Book excerpt: Mineral-rich-post-independent African countries rely on their extractive industries for economic growth and development. The extraction of these resources generates more curses than blessings raising questions whether the sector provides an appropriate vehicle for economic growth. To balance the growing gap between the curses and blessings, regional policy makers and international counterparts have engaged in large-scale reforms of the mining sector. This has led to establishment of spaces of exclusion and further marginalization as new actors introduced into the sector interact one with the other to pursue and protect their interests. The gap between the curses and blessings of mining continues to widen, largely as an outcome of institutional and actor interaction within a politicized environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the local and regional impact of large-scale gold mining in Africa in the context of a mineral boom in the region since 2000. It contributes to filling a gap in the literature on the welfare effects of mineral resources, which, until now, has concentrated more on the national or macroeconomic impacts. Economists have long been intrigued by the paradox that a rich endowment of natural resources may retard economic performance, particularly in the case of mineral-exporting developing countries. Studies of this phenomenon, known as the “resource curse,†? examine the economy-wide consequences of mineral exports.1 Africa’s resource boom has lifted growth, but has been less successful in improving people’s welfare. Yet much of the focus in academic and policy circles has been on appropriate management of the macro-fiscal and governance risks that have historically undermined development outcomes. This study focuses instead on the fortune of local communities where resources are located. It aims to better inform public policy and corporate behavior on the welfare of communities in Africa in which the extraction of resources takes place.
Download or read book Suriname Revisited Economic Potential of its Mineral Resources written by Marco Keersemaker and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the exploration history and provides a framework for assessing the economic potential of the country’s minerals by defining minimal deposit parameters for the various commodities present. Suriname was explored extensively for mineral occurrences in the course of the previous century, indicating the presence of a range of commodities. The country mined and processed bauxite for a century (until 2016), and has an even longer history of small-scale alluvial gold mining; it is currently home to two major gold producers. However, exploration activities have been limited during the past 4 decades as most parts of Suriname’s interior are difficult to access, making geological fieldwork both difficult and expensive. Further, the markets and prices have changed in the interim, which calls for a fresh look at the historic data.

Download or read book The Metallogeny of Lode Gold Deposits written by Ulrich Kretschmar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metallogeny of Lode Gold Deposits: A Syngenetic Perspective is a synthesis of lode gold vein forming processes, addressing the commonality in similar worldwide deposits. The book’s empirical model incorporates widely known and accepted principles of ore deposition and shows how it applies in the volcanic-sedimentary greenstone belt environment. Several chapters detail outcrop maps and photos of field occurrences and textures. The interpretations flow directly from the authors’ field work, and are coupled with analyses of underlying physical processes. Utilizing detailed geological mapping, field work, and chemical analyses as the basis of a syngenetic formation mode, the text arms readers with the tools necessary to accurately analyze and interpret new data on the subject. This includes information on decoding the significance of asymmetry in vein formation, as well as the role of lamprophyres in gold camps, how Archean geology requires integration into a lode vein formation model, and how to develop an understanding of the worldwide applicability of gold cycles to lode vein formation and exploration and how it can be applied to deposits of all ages. Presents the first book to galvanize lode gold research into a single authoritative reference Simplifies the complexity of lode gold’s underlying processes and presents valid concepts surrounding the lode gold forming environment Features color figures, illustrations, and photos that enrich the content’s focus and aid in the retention of key concepts

Download or read book The Nature and Origin of Gold Mineralization at Damang Mine Ghana written by Alistair J. R White and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palaeoproterozoic Birimian terrane of the West African Man Shield is a gold province of global importance. Gold mineralization at the Damang deposit, however, is unique amongst known gold deposits in Ghana. It comprises a stratigraphically controlled auriferous quartz-pebble conglomerate, which is overprinted by later orogenic gold contained in a sub-horizontal fault-fracture quartz vein array. Furthermore, this gold mineralization is hosted in sediments of the Tarkwaian System, rather than volcanics of the underlying Birimian Supergroup. This thesis integrates petrological, geochemical, thermodynamic and geochronological data to investigate the Damang deposit in the context of the regional tectonic and metallogenic framework. Staurolite-grade, amphibolite facies peak metamorphism at Damang occurred at around 595oC and 5.5 kbar at 2005±26 Ma. This was immediately followed by a short period (~ 5 Ma) of rapid exhumation, at a rate of approximately 2.6 mm/yr. This decompression led to the formation of the fault-fracture mesh, which was enhanced by the silicification of host rocks during an earlier 'Pink Haematite' hydrothermal event that was associated with the intrusion of voluminous dolerite bodies. Orogenic gold mineralization occurred at the end of this exhumation period at conditions of 400-450oC and 1-2 kbar. These conditions are in broad agreement with other Ghanaian deposits. A gold-bearing, CO2-rich (X(CO2) ~ 0.7), aqueous fluid generated through metamorphic devolatilization reactions close to peak metamorphism and during the subsequent exhumation fed the fault-fracture mesh. This fluid imparted a potassic-carbonation-sulphidation alteration overprint similar to that seen at orogenic gold deposits globally. This alteration signature is characterized and identified with portable infrared spectroscopic techniques. Exhumation rates following gold mineralization were less than 0.01 mm/yr, while 40Ar/39Ar dating of biotites give ages ranging between 1978.8±6.2 Ma and 1898±11 Ma, indicating extremely prolonged (~ 80 Ma) cooling through the interval 300-250oC. Ultimately, this thesis demonstrates that the Damang deposit is part of the same regional metallogenic event that formed the other Ghanaian deposits. This implies that the Tarkwaian System elsewhere in Ghana may be prospective for orogenic gold mineralization.
