Abstract: In late November 2015 the Department of State Development released a mining proposal template, program for environment protection and rehabilitation (PEPR) template and supporting minerals regulatory guideline for quarries in South Australia with defined impacts.
The templates were developed to streamline the approval process for small-scale quarry operations seeking an extractive minerals lease (EML) while still satisfying all legal requirements.
To apply for an EML using the mining proposal template, prospective applicants must first determine whether their proposed mining operation is considered eligible against a set of criteria. The criteria are designed to define potential environmental or third-party property impacts associated with the proposed mining operation.

Abstract: The newly released updated geological map of the Mount Painter region, compiled by Stephen Hore (2015), builds upon the classic Mount Painter Province 1:125 000 scale map by Costs et al. (1969) presented in Regional and economic geology of the Mount Painter Province (Coats and Blissett 1971).This second edition presents the integration of the many significant contributions in the region ' s geologic interpretation over the past 44 years and is most evident in a comparison of the stratigraphic columns, the second edition having many more units. The new and revised stratigraphic units have been reserved with the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database, with publication of their definitions to follow.

Title: Origin of Eocene sedimentary cover adjacent to the Hillside Cu-Au deposit: detrital zircon provenance of Quartoo Sand Member.

Subject: Mineral resources
Keywords: Origin, Eocene, sedimentary cover, adjacent, Hillside, CU-Au deposit, zircon, provenance, Quartoo, Sand Member.
Abstract: Sedimentary transport can lead to cover sequences containing detritus that is lithologically, mineralogically and geochemically exotic to the underlying bedrock. Such a cover sequence effectively conceals the geochemical properties of the underlying bedrock. A critical component in understanding how effectively the cover masks the bedrock is the link between the source, or provenance of the sedimentary material, and the site of deposition. This is intimately linked to the paleogeography and the sedimentary history of the detritus.

Title: Novel solutions take Portia gold deposit from discovery to production.

Keywords: Novel solutions, Portia gold, discovery, production.
Abstract: Portia is an unusual gold deposit which presented unique challenges to bring into production. Its discovery and development is a case history of patience, persistence and considerable innovation. It presented many contradictions. The gold is coarse grained and can be recovered in a simple gravity plant, yet this causes serious ' nugget ' sampling problems and difficulties in estimating gold resource grades. It lies beneath 75 m of barren clay over burden that is soft and easy to dig, but presents pit wall stability problems.

Abstract: With growing urban development, the South Australian Government has recognized the need to update and improve the way the state ' s planning and mining legislation and regulations interact and share information at relevant stages. Such interaction is necessary to maintain ongoing access to long-life valuable construction materials and to minimize potential land-use conflicts between incompatible uses.

Abstract: Ongoing investigations of the geological and geomorphological features that make up the complex summit surface of Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, continue to provide new insights into its development. In particular, we have been examining the relationships between the often deeply weathered and ferruginised plateau surface developed primarily on Precambrian to early Paleozoic bedrock, which Tokarev and Gostin (2003) describe as the ' pre-Middle Eocene paleoplain ' , and the Permian and Cenozoic sediments that occur in small intramontane basins, as indicated in schematic cross-sections of Fleurieu Peninsula (Milnes, Bourman and Northcote 1985; Alley and Bourman 1995).

Abstract: The Indian food processing industry is lagging behind many small countries because of high energy requirements and high capital investment industry. No appropriate technology is available in our country to meet these conditions. To overcome these difficulties, an innovative technology in the form of solar cabinet dryer was introduced by the Society for Energy. Environment and Development (SEED) to process fruits, vegetables, and forest produce with zero energy cost.

Abstract: A large number of people in developing countries such as India still live in rural and remote areas, where electricity grid is yet unavailable or not envisaged by the people. Pumps are critical to irrigation and community water supply systems in rural economies. According to the United Nations, agriculture accounts for 70 percent of global freshwater withdrawls-a harsh reality when considering the amount and consistency of power needed to obtain this water. There are an estimated 21 million irrigation pumps in India out of which over 9 million are run on diesel and12 million depend on the electricity grid. Electricity consumption by irrigation pumps accounts for 10-15 per cent of India ' s total electricity consumption.

Abstract: India has been facing the energy balance crisis for many decades. The electricity generation primarily depends on coal reserves, secondly on hydro power followed by natural gas. Coal depletion has motivated the country to look for other resources to meet its energy demand. India has a tremendous opportunity for non-conventional energy sources. India is the first country to set up a separate government body for the renewable resources development, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) which is making special tariffs and schemes to reduce the carbon emission. The motivation of solar energy aiding the country to meet its energy demand is inexhaustibility, reliability, and ease of installation in limited period of time. The Solar power generation is eco-friendly as it does not include any harmful emissions and is a noise-free operation.

Abstract: The world ' s largest shipbuilding hall, in the Meyer Werft shipyard in Paenburg, Germany, is a hive of activity. Gerd Untiedt watches on as hundreds of workers wielding hammers and welding equipment apply the finishing touches to a cruise liner. The colossal ship is almost 350 metres long -big enough to accommodate over 4, 000 passengers. Two of these leviathans are built by the shipyard every year, a feat which never ceases to impress even seasoned employees like Untiedt.

Abstract: Our skies stink. Our seas stink. And our roads stink. The amount of fumes and exhaust belched out by aeroplanes, ships, cars and trains is growing larger-and more dangerous-by the day. For years, the scientific community has warned of the growing threat tour climate. According to the latest studies, emissions caused by the transport sector could rise by as much as 250 percent between now and 2050 if heads of state fail to take action to keep global warming below the two-degree threshold. So far, however, the politicians in charge seem content to give polluters a free ride, as if they were already resigned to a three or even four-degree target.EU Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Canete, for example, recently declared at a conference in the Moroccan capital Rabat that the world is ?on a path towards 3 degrees? -a blatant admission of a failure which experts believe can be attributed at least in part to stagnation in the transport industry.

Abstract: new energy: So far, renewable have not played a major role in Iran ' s energy supply system. Now the government wants to change this. What are its reasons? What is it seeking to achieve?
Mohammad Sadeghzadeh: Until now, we have relied on domestic natural gas and oil, which is readily available in our country. However, we have since decided to export a considerable share of our energy to other countries, including Europe or even East Asia, to participate in their development and comfort. If we were to continue to consume all of our natural gas and oil domestically, we would no longer have the capacity to export. It is important to note that consumption is growing by six or seven percent every year. Accordingly, renewable must become more prominent. This will also enable us to protect the environment and help reduce global warming. It is all about diversification of our energy mix. The Iranian parliament has ratified a special plan to replace gas and oil with renewables. For the first step, we aim to install at least 5,000 megawatts (MW) over the next five years, possibly more.
