A Meeting at Pulkovo International Airport Dmitry Volkov (an executive at “Eurosport”, Saint-Petersburg, Russia) meets his business partner John Boden (an executive of Export Department at “Dynateam Innovations Inc.”, Washington DC., the USA) at Pulkovo International Airport. The British Airways Flight 2844 from London landed 20 minutes ago. Mr. Boden gets through the passport control, collects his luggage and goes to a custom desk. His luggage inspected, he greets Dmitry happily.
| John Boden:
| Hi, Dmitry. Can’t believe I’m in Russia!
| | Dmitry Volkov:
| Nice to see you, John. Have you got only one suitcase?
| | John Boden:
| Yes, I prefer to travel light.
| |
|
They come out of the airport building and go to the car.
In the car.
| | Dmitry Volkov:
| How was your flight, John?
| | John Boden:
| Not bad at all. I flew in World Traveller Plus Class this time.
| | Dmitry Volkov:
| What’s this?
| | John Boden:
| It’s a sort of an enhanced economy class.
| | Dmitry Volkov:
| Oh, that’s interesting!
| | John Boden:
| The seat was a little bit wider and I had more room to stretch out and lie back. Arm rests are 8 cm. wider than in economy class, giving passengers 15 cm. more shoulder space. All seats are equipped with a telephone and a power source for laptop computers.
| | Dmitry Volkov:
| For this case, I know one American proverb: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.
| | John Boden:
| I see what you are hinting at. I didn’t work at all during my flight. I slept and I watched a very interesting movie. My seat-back video player offered 12 video and 12 audio channels. To be honest, I wanted to read a guide-book on Saint-Petersburg, but I have left it in my suitcase. World Traveller Plus allows passengers to take on board two pieces of hand luggage weighing up to 12 kg., but my luggage weighed more.
| | Dmitry Volkov:
| Is World Traveller Plus more expensive than economy?
| | John Boden:
| It’s about 15% more than the current full, one-way economy ticket. But, still, if you go for cheap tickets, it’s better to purchase advance booking.
| | Dmitry Volkov:
| John, I want to ask you what you would prefer - to go to your hotel or to go straight to our office?
| | John Boden:
| I’m feeling a little bit tired after the flight, but I’m really happy to be in the most beautiful city in Europe.

1. Прочитайте и письменно переведите следующий текст:
Prospecting
Mining activities include prospecting and exploration for a mineral deposit through finding, proving, developing, extracting and processing the ore. That is why it is possible to divide the mining activity into three major phases: 1) before mining which involves prospecting and exploration required to locate, characterize and prove a potential ore body; 2) mining which refers to actual coal or ore extraction. Extraction processes include underground or surface mining and dredging; 3) after mining which involves processing and preparing the raw ore for the end product.
As has already been said, before a mineral deposit can be worked, that is, before it can be extracted from the Earth for use by man, it must first be found. The search for economically useful mineral deposits is called prospecting. To establish the quality and quantity of a mineral deposit, the type of country rock, etc. means to prove it and this process is called proving. Prospecting and proving are only two different stages of mining geological exploration, the latter includes drilling and driving of openings.
Last century prospectors looked for visible evidence of mineralization on the surface of the Earth. To recognize valuable minerals it was necessary to know their various distinctive physical properties. For example, gold occurs in nature as a heavy malleable yellow metal. Galena, the most important mineral containing lead, is dark grey, heavy and lustrous. The first ores of iron to be mined were deposits of magnetite, a black heavy mineral capable of attracting a piece of iron.
As the deposits of mineral that cropped out at the surface were mined, the search for additional supplies of minerals took place. The science of geology was used to explain the occurrence of ore deposits.
The aim of geological prospecting is to provide information on a preliminary estimation of the deposit and the costs of the geological investigations to be made. It also indicates whether it is available to continue the exploration or not.
Prospecting work includes three stages: 1) finding signs of the mineral; 2) finding the deposit; 3) exploring the deposit.
General indications of the possibility of exposing this or that mineral in a locality can be obtained by studying its general topographical relief, the type of ground and its general natural conditions. Thus, in mountainous regions where fissures were formed during the process of mountain formation, ore minerals could be expected in the fissure fillings. In hilly regions, sedimentary deposits would be expected.
Certain deposits are found only in a particular type of ground. Coal seams, for example, are found in sedimentary formations mainly consisting of sandstones and shales. Veins, on the other hand, are found in crystalline (igneous) rocks, and the type of country rock usually determines the type of minerals.
At present, prospecting methods to be used are as follows:
1. Surface geological and mineralogical prospecting such as panning.
2. Geophysical, geochemical, geobotanical prospecting.
3. Aerial photography with geological interpretation of the data to be obtained is highly effective from aircraft or helicopter. Besides, successful development of space research has made it possible to explore the Earth's resources from space by satellites.
In modern prospecting the methods mentioned above are used together with the study of geological maps.
