	Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) - Metal/Nonmetal Mine Fatal Accident Investigation Report: Fatality #16 - ...
		Basalt was drilled and blasted from multiple benches in the quarry and hauled by front-end loaders to a crusher.
		A fatal accident occurred at this operation on June 27, 2005, when a dozer operator was cleaning the 1st bench off and over-traveled and fell to the pit floor.
		The mine operator shall obtain approval from an authorized representative for all actions to recover and/or restore operations in the affected area.

	Zavod izoliacii / Equipment / Plant for basalt continuous fiber production (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Basalt fibers together with carbon or ceramic fibers as well as various metals is the most advanced and exciting area of application, as they can develop new hybrid composite materials and technologies.
		Thanks to their excellent properties basalt fiber may be used for manufacturing of thermo and alkali resistant articles (tanks, pipes, GFRP, warm insulating materials) and as ecological harmless substitute for asbestos.
		Basalt is low transparent and convective component of basalt heating is almost absent.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Heritage \| Fayoum's ancient quarry under threat (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Basalt was deliberately chosen for building construction because its fl colour symbolised the dark alluvium of the fertile Nile Valley, on which the development of the Egyptian civilisation depended.
		It is not clear why the basalt quarries of Widan Al-Faras were abandoned after the Old Kingdom and only reused more than 2,000 years later in the Ptolemaic and Roman Periods, as evidenced by pottery shards and special techniques of stone extraction.
		It is interesting that during the time that massive exploitation of basalt was continuing at Gabal Qatrani, Lake Moeris was at the same level as the Nile River during its annual summer flood, thus enormously facilitating the transport of stone blocks.

	Basalt fiber
		Basalt is an inert and naturally occurring material that is found worldwide.
		Basalt continuous fibers are produced from basalt rock using single component raw material by drawing and winding fibers from the melt.
		Basalt continuous fibers can be processed to roving or to chopped basalt strand.

	WA00266 - North Dam - Washington
		Basalt flows and interbedded Latah beds underlie the northern part of the dam.
		The Latah is a lake deposit of clayey to sandy sediment that developed along the margin of the basalt.
		This basalt, together with a considerable amount of clay and sandstone of the Latah Formation, is interpreted in the exploration reports as slide material.

	Abrasive Slag Managed With Basalt Lined Pipe - Supplier Data By Abresist
		A water granulating/grinding operation that turns slag left over from the production of iron into slag cement, the Blue Circle plant is the first and oldest of its kind to be built in the United States.
		During the grinding operation, fineness is closely controlled on an hourly basis to ensure that the hydraulic activity of the slag is uniform and exceeds the stringent strength requirements of ASTM-C-989 specifications.
		The basalt lining on the tanks had been installed in 1989 and was not originally specified when the plant was built.

	Geos-Polissya
		At a distance of 6 km to the southern east there is a Rafalivka field of basalt connected by the railway with the railway station Rafalivka.
		Basalt reserves were estimated from layer 4,6,7 (strata I, III and V respectively) and have such values.
		Hydrogeological conditions of the field are complicated on account of the presence of 3 aquifers: pressereless - in fluviaglacier sands, with pressure - in deposits of chalk and basalts (tufas) of the berestovets series of upper proterozoy.

	THE MAIN PRINCIPLES AND DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS BASALT FIBERS PRODUCTION
		The big iron oxide content of basalt stone, which makes a melt dark color, increase the homogenization period, crystallization temperature and make viscosity curve much more abrupt in comparison with aggregated glass compositions.
		In case of pure basalt raw material, a drastic local melt cooling (in the loading zone), escorted by bubbling of the melt.
		As it was found by experiments with different sorts of pure natural basalt igneous rock, such main principles of melt basin design makes a good chance for quality continuous fiber manufacturing with minimum micro-cracks on fiber surface.

	Operation Basalt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During World War II, Operation Basalt was a small raid on the German occupied British Channel Island of Sark, on the night of 3/4 October, 1942.
		It was conducted by ten men of the Special Operations Executive's Small Scale Raiding Force, and No.12 Commando with the object of offensive reconnaissance and capturing prisoners.
		David Niven, who participated in Channel raids, states in his autobiography The Moon's a Balloon that the commandos who landed on Sark were taken to the local pub by the locals for a drink.

	Underground Testing at NTS
		This restricted area provides a buffer zone to the north and east between the test area and land that is open to the public, and varies in width from 15-65 miles (24-105 kilometers).
		When the decision to accelerate the development of nuclear weapons was made in the late 1940s in response to national defense policy, it became apparent that weapons development lead times would be reduced and considerably less expense incurred if nuclear weapons, especially the lower yield weapons, could be tested safely within the continental boundaries.
		In addition security of the test operation could be ensured, a considerable concern at a time that a major land war was raging in Asia, and the possibility of direct conflict with China and the Soviet Union was feared.

		Concession rights for exploration and operation of a mineral deposit are issued on equal terms to domestic and foreign corporations or joint ventures, as well as private persons.
		For exploitation, they are granted for the period of the project's operation or until full depletion of the reserves.
		A combined method of reserves development with a series-parallel operation of the pit and the underground mine is most we reasonable, with annual output of a gold recovery mill projected at of 850-1000 thousand tons.

	Evaluation of Full-Time Ride Service Program: Aspen, Colorado's Tipsy Taxi Service - Program Description
		The population centers -- Aspen, Snowmass Village, Basalt (partly in Pitkin, partly in Eagle County), Redstone and Thomasville -- are connected by a system of state and secondary roads which, because of mountainous terrain, naturally follow the creeks and rivers (Figure 1).
		The 20 miles of SH 82 from Aspen to the continental divide is two-lane, as is SH 133 from Carbondale to Redstone.
		Program operators state that because impaired driving is preventable if the drinker refrains from driving, the sole purpose of Tipsy Taxi is to keep the impaired person physically separated from his or her car.

		The operation had previously reached a depth of approximately 1,580 feet, and EnCana spokesperson Wendy Wiedenbeck said officials resumed drilling after the construction of a specialized drilling rig for use through a layer of basalt rock.
		EnCana officials have said this drilling operation will have a greater chance of success than previous operations in the area, and newer and better drilling technology is available now that wasn't 15 to 20 years ago.
		From there, Wiedenbeck said operators will bring in a third rig to complete the final stage of drilling, and bring the operation to the desired depth of 14,000 feet.

	Environmental variables
		If a variable is a linear combination of others, a "singular matrix" results; this leads to a matrix operation which is analogous to dividing by zero.
		Plots 1, 3 and 10 are on granite; 2, 4 and 5 are on limestone, and 6, 7, 8 and 9 are on basalt.
		Fortunately, this results in no loss of information: if you remove "basalt", the information about basalt is still in the data set because basalt always occurs when you do not have granite or limestone.
