Mineral exploration

TITLE Something something something. In his letter, John Roberts, a blacksmith, attempts to be rehired as he believes he was fired for unjust reasons. He makes a strong claim to pathos in an attempt to persuade Storrs, a man in a position of power, to override Roberts’ boss’s decision to fire him. In another letter, Lendrum writes a letter of recommendation for Williams, a mining engineer, to Storrs. While both letters to Storrs are for the same purpose, Robert’s letter is far more effective. In his letter, Roberts uses his personal experience to appeal to ethos. He states he is the oldest blacksmith at the company, and should not be fired because such. Roberts subtlety claims his seniority over the man hired to replace him who has far less experience. This method makes a strong point and is effective. On the other hand, in Lendrum’s letter to Storrs, Lendrum’s appeal to ethos is he has known Williams for twenty-five years. While it may appear to be effective at first glance, While it may appear to be effective at first glance, Storrs, or the reader for that matter, is not aware if Lendrum has known Williams as a friend or a superior. Storrs may take it that Lendrum is close with Williams and is writing the letter out of obligation so his friend may be hired. This makes his point less effective. In Lendrum’s letter to Storrs, he claims Williams is the “master of the valley for mining engineering.” However further examination of the letter shows that Lendrum exaggerated…

Australia is one of the richest countries in the world. They are rich with amazing people who are very talented yet stays humble. They are rich with a lot of trees that help the environment. They are also rich with minerals that are very helpful for their economy. Australia is very rich with different kinds of minerals and petroleum such as the coal, diamond, gold, iron and a whole lot more. These mines are accessible to people with the use of heavy equipments and with the help of mining…

Isa orebody. When the oxidation was completed, the depth of the oxidized zone was around 50m from the ground surface (Forrestal, 1990). Cerussite was found as the dominant mineral while zinc was mostly exhausted. The orebodies’ bedded nature remained the same within the oxidized zone but the rocks are filtrated outside the oxidized zone. In addition, this oxidized ore were generally used for ancient production of mining a long time ago. But nowadays, this oxidized ore would only be used for…

extraction of ore, valuable minerals or other geological resources such as gold, silver, diamond, iron, coal and uranium from mines. Because the process of extraction requires a large amount of capital, mining business is normally done by the government, multinational companies or wealthy business owners. All the resources that need to be extracted are non-renewable as these materials cannot be artificially created nor grown through agricultural process. So, this is the reason why minerals need…

This physical environment has precluded any exploration beyond about 150 feet from the entrance. Thus, the true dimensions of this unbelievable cave, now known as the Crystal Cave, have yet to be determined” (Sabagun, 2001). Some damage was made when they found it because of intruders and even miners trying to remove megacrystals from the excavation (Crystal, 2011). Giantcrystals states that there are many horror stories of humans trying to steal crystals from it. There is one story of a mine…

Initially, the most striking feature of Eroded Rock, Point Lobos, a gelatin silver print by Edward Weston, is its relationship between positive and negative space. The photo’s subject is an eroded rock, whose rough, raised plateaus create a light positive space and emerge from smooth, blackened sections of the eroded rock which create the image’s negative space. These sections of eroded rock envelop the plateaus in languid serpentine lines, almost as though the plateaus are land masses cast…

1. Observation. - Compound X is a white powder. It is a solid. 2. Questions. - What is compound X? - What will happen when compound X is heated and reacted with C20H14O4 (phenolphthalein – an acid-base indicator)? (1) - How does compound X react with C20H14O4 (phenolphthalein)? (2) - How does compound X react with water? (3) - How does compound X react with hydro chloric acid (HCL)? (4) 3. Predictions. - Compound X is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). - (1) When compound X is heated and reacted with…

Particle size plays an important role in evaluating the quality and performance of a mineral processing plant (Horiba 2014, 1). It also influences many of the properties of a particulate such as its reaction rate with some reagents. Particle size analysis is significant in determining the quality of ore grind and in establishing the degree of liberation of the valuable materials from the gangue (Haldar 2013, 227). This is done by mineral processing plants to ensure that the desired particle size…

These two passages,“ There’s Still Gold in Those Hills” and “Letter From a Gold Miner” help the reader understand the history and process of Gold mining in the United States. Both passages give detailed information. They give specific instructions.They also give interesting background about Gold mining. These passages also give detail for different points of views. In the passage,“There’s Still Gold in Those Hills” it explains how gold mining works and the step to gold mine. For example…

A small western town, Libby Montana is known as the land of shiny mountains, originating from loggers and fur traders. Amongst the mountains is a 25-26 million year old volcano that was discovered to be a source of ore. Strip mines soon developed around 1923, providing well paying jobs for the citizens of the sleepy town. Zonolite merged with W.R. Grace and Company, becoming the the biggest employer of the towns men who pride themselves on being hard working and family oriented. These men worked…
