The Cu-Ag deposit exploited in the Lubin-G?og?w Copper district (LGCD) in Poland is located in the Permian Rotliegend (sandstones) and Zechstein (shale and carbonate rocks) formations. The three main lithological series are not internally homogenous; within them, a total of 16 individual lithological units can be determined. The differentiation between lithological, mineralogical and geometallurgical ore properties is a criterion used to distinguish between main and individual lithologies in the deposit area. A sy...

The paper is aimed at estimating the abundance of polymetallic nodules in the Pacific area is administered by the Interoceanmetal Joint Organization (IOM) using statistical and geostatistical methods. Polymetallic nodules occurring in the Clarion-Clipperton zone in the Eastern Pacific Ocean contain numerous metals, of which the most important are Co, Cu, Ni, and Mn. In the area administered by the IOM, the four genotypes of nodules are marked with the following symbols: D and D1 (diagenetic), H (hydrogenic), and H...

The efficient use of both the main and accompanying minerals is one of the fundamental problems of rational mineral resources management. The article presents the problems related to the documentation of limestone, one of the accompanying minerals in the Be?chat?w lignite deposit (central Poland) used for the production of SO2 sorbents and desulfurization in the Be?chat?w conventional power plant, which is located in the immediate proximity of the deposit. Both lignite resources and the annual production (over 42 ...

The main objective of the article was to assess the impact of the selected interpolation algorithm on the accuracy of parameter value estimation. The following interpolation methods were used: inverse distance to a power (ID), linear kriging (LK), ordinary kriging (OK), and more advanced geostatistical methods including Lognormal Kriging (LG) and Turning Bands Simulation (TBS). The contents of copper and lead were determined for the economic series of a part of the LGCD (the Lubin-G?og?w Copper District, Poland). ...
