Fractal approach to geological and economic assessment of germanium-bearing lignites by O. I. Bilous, M. S. Burlutskyy

“…However, in the current climate of rapidly rising germanium prices, this approach must be reconsidered, as the volume of coal mined is of secondary importance and the economics of germanium depend on the ratio of processing costs to the current price of germanium. In other words, the economics of germanium in lignite depend on the content of this metal in the coal and the extent of its extraction (from both the coal and the ash). …”
