Sources of early Islamic silver: lead isotope analysis of dirhams
The expansion of the early Islamic state ( c. AD 700–900) was underpinned by the minting of silver coins ( dirhams) on an enormous scale. While the wider effects of this coinage have been studied extensively, the sources of silver have attracted less attention and research has relied on literary texts pointing to mines in Arabia and Central Asia.

Production of cobalt from copper-cobalt ores on the African …
A specific cobalt flotation circuit is run at KCM's Nchanga concentrator. The ore from the Nchanga open pit contains pockets of ore with higher grades of cobalt, typically about 0.3% cobalt and 1.3% copper. This ore is processed in campaigns through the cobalt flotation circuit, which is illustrated schematically in Fig. 11. The concentrate ...
