Most barite orebodies lend themselves best to cycles of mining stripping mining etc and together with market weather and geological conditions the flexibility of readily switching from mining to stripping or back to mining generally provides the best possible utilization of manpower and equipment
Barite is ubiquitous and known to incorporate 226Ra through the formation of a solidsolution In U mining mill tailings barite is one of the dominant sulfatebinding minerals In such environments sequential extractions are generally used to identify the U and 226Rabinding phases and their associated reactivity To better decipher the main processes governing the behavior of 226Ra during
