Description: 
The geological, mineralogical, and geophysical work of the Institute 
has included investigations of the distribution of cobalt, nickel, and copper 
in hydrothermally altered rocks, magnetic studies of ore bodies, studies of 
electric prospecting of pyrite deposits, gravitational and electrical surveys, 
electrode probing of ore bodies, drill checking on the reliability of geo- 
logical structural maps of lignite deposits plotted according to gravitational 
research, solution of some two-dimensional problems of geophysical explora- 
tion, studies of the geology of the Bokal group of deposits, chemical investi- 
gations of gaseous inclusions in quartz, studies of minerals in meteorites, 
some data on meteorites found in the Urals, and investigations of the geologi- 
cal structure of the Tagil-Kushova iron-ore district. 
In the field of mining technology, studies have been made on open- 
pit working of deposits occurring at great depths. 
In the field of ore dressing, studies have been made on rock crush- 
ing, determination of a sensible degree of work fragmentation by detonation, 
and tailings and granulated slag for an embedding material in some Ural copper 
mines.
