I tried to get a sample for O.S.L. dating here, but when bits of the deposit started falling down around me, I decided that hammering a metal pipe into this rock pile might not be such a good idea.

The Endura platform is a modular, configurable system used to deposit metals and metal alloys on the wafer.

The most common approach to extracting metal-bearing ore from a porphyry copper deposit is by open-pit mining, although such mines also typically include some underground activities.
