The stratigraphic and structural controls on copper-gold mineralization at Cassenha hill prospect, within the Archean to Paleoproterozoic Angolan shield, Congo craton, South Wester... by vaz Sidre, Stelvio

“…Techniques applied include borehole core logging, petrography, whole-rock geochemistry (XRF and ICP-MS), and stable isotope geochemistry on samples collected on the surface and from exploration boreholes drilled as part of RVR exploration program. Overall, the petrographic and geochemical studies undertaken in the rocks of the Cassenha Hill prospect indicate the following: (1) The rocks are moderately to strongly fractured; (2) The rocks have experienced weak to moderate chemical weathering; (3) The rocks are compositionally immature and originated from felsic provenance; (4) The rocks are sulfur-poor, and lacking in sulfide minerals (5) The rocks are enriched in LREE and LILE elements and depleted in HREE and HFSE elements; (6) The mineralization is associated with chloritization alteration and predominantly occurs within and/or at the edges of quartz/chlorite-rich veins/fractures and is not restricted to any rock type. …”

Optimization of multiple resources for multi-projects by Aboul Fotouh, Sarah

“…It calculates the cost of each resource, minimize the cost of extra resources as much as possible and generate the schedule of each project within a selected overall program. The model was verified by different scenarios; 1- optimization of multiple resources of a single project; 2- optimization of single resource of multiple projects; 3- optimization of multiple resources of two projects; 4- optimization of multiple resources of three projects meeting deadlines; 5- optimization of multiple resources of three projects but extending the deadlines. …”
