The purpose of these tests was to characterize the mineral suite found within the deposit economic rocks and determine the liberation sizes to direct later comminution studies.

Key Points: 
  • The purpose of these tests was to characterize the mineral suite found within the deposit economic rocks and determine the liberation sizes to direct later comminution studies.
  • Three investigative tools were undertaken to determine these values: optical and electron microscopy and whole rock assay using ICP.
  • The ICP information indicates a vanadinite content of 66% of the entire sample whereas the microscopy indicates 62.9% (including the loose materials).
  • Four levels of liberation occur in these minerals, as shown in Table 1.

What are meteorites? I visit and study the craters they've left across our planet

For the most part, the asteroids quietly orbit the Sun – but sometimes they collide with each other or the planets and their moons.

Key Points: 
  • For the most part, the asteroids quietly orbit the Sun – but sometimes they collide with each other or the planets and their moons.
  • Some planets are more pockmarked with craters than others: the Moon is covered with thousands but the Earth has only 200 confirmed meteorite craters.
  • Second, 70% of Earth is covered with water – we can only see craters on land.
  • Thus, studying impact craters can broaden our understanding of the Earth’s evolution and life, as well its possible future.

Studying impactites

    • It is the world’s oldest and largest known impact structure, dating back some 2 billion years and spanning between 180km and 300km in diameter.
    • That spot of collision is what’s known as an impact crater; the ground around and below it is full of rocks called impactites.
    • These cannot be found anywhere else: impactites are not formed by any natural processes, only by meteorite impacts.

Cutting-edge technology

    • A technology called transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is driving the latest research in this field.
    • It has been used for a few decades but, in recent years, there have been big improvements in its quality and precision.
    • This technology is opening the door to an entirely new world of impactite study.
