An assessment of the quantum for financial provision of mine closures: a Monte Carlo approach.
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.Poor mine closure policy threatens both society and the environment. Some of the more prominent threats that have manifested are acid mine drainage, slimes dams and toxic dust from dumps. Current legislation requires that new mines set aside funds to cover their rehabilitation costs at closure
Scholars\u27 Mine Reaches 3 Million Downloads
No full textOn 12 May 2019 Scholars\u27 Mine reached an important milestone: three million downloads. Since December 2014, when Scholars’ Mine went live following a major refresh of a system first created in 2007, researchers and other users have downloaded material including theses and dissertations, faculty publications, conference proceedings and more.
Two popular downloads highlight the variety of information in Scholars\u27 Mine:1. Case Study and Analysis of a Low Cost Housing Project in an Urban Area in India from the 1970 International Symposium on Low Cost Housing Problems Related to Urban Renewal and Development, held in Rolla, Missouri. This paper has been downloaded over 8,000 times since it was posted in August 2017, and2. An Analysis of the Environmental Impact of Electric Vehicles, published in Peer to Peer, a Missouri S&T undergraduate journal. Also posted in August 2017, this article has been downloaded more than 6,600 times.
Scholars\u27 Mine also provides a permanent online presence for the INSPIRE-University Transportation Center, enabling the sharing of INSPIRE faculty research, newsletters, webinars and progress and performance reports in an open access environment.
Another important aspect of Scholars’ Mine is the SelectedWorks Author Gallery which showcases S&T’s faculty and their research.

Scholars\u27 Mine Reaches 4 Million Downloads
No full textOn 09 Apr 2020 Scholars\u27 Mine reached a new milestone: four million downloads. The latest million downloads took place in less than 11 months. Researchers and other users have downloaded material including theses and dissertations, faculty publications, conference proceedings, research data and more.
The 4 millionth download was by a user in Yongzhou, Hunan, China: Liquefaction of the Alluvial Soils of Bangladesh. This presentation is from International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics, one of the most popular collections in Scholars\u27 Mine.
The two popular publications highlighted last year continue to have large downloads: 1. Case Study and Analysis of a Low Cost Housing Project in an Urban Area in India from the 1970 International Symposium on Low Cost Housing Problems Related to Urban Renewal and Development, held in Rolla, Missouri. This paper was downloaded over 6,700 times in the past 11 months, for a total of over 14,700 downloads 2. An Analysis of the Environmental Impact of Electric Vehicles, published in Peer to Peer, a Missouri S&T undergraduate journal. This article has been downloaded an additional 5,600 times, totaling over 12,000 downloads.
To aid searching and browsing of the repository, we redesigned the repository giving it a more user friendly interface. The Miner newspaper is a new addition to Scholars’ Mine; issues from 1915 to 1938 have been added, with more coming soon.
Scholars\u27 Mine also provides a permanent online presence for many of Missouri S&T’s Centers and Labs including INSPIRE-University Transportation Center, the Intelligence Systems Center, the Peaslee Steel Manufacturing Research Center and the Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Lab. Faculty research, newsletters, webinars, PPPRs and more are shared in an open access environment.
The SelectedWorks Author Gallery showcases S&T’s faculty and their research as well as their honors and awards, memberships and more.
Especially in this environment of COVID-19 when much of the world is practicing social distancing, we are glad that Scholars\u27 Mine can provide open access to many resources. We are looking forward to our next million downloads. Thank you all

Offsetting of CO₂ emissions by air capture in mine tailings at the Mount Keith Nickel Mine, Western Australia: Rates, controls and prospects for carbon neutral mining
No full textThe hydrated Mg-carbonate mineral, hydromagnesite [Mg₅(CO₃)₄(OH)₂•4H₂O], precipitates within mine tailings at the Mount Keith Nickel Mine, Western Australia as a direct result of mining operations. We have used quantitative mineralogical data and δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O and F¹⁴C isotopic data to quantify the amount of CO₂fixation and identify carbon sources. Our radiocarbon results indicate that at least 80% of carbon stored in hydromagnesite has been captured from the modern atmosphere. Stable isotopic results indicate that dissolution of atmospheric CO₂ into mine tailings water is kinetically limited, which suggests that the current rate of carbon mineralization could be accelerated. Reactive transport modeling is used to describe the observed variation in tailings mineralogy and to estimate rates of CO₂ fixation. Based on our assessment, approximately 39,800 t/yr of atmospheric CO₂ are being trapped and stored in tailings at Mount Keith. This represents an offsetting of approximately 11% of the mine's annual greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, passive sequestration via enhanced weathering of mineral waste can capture and store a significant amount of CO₂. Recommendations are made for changes to tailings management and ore processing practices that have potential to accelerate carbonation of tailings and further reduce or completely offset the net greenhouse gas emissions at Mount Keith and many other mines
