Steere Geologist Norman Peterson, Field Geologist ******************************************* OREGON'S MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1959 By Ralph S. Mason* Oregon's mineral industries chalked up a remarkable record of productive growth in the decade just ended, with an 84 percent increase in dollar value of raw mineral products produced. Oregon stood head-frame high over all the neighboring states in this respect. Washington in­ creased 27 percent, California 36 percent, Nevada 36 percent, and Idaho declined 15 percent. Preliminary estimates by the U.S. Bureau of Mines for the State's value of minerals produced during 1959 show a total of $39,600,000, a decline of 12 percent from the previous year. The U. S. Bureau of Mines reports only on the raw minerals produced, and the values given are usually cost-of-production figures rather than val ue at point of sale. '·he difference between the two would amount to about 100 percent. Not included in the above figures, but of large and rapidly growing importance to the stabilization of the State's economy are the 17 metallurgical plants shown on the accompanying index map. Seven of these plants were constructed during the past ten years and many of the others have substantially increased their capacity in this same period. Some of these plants beneficiate ores mined within the State (mercury, nickel, uranium); others treat raw or semi­ refined ores imported from outside the State (zirconium, titanium, hafnium, columbium, tantalum, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, silicon, aluminum). The economic importance of this second group of plants is considerable. A recent article in Mining Congress Journal painted out that in the nonferrous industry 3 percent of the eventual cost of fabricated meta~ products is expended in mining, 13 percent in the production of primary metal, and 84 percent in fabrication. The growth of the electro-process industry in Oregon will continue and should be encouraged. The State needs more year-around II unseasonal" industries employing large numbers of ski lied workers. During the past decade there was a 127 percent increase in steel-making capacity in the State, aluminum smelting capacity increased 59 percent, cement about 50 percent, and the pro­ duction of sand and gravel 38 percent. The year 1959 saw still more proposed withdrawals of public domain lands by Federal agencies. A total of 21,209 acres in 13 different counties is involved in 12 areas. The U.S. Forest Service requested 7 of the withdrawals. * Mining Engineer, State of Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. - 2 STATE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL INDUSTRIES vol. 22 no. 1 Electro-Process Products In ten short years, Oregon's industries based on the use of electric energy for melting and reducing metals have almost doubled in number and have increased many times in volume and variety of products. The reduction and semi-finishing of an array of metals unknown to industry a decade ago is standard practice today in the State. The metallurgical plants at Albany are good examples of this trend - and the posi-. tive benefits that can be derived from basic Some of Oregon's Minerals at a Glance research.

LANGLIE, GOVERNOR Department of Conservation and Development JOHN BROOKE FINK, Director THIRD BIENNIAL REPORT of the DIVISION OF MINES AND MINING For the Period Commencing January 1, 1939 and Ending January 1, 1941 By THOMAS B. HILL, SUPERVISOR J . w. MELROSE, GEOLOGIST OLYMPIA STATE PRI NTINC PLANT DIVISION OF MINES AND MINING Hon. John Brooke Fink, Director, Department of Conservation and Development, Olympia, Washington. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the third biennial report of the Division of Mines and Mining, covering the period from January l, 1939, to January 1, 1941. Respectfully, THOMAS B. HILL, Supervisor. DIVISION OF MINES AND MINING THOMAS B. HILL Supervisor SUMMARY OF MINERAL INFORMATION The present widespread interest in the mineral resources of Washington had its beginning in 1933 when the Director of the Department of Conserva­ tion and Devlopment devoted a substantial part of an allocation of $80,000 from Washington Emergency Relief Administration to mineral investigations. Two years later, the Division of Mines and Mining was created, and has continued the investigations, the work of compiling information and promoting the development of the mineral resources. Extensive information had been developed on the mineral resources of the State in the previous twenty-five years, largely through the Washington Geological Survey and the Division of Geology. This information had been published in some 50 or more bulletins and 1·eports, about half of which are now out of print. The information, while extensive, was scattered and in many instances fragmentary. The result of the work begun by the Department in 1933, and continued by this Division since 1935, is that now information is available on all the known mineral occurrences of the State.

The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands. Executive Summary Introduction This draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) evaluates creating and maintaining a system of roadside fuel breaks to improve suppression coordination and response across the Tri-state area where southeastern Oregon, southwestern Idaho, and northern Nevada converge. This area contains the largest expanse of intact sagebrush steppe in North America, an ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife and is critically imperiled by the threat of wildland fire. The project area encompasses 3.6 million acres across the southeastern corner of Oregon and southwestern corner of Idaho. The proposed fuel breaks would connect to existing fuel breaks within northern Nevada to improve firefighting coordination across jurisdictional and state boundaries and better protect this threatened landscape. Purpose and Need The purpose of the action alternatives is to provide a network of safe areas and strategic opportunities to enable wildland fire suppression resources in the Tri-state area to more rapidly and effectively protect natural and cultural resources and socioeconomic values from wildfires.

  • Assessment of Acid and Metalliferous Drainage – Greenbushes Lithium
    Appendix C – Assessment of Acid and Metalliferous Drainage – Greenbushes Lithium Mine Expansion – 2018 Mining Proposal (GHD 2018) and Talison Leaching Study – Stage 2 AMD Testing Results (GHD 2019) GHD | Report for Talison Lithium Australia Pty Ltd – Greenbushes Mine Expansion – Works Approval 1, 6136944 TALISON LITHIUM Talison Lithium Australia Pty Ltd Assessment of acid and metalliferous drainage Greenbushes Lithium Mine Expansion - 2018 Mining Proposal July 2018 WATER | ENERGY & RESOURCES | ENVIRONMENT | PROPERTY & BUILDINGS | TRANSPORTATION Executive summary GHD was engaged by Talison Lithium Australia Pty Ltd to undertake an Acid and Metalliferous Drainage assessment (AMD), to demonstrate the leaching potential of the future tailings and waste rock due to the proposed expansion of the mine - the Greenbushes Lithium Mine, located at Greenbushes Western Australia. The scope of works for this AMD study included the collation and geo-statistical analysis of Talison’s mineralogical assay data base - for the proposed waste rock and ore, and a review of the body of information relating to previous AMD assessments of the previously mined waste rock and existing tailings facilities. Given the continuity of mineralogy between the previously mined material and the proposed mined material (waste rock and ore), the findings of previous AMD assessments, relating to the existing waste rock and tailings facilities, are considered reliable indicators of the future AMD risk. This report is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, the limitations set out in Section 1.3 and the assumptions and qualifications contained throughout the Report. Acidic drainage risk The risk that the tailings (derived from ore processing) will produce adverse quantities of acid is considered low, given the low sulphur content (average 0.04%).

  • Estimation of Capital Costs for Establishing Coal Mines in South Africa
    ESTIMATION OF CAPITAL COSTS FOR ESTABLISHING COAL MINES IN SOUTH AFRICA Moshe Mohutsiwa A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Johannesburg, 2015 DECLARATION I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is being submitted to the degree of Master of Science to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. (Signature of Candidate) day of year ii ABSTRACT Coal is one of the most abundant mineral resources in South Africa and it is predominantly used in electricity generation in the country. Of all the mineral resources in South Africa, development of coal resources attracted most of the financial investment between 2010 and 2013. Development of mining projects requires estimation of capital and operating costs in the early stages of the project’s life. Estimation of costs is an essential exercise that assists on deciding the future of mining projects. Despite all the investment in the South African coal mining sector, there is still little consistency in unit capital costs invested/required to develop coal mining projects. Lack of research within the area of coal mining projects’ costs is attributable to a lack of publicly available information. Research in this area will enable investors and operators in the coal mining sector to be able to assess financial viability early in the project life. This study reviewed coal mining projects across the world, looking at publicly available capital costs. The study further recognised similarities between the South African and Indian coal mining sectors thereby enabling the research to leverage data from the Indian coal mining sector to estimate capital costs in South Africa.

PRiNTiNG PLANT 1955 For sale by Department of Conservation and Development, Olympia, Washington. Price, one dollar. FOREWORD Gold, throughout the ages, has been synonymous with wealth. For thousands of years, it has been the foremost medium of ex­ change in most countries. Everyone is familiar with gold and with the romance associated with its recovery from occurrences in nature. In fact, it is probable that gold is the first, and to many the only, metal thought of when mining is mentioned. Certainly, it is the metal first thought of under ordinary conditions when a person decides to become a prospector and seek bis fortune on the streams and in the mountains. This is easily understood, for, of all metals, gold is the most simply and easily recovered from its containing formation, whether it occurs as a lode or as a placer deposit. A minimum of experience and equipment is required, and. when won, gold is tangible wealth, requiring little or no treatment to be ex­ changeable for goods. The interest in gold shown by the larger mining concerns has declined in late years because its fixed price does not compensate for the continually increasing costs of mining-in labor.
