PETROVSKY'S CRITERIA FOR ASSESSING INVESTMENT RISKS IN MINING
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
IMHO, Big Business in Australia is voting against Australian science
63% of Billionaires have invested in iron ore, steel, pellets, ferroalloys, pig iron, recycling scrap.
And only Australian Billionaires are selling iron ore and do not produce anything from iron ore in their country? Why don't Australian Billionaires process ore and smelt steel like other Billionaires do?
Why didn't Australian billionaires order a project to process their own iron ore at numeros research centers and universities of Australian? Australian billionaires don't trust them?
They transport ore to other countries for processing.
Do Australian Billionaires trust more professionals from other countries but not Australian sientificos?

REE vs FERTILIZERS
While hundreds of naive investors believe in flattering speeches and hoping to becoming REE KINGS, real Billionaires receive billions from investments in commonplace FERTILIZERS.
None of the 800 billionaires in any country have invested in rare earth elements in mining (REE)?
What miracles do you expect?

Buy a Great Metal Ax
He: “Buy a Great Metal Ax of our Primeval Metallurgical Company!”
I: “Excuse me, but your ax is made of stone!”
He: “Buddy! It looks like you are behind the times!
Yes, our axes are made of stone. But scientists have found that Mineral is the same as Metal.
Stone is a mineral. Mineral is metal. Hence, our axes are metal!
We have a certificate for it.
I also suggest that you purchase the super reliable AAA shares of our Primeval Metallurgical Company!
This is the perfect investment!”

THE MODELING OF THE HARDENING VELOCITY By Ph.D. Igor Bobin
The hardening is an important physical
process at the industrial production. The most famous examples are
pelletizing of iron ore or briquetting of coal and peat. We spoke about
the hardening kinetics in the articles [1-3].
Analytical curves of the hardening kinetics for the ore briquetting are shown in Fig.1.

Fig 1. The hardening kinetic curves obtained at the modeling [1-3] by formulas: (1) - artificial desiccation and (2) - native desiccation Time is presented in seconds
Now we shall deal with hardening velocity or hardening rate. What is that?
Hardening
velocity (rate) vS is ratio of the compressive strength of specimen Rs
to unit of time t. Hardening velocity is derivative of time vS = dRs
/dt (Pa / sec).
Our modeling approach to the hardening kinetics
allows carry direct calculation of the hardening velocity, pioneering
move. Formulas (1) and (2) of the hardening kinetics are presented in
articles [1-3].
I have proposed the following my own formula with
delay for the direct analytical calculations of the hardening velocity
vS (the differential equation in the operational form of Laplace).
The parameters Rs max, rs0, τ and T are determined from an experimental data of the hardening process.
The mathematical model (3) of the hardening velocity vS of the first order with delay is Transfer Function W(s), which is convenient for modeling using MATLAB. The mathematical model (3) has enough accuracy for engineering calculations.
The parameters Rs max, rs0, τ, τtr and T2 are determined from an experimental data of the hardening process.
The mathematical model (4) of the hardening velocity vc of the second order with delay is Transfer Function W(s), which is convenient for modeling using MATLAB. The mathematical model (4) provides very high accuracy of scientific calculations and engineering.
Analytical curves of the hardening velocity are shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.

Fig 2. The hardening velocity curves obtained at the modeling by formulas
(3) - artificial desiccation and (4) - native desiccation. Time is presented in seconds

Fig 3. The hardening velocity curves obtained at the modeling by formulas
(3) - artificial desiccation and (4) - native desiccation. Time is presented in hours
The use of I. Bobin's operational formulas of the hardening kinetics and velocity allows:
1. Reduce the cost of obtaining products with the required strength.
2. Effectively manage the process of hardening of products.
3. Optimize the process of hardening finished products and semi-finished products.
4. Reduce the number of production areas.
5. Reduce the cost of drying and hardening products.
In
this manner the modeling of hardening kinetics is an indispensable tool
for analisis of the mineral technology and other. The immediate
analytical description and a visual representation of the hardening
velocity in time are very important for solving optimization problem of
production processing. The formulas of the hardening velocity can be
used everywhere with success where a product (or semi-product) acquires
strength over time.

HOW TO LOSE EVERYTHING. Bad advice on investment at mining
The first bad advice. If someone persistently urges you to invest in the "True matter", "The Eighth Wonder of the World", etc., then always agree! You thing that it is insulting to miss such a direct possibility of multiplying your capitals!
It's the same as playing in the Casino. But after all, the casinos are full of people! May be it will give you confidence.
My comments on the situation:
But most likely everything will happen quite the contrary...
Some people scold me that I advised you to make an accurate calculation before investing in something, such as a mineral deposit. This can be understood. After all, the casino also does not welcome MathPlayers!
But I am a disinterested person. Invest in what you want! And as much as possible!
Anyway, tomorrow you all will come to me with your so-called "mineral deposits" for my help to return to you at least part of your lost money. After all, except me, no one can really help you with the case... All others are just talking and promising.
And only that man, who is wise, will come to me today to get advice before investing, to get the gain. This is your money! You choose!
Bad advice 2. Believe the promises of brokers, geologists, consultants, friends and acquaintances! Believe a large number of likes and positive comments at the Internet, a large number of signatures and recommendations of authorized persons. Do not hesitate, do not delve into the process, do not check anything, just buy or invest!
Here are a lot of them! They have a unanimous opinion, so it is true. They know what they say, probably?!
The main thing is to do it very quickly! What the independent experts and independent additional samples and studies? Just no time! Such treasure will immediately go to someone more nimble!
Anyway, that’s how many papers already signed. Enough of these documents! After all, these authorized people with degrees could not sign something if they were not completely sure that everything is OK! However, confuses the fact that many of the signatories were from different countries and very distant … But it is even better! World experience in action! However, do these respected people with degrees know about their signatures on documents?
Let your hope warms you that billionaires, who make their fortunes in mining, exist and you will soon join their ranks.
My expert opinion on this situation
Tell me, would you buy a work of art for several hundred million dollars without the conclusion of several independent experts? Probably not.
There are very few true experts in art, but there are a lot of fakes. The services of experts are expensive, but much cheaper than the price of the very work of art. Only experts can distinguish a masterpiece from a fake. Fraudsters often forge their signatures, and experts themselves are subjected to pressure and threats.
I am a disinterested person. I do not care. It is your choice, your money and your decision.
But no one can make a masterpiece from a fake. This is cheating and / or self-deception. However, there are always those who are happy to be deceived.
At mining, everything is like at art, only more complicated. There is no clear boundary between the fake and the original. After all, one master – Mother Nature, creates both. She has one style for all her works: masterpieces, drafts and just creative garbage. Try to distinguish them!The price of the issue: Several billion dollars (or more) spent on the mineral field, infrastructure and plant (a typical project without calculations).
Then, without seeing tangible results, you will start going to the laboratories for many years so that they can get at least something from your “ore” for you. After decades, you will pay for the services of almost all laboratories in the world.
Why do you need all this?
As a result, you will come to me with the last hope. I undertake the implementation of only those projects that can be implemented with a guaranteed profit at the present level of development of science and technology. But I do not undertake the implementation of projects that can not be completed in 1-3 years. More…
Consider each “mineral field” as fake until you CONVINCINGLY prove the opposite!
A wise person will first get my conclusion from me directly to know if the discovery is a true mine, or is it another fake. More…
Good luck!

Why does Chile, US and some other countries help Russia pursue me? or Bees against honey!
I understand that the Russians are angry that I left them. I am a high-class specialist who now continues to independently solve world problems in the field of mineral processing.
I developed technological solutions on metallurgical plants that allowed billionaires from the Forbes list to get billions in real profits, but not bubbles.
Why does Chile, US and some other countries help Russia pursue me?
Bees against honey?
What do you need? What don't you like? I am ready to help you.
I left Russia not from a good life. My university professor’s salary
was about $ 300 dollars per month (Ph.D, Dr.), but the rector’s salary
was $ 330000 dollars per year (only official salary). Knowledgeable
people said that the rector’s income was more than $ 1 million dollars a
year.
P.S. I do not work with Russia, Chile and the United States.

The investor asks me: "Help me get back at least some of my investment!" FORGET ABOUT THE MONEY SPENT!
The investor asks me: "I bought
a mineral deposits. Five years have passed. Many
research laboratories in the world have done experiments. No one can get
anything. Do at least something! I've already spent a lot of money.
Help me return at least part of the money invested."
I always start with a theoretical analysis of the ore. This is my know-how. I am the only specialist in the world who does this. More
I made calculations and told the investor: "Forget about the money spent and this field. Now you have spent millions and have no result.
You can spend another 20 years and spend billions and you won't have results either."
And only that man, who is wise, will come to me today to get advice before investing.
This is your money! You choose!
You can do "Assessing Investment Risks in Mining".

You feel a pity for to stop it all, because you have already given the contractor a lot of money
Excerpt from the article "TEN SIGNS OF A SWINDLE"
However, enough the presence of the following features to recognize an unscrupulous contractor:
Bubble. Under various pretexts, Contractor is actively trying to attract to the implementation of the project as much as possible quantity of performers and subcontractors (often from different countries).
He also clearly justifies the need to divide the project into numerous intermediate parts and sub-parts. Contractor justifies the need for a large quantity of experiments, analysis, tests, consultations.
Why? Indeed, in this case, it is much easier to justify the exaggerated budget of the project and to dilute responsibility for the final result. Who is a culpable, that it didn't work? Immediately one could not tell it. "It's been a part of the project, and it is made with quality! Let's look at a new project, all these things can be improved!"
because you have already given the contractor a lot of money.

IMHO, If a researcher can just "eat money" for years without getting the expected final result, then he will do so (Murphy's Law)
Friday, 1 November 2019. One asked me: "What is the economic efficiency of project and environmental benefits of such projects: "The West Virginia Water Research Institute at West Virginia University has been awarded $5 million by the U.S. Department of Energy to continue Rare Earth Recovery Project, Build Acid Mine Drainage Treatment Facility"?"
I replied: "This project is unprofitable. Ecological benefit is very doubtful.
I very responsibly studied this issue for more than 10 years and defended my thesis doctoral on this issue in 2002." More
More than 2 years have passed. They've already spent $ 5 million and want more? The West Virginia University received another $ 2.1 million because it was unable to complete these studies. Didn't they get positive results? Was I right again?
IMHO, The fact is that it is unprofitable for a university, as a large social organism, to be especially prolific in science (research institute as well). He is fed by time. And the university is usually inclined to stretch time. More
If a researcher can just "eat money" for years without getting the expected final result, then he will do so (Murphy's Law). The increase in funding for research will only exacerbate this situation. More

ABOUT INVESTMENTS by Natalia Petrovskaya
You offer me to develop a business in my country.
But, what country are we talking about? What does “my country” mean?
I am a man of the world, cosmopolitan. I am out of politics. I feel myself so. For me, all countries are mine.
See my diagram. Criteria of Petrovskaya: metals – minerals – deposits – technologies. Where is no the country, the state.
As for the political system, stability, etc., you decide which country is best for you business, I am not a politician.
As a person who is responsible and honest, I can tell you frankly that I will not vouch for anyone (person, team, enterprise …). I am confident only in myself.
Therefore, if we are talking about relatively small investments (about USD 10-20 millions), then I can recommend you to invest in me, this is the most reliable investment.
So, my business plan is an investment in me and under my name. Then we decide what is best for you, we can determine in detail the larger investments (under USD 1 billion and more): where and how to do it better. To determine this, I need to work hard and count.
No one (except the scammer) can tell you reliably on the fly: “Now this is the right thing to do! Invest only there!”
All the available information about the object, calculations and experience are needed to say this.
Hurry up, because I may be busy in another project very soon.
Respectfully,

Under the ground lies a pile of stones, but there are no ingots!
He persuades you to buy a occurrence: "The deposit contains rare earth metals, gold, silver, copper, iron, titanium, vanadium, nickel, lead, tin ..."
You decided: "I buy!"
Several decades passed. You invested several billion dollars.
You did not receive bullion of gold or silver, ingots of rare earth
metals, copper, iron, titanium, vanadium, nickel, lead, tin.
He told you that 100 tons of gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, silver, are found on under the ground. You can take them. Under the ground lies a pile of stones, but there are no ingots.
But don't despair!
Imagine that you can predict the financial catastrophe
of a mining enterprise or its success is
much more early (10-20 years before this event)!?
With the advent of
"Assessment of investment risks in mining according to Petrovsky's
criteria", you can already know the development of events for several
decades ahead. More
