Spring 2023
This thesis sets out a workflow to quantify uncertainty of the Arrow Deposit, a tabular, vein type, high-grade, basement-hosted, uranium deposit located on NexGen Energy Limited’s 100%-owned Rook I property in northern Saskatchewan. The uncertainty associated with the volume, grade, and density...

Comparison of 2D and 3D uncertainty quantification in geostatistical modeling in stratigraphic formations
DownloadFall 2023
Under suitable geological conditions and depending on the modeling goals at the project’s current phase, a geological modeler could justifiably choose to estimate natural resource concentrations by building geostatistical models on a 2D grid rather than a 3D grid. While the application of these...

Development Of Shrub And Lichen-Dominated Biocrust Propagation And Establishment Techniques For Reclamation In Northern Environments
DownloadSpring 2022
Resource exploration and extraction in the arctic causes long lasting disturbances as natural recovery is a long and slow process in the north. With three Canadian diamond mines expected to close in the next fifteen years, many hectares of land will require revegetating. Research conducted in the...

Different quantities of information are available at various stages of the development of a mining project. Consequential decisions are made given the data available at the time. Geological uncertainty due to sparse data presents economic risks. The collection of additional information reduces...

Electric Rope Shovel Operation Enhancements, Understanding and Modelling the Impact of The Operator
DownloadSpring 2021
The loading and haulage system is considered a prominent part of a surface mine operation. Improving the system enhances the productivity and economics of an operation to a great extent. Operators play a critical role in the mine overall performance and production. Autonomous truck fleets have...

Learning in Social Action in Contexts of Mining Dispossession: A Critical Case Study of Roșia Montană, Romania
DownloadSpring 2021
Witiw, Taylor Kermit Christopher
Transnational corporations promise win-win development, but extractive projects often deliver dispossession, displacement, impoverishment, environmental degradation, and disrupt social relations in rural localities. These conditions can in turn engender contestation and resistance to...

Canada has approximately 50% of land mass covered with permafrost. With the increasing of mining and construction activities in permafrost regions, cement-based mixtures (e.g., concrete, shotcrete, backfill, and grout) are expected to be increasingly used in these regions. However, cold...

Blasting is widely used in mining operations as the primary comminution process to reduce the in-situ rock into fragmented material suitable for the subsequent transport and processing. The energy used is released from an explosive by detonation and transferred to the rock mass via a shock front...
