High oleic acid canola oil is another development pursued in Canada, the United States, Sweden, Australia, and elsewhere (137). As with low linolenic acid canola oil, the aim was to produce stable frying oil, which will not need hydrogenation and thus avoid fraui-isomers formation. The oleic acid content in oil from seed developed in Canada is at about 78%, whereas linoleic and linoleic acids are lowered to approximately 8% and 3% respectively (see Table 2). Saturated fatty acid content is unchanged from the standard canola oil. There is limited commercial seed production for export to Japan. Also, there is increasing acceptance of the oil in Canada and the United States. The frying performance in tests was found to be similar to... 

Today, after the exhaustion of most premium ore deposits, the banded iron formations are by far the world s richest source of low-grade iron ore. According to the US Geological Survey, world iron-ore resources still exceed 800 billion tons of crude ore, containing more than 230 billion tons of iron, much of which comes from Australia, Brazil and China. Of this total, at least 640 billion tons were laid down between 2.6 and 1.8 billion years ago. The Hamersley formation alone contains 20 billion tons of iron ore, with 55 per cent iron content. 

Fig. 32. PAAS-normalized lanthanide patterns for early Proterozoic uranium deposits from the Pine Creek Geosyneline, Australia (data are from McLennan and Taylor 1979). Compared to the unmineralized host sedimentary roek, these deposits are extremely enriched in heavy lanthanides and depleted in light lanthanides. The abundances and amount of fractionation is related to the U content, suggesting the lanthanide mobility and U mineralization are directly related, thus helping to constrain the origin of the deposit. The fractionation of Sm and Nd during ore-formation allows dating by the Sm-Nd method.
