Proton microprobe analyses of trace elements have been carried out on a wide variety of ilmenites, garnets and chromites, to improve diamond exploration methods. The results so far show the potential to discriminate between barren and diamondiferous source rocks, and to distinguish multiple sources within single Drainages.

In the paper a complex problem was formulated for studying and establishing an effective and safe technology of selective underground leaching of useful components from polymetallic ores. Solving this problem will allow increasing technical and economic efficiency, technological and ecological safety of mining of useful minerals of polymetallic deposits.

The international scientific and engineer-ing community is being challenged to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the U.N. International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) program to reduce rapid onset geological hazards along the Pacific Rim. Natural disasters observe no national boundaries; international cooperation offers the best opportunity to reduce the losses these catastrophic events create.

The increasing use of Ditch Witch trenching to define gold ore bound- aries in supergeme enriched near surface open cut mines has led to the consideration of using this technique for other sampling procedures. The use of Ditch Witch trenching for exploration has not been widely used and it is anticipated that the technique described will help stimulate more extensive use and new sampling techniques.

The principle conception is presented of timely planning of winning operations in complex-structural blocks and faces in week-24-hourly regime. For adequate description of complex interconnections of open cast operation in space and in time and solving of optimisation problems in timely regime it is necessary using of complex logical and calculation procedures.

The geologists at the Zinc Mine in Broken Hill have developed a method of logging core using portable MS-DOS computers and LOTUS 123. The computer based logging system has almost halved both the time and cost to produce a completed log. The system is fast, flexible, easy and pleasant to use.

It is extraordinary that while Australia depends heavily on mineral wealth for its economic well-being, most Australians have no appreciation of the traditions and principles which drive and govern the mineral industry. Their understanding has been largely provided by those who campaign against the industry in one way or another and is therefore quite unrepresentative.

The origins of instrument application in the Mineral Industry are discussed. Development of measurement techniques pertinent to the industry is described as is the early application of mini-computers. The current application of microprocessor based equipment and the benefits obtained from this range of equipment are discussed. A speculative opinion as to what future instrument development may offer the industry is outlined.

Aspects and anomalies in the present Standard Specifications for Blended Cements which may have operated in Australia against the development of the greater use of Slag Blended Cements are noted. Estimates of slag and ash usage in Australia are given and the need for further research with local materials stressed.
