Increase in fluoride concentration in mine water in Shendong mining area, Northwest China: Insights from isotopic and geochemical signatures
Highlights The abundance and spatial distribution of F– in the mine water of the Shendong mining area were determined. The hydrogeochemical behaviours and formation mechanisms that further elevate F– levels in mine water during mining activities were evaluated. The hydrogeochemical processes of mine water at high F– concentration using stable isotopes (34SSO4, 18OSO4,18OH2O, and D) […]

Eclipse Metals Ltd advances development plan for the world’s largest cryolite mine with rare earth potential
Eclipse has identified the potential for untapped rare earth, high-grade quartz, cryolite, siderite, sphalerite and carbonate material at the company’s Ivittuut Project in Greenland. Eclipse Metals Ltd (ASX:EPM) is advancing the historical Ivittuut Cryolite Mine and undeveloped mineral resources including a large REE (rare earth elements)-bearing carbonatite deposit in Greenland. Over 120 years between 1865 […]

Eclipse Metals bought the world’s largest and only naturally occurring cyrolite source
Note from Fluoride Action Network: In a lengthy New York Times article published online October 1, 2021, titled, The World Wants Greenland Minerals. Greenlanders Are Wary, there was no mention of cryolite. The print edition was published on Oct 2nd. “The year ahead looks to be busy and productive as we continue to evaluate and […]

Historical drill cores in Greenland reveal promising rare earths for Eclipse Metals
Eclipse Metals found europium present in 50-year-old drill cores at several times greater than average concentration. Perth-based Eclipse Metals (ASX: EPM) has found drilling done more than 50 years ago at its recently-acquired mothballed Ivittuut cryolite mine in Greenland intersected rare earths — but these elements were not pursued at the time. Six diamond holes […]

Geochemical controls on the enrichment of fluoride in the mine water of the Shendong mining area, China
Highlights 51% of mine water samples exceed the Chinese drinking water limit for fluoride (1 mg/L). The overall mine water quality is influenced by cation exchange, dissolution of minerals and so on. NaHCO3 type mine water possesses the highest average fluoride concentration. Fluoride concentrations are overall proportional to higher pH, TDS, and EC levels. Fluoride […]

Laramie and the Fluorspar Mines of North Park: The LHP&P Railroad helped move the ore
Driving from Laramie to Walden, Colorado in the 1980s and 1990s, travelers passed a stockpile of white material filling long trenches perpendicular to Highway 125 just a few miles north of Cowdrey. This material was fluorspar, the industrial name given to the mineral fluorite, a mixture of calcium and fluorine. Then, in the summer of […]

Underground water sources under siege of substance pollution-CWSA
The activities of illegal miners is not only affecting surface water quality but underground water as well, Mr. Wolanyo Kwadjo Siabi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Community Water and Sanitation Agency has indicated. “Underground water which over the years have been described as the safest, had had its quality compromised with traces and continual […]

How This Abandoned Mining Town in Greenland Helped Win World War II
Ivittuut held the world’s largest reserve of naturally occurring cryolite, a mineral that was used in the manufacturing of fighter planes Founded in 1854, the town of Ivittuut (formerly Ivigtut) once held the world’s largest reserve of naturally occurring cryolite. (Patrick Sgro) It was a foggy morning in south Greenland as I stood on deck […]

Common fungi can breathe life back into land rendered barren near mining sites
Vadodara: Massive stretches of land near mining sites that have been rendered barren due to toxic and heavy metals can potentially turned lush green and fertile. In a major breakthrough using a commonly found fungi, MS University scientists are confident that such land can be actually turned fertile. The experiment was carried out to reclaim […]
