods and refined to a final residual of 0.046 using 930 reflections. The structure consists of TI-As-S- and As-S-bearing sheets, each present statistically 50% of the time. Four sheets, linked together by Tl-S, As-S, and S-S bonds, are stacked parallel to (00 I), yielding the 21-A c-axis repeat of the average unit cell. The Tll atom within the TI-As-S sheet is coordinated by six S nearest neighbors, which form a distorted trigonal prism. The partially occupied Tl2 position between the sheets is split symmetrically about the twofold axis with a separation of 1.28 A and equal but partial occupancies of25%. The disordering of the Tl2 position and extreme distortion of its coordination polyhedron is probably the result of the Tl+ 6s2lone pair effect. The mean bond distances for the AsS3pyramids range from 2.263 to 2.319 A.

URANINITE ALTERATION IN AN OXIDIZING ENVIRONMENT AND ITS RELEVANCE TO THE DISPOSAL OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL Robert Finch Rodney Ewing Department of Geology University of New Mexico Submitted to Svensk Kämbränslehantering AB (SKB) December 21,1990 ABSTRACT Uraninite is a natural analogue for spent nuclear fuel because of similarities in structure (both are fluorite structure types) and chemistry (both are nominally UOJ. Effective assessment of the long-term behavior of spent fuel in a geologic repository requires a knowledge of the corrosion products produced in that environment.

    Using 2D Gis to Assist 3D Modelling of the Zarshuran Gold Deposit, Iran

    Asadi, Hooshang USING 2D GIS TO ASSIST 3D MODELLING OF THE ZARSHURAN GOLD DEPOSIT, IRAN * Hooshang ASADI HARONI, Edmund SIDES, Kiiza NGONZI International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC), The Netherlands * Ministry of Higher Education, Tehran, Iran harouni @itc.nl [email protected] Technical Commission Session Themes TC VII-8 KEY WORDS: Spatial data, Integration, Geology, Geophysics, GIS, Data mining, Information extraction ABSTRACT The Zarshuran gold deposit in NW Iran is an area of historic mining for gold and arsenic with considerable potential for discovery of economic gold mineralisation. Geological, geochemical and geophysical data, collected by the Ministry of Mines and Metals were compiled and analysed in a 2-dimensional (2D) GIS. This resulted in the definition of major structural features, and lithological units, that control the gold mineralisation. Spatial modelling and interpretation of the geochemical and geophysical data showed that the mineralization is mainly controlled by chemically-reactive Precambrian carbonates and black shales, extending in a NW-SE direction, and also by NE-SW high angle faults and their intersections with NW-SE structures. The results obtained, from the 2D GIS analysis, were used in the initial phase of the construction and validation of the 3-dimensional (3D) models used for resource estimation. Comparison of the statistical analyses of geochemical data in soils and in drillcore indicated enhanced concentrations of gold in soils at surface, due to residual enrichment. An enrichment relationship was established based on interpretation of the cumulative frequency plots for gold in soil and drillcore samples. Based on this relationship the gold anomalies interpreted from the soil geochemical data were used to infer a resource potential, to a depth of 200m below surface, of 10Mt at an average grade of 0.2 g/t gold.

The same as ajkite (Bull. Soc. Min. France, 1878, vol. 1, p. 126 ; abstract from... ?). A fossil resin containing 1-5 ~ sulphur and no succinic acid, from Ajka, com. Veszpr~m, Hungary.

Niggli, Lehrbuch Min., 1926, vol. 2, p. 536 (Albiklas). A contrac- tion of albite-oligoclase for felspars of the plagioclase series ranging in composition from Ab~Anlo to AbsoAn~o. Allite. tL Harrassowitz, 1926. Laterit, Material und Versuch erdgesehichtlicher Auswertung, Berlin 1926, p. 255 (Allit, plur. Allite). A rock-name to include both bauxite and laterite. Later (Metall und Erz, Halle, ]927, vol. 24, p. 589) bauxite with A1208. H~O is distinguished as monohydrallite (Monohydrallit) and laterite with Al~0s.3H20 as trihydrallite (Trihydrallit). These, although suggestive of mineral- names (and given so i~ error in Chem. Zentr., 1926, vol. 1, p. 671), are proposed as rock-names ; from aluminium and M~o~. Similarly, siallites (1926, p. 252, Siallit, from Si, A1, M0o~), to include kaolinite and allo- phanite, are rocks composed of the aluminium silicates kaolin and allophane.
