The mineralogy and related geology of the Albert Silver Mine, Bronkhorstspruit, Transvaal
(1970)The Albert Silver mine is situated on the farm Roodepoortjie, 32 kilometres north of Brorikhorstspruit in the Transvaal. The deposit forms the largest of a number of sub-parallel quartzhematite lodes accompanied by sulphide ... -
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Molteno formation in the Elliot and Indwe area, Cape Province.
(1981)Abstract in PDF file. -
The lithostratigraphy and petrogenesis of the Nsuze group northwest of Nkandla, Natal.
(1984)The volcanic and sedimentary Nsuze Group constitutes the lower part of the -
The petrology, geochemistry and classification of the Bien Venue massive sulphide deposit, Barberton mountain land.
(1990)The Bien Venue massive sulphide deposit is associated with a felsic volcanic succession developed in the north-eastern part of the Barberton Greenstone Belt, Eastern Transvaal. The deposit is situated 8km east-north-east ... -
Zinc-lead mineralization at Pering Mine in the Griqualand West sub-basin : an isotopic study.
(1992)Detailed studies, both chemical and physical, have been performed on various dolomites and vug-filling carbonates, to determine the pathways and extent of the mineralizing fluids associated with the Pering Zn-Pb deposit ... -
Richards Bay zircon.
(1992)Zircon from the zircon concentrate of Richards Bay Minerals was investigated with a view to understanding the morphology and provenance. The obsevations were applied to the reduction of uranium, thorium and other trace ... -
The petrology and geochemistry of the karoo sequence basaltic rocks in the Natal Drakensberg at Sani Pass.
(1992)The Sani Pass in the Natal Drakensberg is situated in the north-eastern sector of the Lesotho Highlands which forms a major Karoo-age basaltic massif in the Karoo Igneous Province. The volcanic section exposed in the ... -
A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the St Lucia Estuary mouth.
(1993)The reduced fresh water input into the St Lucia Estuary combined with the increase of sediment in the St Lucia Lake System has necessitated the implementation of a dredging programme. To ensure the effectiveness of the ... -
The geology and geochemistry of the volcanic rocks of the Pongola sequence in southern Swaziland.
(1993)The ~3.0 Ga Pongola Sequence, comprising a lower dominantly volcanic Nsuze Group and an upper largely sedimentary Mozaan Group, crops out in the Mahlangatsha and Kubuta areas of southern Swaziland. The Nsuze Group consists ... -
Assessment of the permeability of Vryheid formation sediments.
(1994)Permeability is that physical property of a porous medium that controls the flow of fluids through that medium. The flow of methane and water may be induced by the excavation of a mine opening in methane-bearing strata. ... -
The petrology and geochemistry of the Merensky reef in the Rustenburg area.
(1994)Four Merensky reef underground exposures of different reef thickness, representative of the lithological variations exposed in mining, have been drilled and mapped. The relationship of the Merensky reef to the underlying ... -
Mechanisms of sill and dyke intrusion.
(1994)Mechanisms of sill and dyke intrusion require an understanding of fracture growth,stress distributions and intensities, dilation,intrusion rates, hydraulic pressure,host-rock effects,en echelon fracture arrays,and flow ... -
The stratigraphy of the Natal Group.
(1994)Research for this project involved the first systematic field and laboratory investigation over the entire known portion of the Natal Group depositional basin, from just north of Hlabisa in the north, to Hibberdene in the ... -
The geology and geochemistry of the Rooi Rand Dyke Swarm.
(1996)The Jurassic Rooi Rand dolerite dyke swarm was emplaced sub-parallel to the Lebombo Monocline during the initial stages of Gondwana breakup. The dykes extend northwards from the southern Lebombo region in northern ... -
Palaeoenvironments of the Estcourt formation (Beaufort Group), KwaZulu-Natal.
(1997)At present the Karoo Basin covers approximately 20 000 km2. It is a large intracratonic basin which, from Carboniferous to Jurassic times, was infilled with a succession of sediments ranging from glacial deposits to those ... -
The assessment of groundwater quality in rural communities : two case studies from KwaZulu-Natal.
(1998)The health and life expectancy of populations in developing countries is largely determined by the availability of good quality drinking water. Boreholes and springs generally provide water of better microbiological ... -
Seismic stratigraphy of the northern KwaZulu-Natal upper continental margin.
(1998)This study presents the interpretation of Edo-Western and Sparker seismic geophysical data acquired on the northern KwaZulu-Natal upper continental margin by various organisations since 1981. Five seismic sequences are ... -
The bathymetry, sedimentology and seismic stratigraphy of Lake Sibaya- Northern KwaZulu-Natal.
(1998)The morphology of Lake Sibaya is a product of an ancient fluvial system that drained a coastal landscape dominated by aeolian processes. The sedimentary processes within the lake are driven by wind generated currents. ... -
Sedimentology, stratigraphy and geological history of part of the northern KwaZulu-Natal coastal dune cordon, South Africa.
(1999)The northern KwaZulu-Natal coast is backed by a continuous aeolian dune cordon that rises in places, to a height of more than 100 metres and a width of 2 kilometres. This MSc thesis documents the geomorphology of the ... -
Impact of alluvial gold mining on surface water quality in the Revue basin-Manica District, Mozambique.
(2000)The upper part of the Revue basin in the Manica District, Mozambique is located in a mountainous area underlain by rocks of the Manica greenstone belt. This greenstone belt has alluvial gold deposits in the Revue river ...
