  • A History of Tailings1
    A HISTORY OF MINERAL CONCENTRATION: A HISTORY OF TAILINGS1 by Timothy c. Richmond2 Abstract: The extraction of mineral values from the earth for beneficial use has been a human activity- since long before recorded history. Methodologies were little changed until the late 19th century. The nearly simultaneous developments of a method to produce steel of a uniform carbon content and the means to generate electrical power gave man the ability to process huge volumes of ores of ever decreasing purity. The tailings or waste products of mineral processing were traditionally discharged into adjacent streams, lakes, the sea or in piles on dry land. Their confinement apparently began in the early 20th century as a means for possible future mineral recovery, for the recycling of water in arid regions and/or in response to growing concerns for water pollution control. Additional Key Words: Mineral Beneficiation " ... for since Nature usually creates metals in an impure state, mixed with earth, stones, and solidified juices, it is necessary to separate most of these impurities from the ores as far as can be, and therefore I will now describe the methods by which the ores are sorted, broken with hammers, burnt, crushed with stamps, ground into powder, sifted, washed ..•.

  • Mountain City, Ruby Mountains, and Jarbidge Combined Travel
    Mountain City, Ruby Mountains and Jarbidge Ranger Districts Combined Travel Management Project Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3. Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences 3.1. Introduction This chapter summarizes the physical, biological, social, and economic environments that are affected by the alternatives and the effects on that environment that would result from implementation of any of the alternatives. This chapter also presents the scientif ic and analyt ical basis for comparison of the alternatives presented in chapter 2. 3.1.1. Analysis Process Most of the data used in the following analysis are from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest corporate GIS layers. There is a certain amount of error in the location and alignments included in this GIS data. For example, the road layer overlying the stream layer may show more stream crossings than actually exist on the ground because of the different sources from which the different layers were obtained. Some perennial streams may show up on the map as being intermittent. This may also create some inaccuracies as to the exact location and extent of riparian zones. The Forest is constantly working to improve map accuracies and the corporate GIS layers. For the purposes of this analysis, the best data that is available was used. The data in the tables below and in the project record depict with a reasonable amount of accuracy what would be occurring on the ground for each alternative, within the limitations described above. The changes between alternatives remain relative to each other. 3.1.2. Cumulative Effects According to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) National Environmental Protection Ac t (NEPA) regulations, “cumulative impact” is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (federal or non-federal) or person undertakes such actions (40 CFR 1508.7).

  • MINING in BAKER COUNTY, 1861 to 1959* by Norman S
    Vol.21, No.3 THE ORE.- BIN 21 March 1959 Portland, Oregon STATE OF OREGON DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL INDUSTRIES Head Office: 1069 State Office Bldg., Portland I, Oregon Telephone: CApitol 6-2161, Ext. 488 Field Offices 2033 First Street 239 S. E. "H"Street Baker Grants Pass *************************** MINING IN BAKER COUNTY, 1861 to 1959* By Norman S. Wagner** Introduction Baker County mining began with the discovery of gold in 'Griffin Gulch in 1861. This and the develop­ ment which followed at Auburn represent gold mining at its historic best. Since 1861, much water has flowed down the sluice boxes with respect to mineral resource development within the county. As a result, the dis­ covery story is left for historians to tell, and the following paragraphs are devoted to the high points of the many kinds of mining endeavors that occurred in Baker County between 1861 and 1959. Hydraulic and sluicing operations All of the earlier placer operations have one thing in common with Griffin Gulch and Auburn. This is that they were carried out by means of ground sluicing and hydraul icking, using generous amounts of hand labor. These means of handl ing placer ground continued in exclusive use throughout the first forty years of Baker County mining history. It wasn't until the present century that the more familiar bucket-line dredges and other kinds of mechanized digging and washing plants made their appearance. Even yet the old methods are still employed on a small scale in circumstances where ground conditions permit. The Rye Valley placers on Dixie Creek represent a notable example of an early discovery made shortly after 1862.

  • Mining, Geology, and Geological History of Garnet at the Barton Garnet Mine, Gore Mountain, New York William Kelly
    6: RARE EARTH ELEMENT AND YTTRIUM MINERAL OCCURENCES IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS 7 MINING, GEOLOGY, AND GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF GARNET AT THE BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MOUNTAIN, NEW YORK WILLIAM KELLY New York State Geologist, Emeritus, Division of Research and Collections, New York State Museum, Albany, NY 12230, [email protected] KEYWORDS: Garnet, Mining, Gore Mountain, Metamorphism, Lyon Mountain Granite ABSTRACT Garnet megacrysts commonly 30 centimters (cm) ranging up to 1 meter (m) in diameter occur at the summit of Gore Mountain, Adirondacks, NY and were mined there for abrasives for more than a century. The mine, owned by Barton Mines Co., LLC, is roughly 2 km x 150 m and is located in a hornblende-rich garnet amphibolite at the southern boundary of a metamorphosed olivine gabbro body that is in fault contact with charnockite. Barton supplies garnet, a chemically homogeneous pyrope-almandine, to the waterjet cutting, lapping, and abrasive coatings industries. The garnet megacrysts are reliably dated at 1049 ± 5 Ma. The growth of the garnet megacrysts was facilitated by an influx of hydrothermal fluid emanating from the ore body’s southern boundary fault. The fluids were most probably associated with the intrusion of the Lyon Mountain Granite (1049.9 ± 10 Ma) and/or associated pegmatitic rocks late in the tectonic history of the Adirondacks. INTRODUCTION The Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York are a small outlier of a larger body of rocks of similar age and geologic history that is located to the north in Canada. The Adirondack region can be loosely divided into amphibolite metamorphic facies Lowlands, in the northwest, and the granulite facies Central Highlands, which are 86 THE ADIRONDACK JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES VOLUME 21 87 7: MINING, GEOLOGY, AND GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF GARNET AT THE BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MOUNTAIN, NEW YORK separated by a very large, northwest-dipping fault zone.
