Dear Phil, I am sorry but I have no expertise in mining engineering and consequently cannot anwer your question. However, I can recommend an American institution you may want to contact. The Colorado School of Mines has a Department of Mining Engineering which conducts this type of research, their web address is http://magma.Mines.EDU/Academic/mining. (The web address lists several relevant people to contact.) Best of luck in your important endeavor! Diane H
