1. Introduction
The Earth’s interior is one of the forefronts of Earth science, and the inner core, the center part of the Earth, has been a long-term research topic. The Earth’s inner core, which is approximately three-quarters the size of the Moon, is considered to be mostly iron. However, laboratory experiments and theoretical studies have shown that the density and sound velocities...
1.Introduction
This study presents a detailed chemical and mineralogical analysis of manganese ore from the Nsuta deposit in Ghana. We employed an integrated multi-technique approach to address gaps in the comprehensive characterisation of this strategic resource, particularly concerning valuable elements of economic value. Subsurface samples were prepared and separated into distinct...
Coltan ore is one of the “3 T” minerals, which contains technologically important metals, namely tantalum and niobium. Market demand for these metals is growing as technology evolves, making them critical to manufacturing industries. However, the mineral supply chains are required to be conflict free so that Manufacturers do not, although involuntarily, contribute to promote “blood minerals”....
