Because of their low grades in critical metals such as Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) or
Sn, rare-metal granites are not considered as economic for metal recovery but, when …

This paper, which is the second in a series of three, follows a previous study that showed
that Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE), hosted in monazite and rare-metals (Sn, Nb, W) …

Variogram analysis is effective in revealing the spatial distribution patterns of geographic
variable (s). Yet, existing variograms mostly focus on the impact of spatial correlation on the …

Due to the rising pressure from governmental regulations, the water recycling rate has
increased significantly in mining operations over the last decades, resulting in a high …

Whereas a classical tool from the Theory of Sampling (TOS), variographic analysis, can
address practical situations with multiple variables, its application has very often been …
