"The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine, formerly and historically the Cresson Mine, is an active gold mine located near the town of Victor, in the Cripple Creek mining district in the US state of Colorado. The richest gold mine in Colorado history, it is the only remaining significant producer of gold in the state, and produced 322,000 troy ounces of gold in 2019, and reported 3.45 million troy ounces of Proven and Probable Reserves as at December 31, 2019. It was owned and operated by AngloGold Ashanti through its subsidiary, the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V), until 2015, when it sold the mine to Newmont Mining Corporation.
The mine is an open pit operation. The gold is recovered from the ore by heap leaching. CC&V's heap leach pad is one of the biggest in the world." Wikipedia
Halde Nordeutschland
Die Halde Nordeutschland ist durch den Aushub der dortigen Zechen bei Kamp-Lintfort und Neukirchen-Vluyn entstanden. Auf 102 m Höhe ist das sogenannte Hallenhaus errichtet worden. Hier oben bietet sich Richtung Osten eine reiche Aussicht auf den Niederrhein und das Ruhrgebiet. Zudem gibt es hier oben genug Platz für diverse Events.
The scree "Norddeutschland" (mining dump) based on the excavation material from the coal mines of Kamp-Lintfort and Neukirchen-Vluyn left side of the river Rhine. At the top of 102m (300 feet) by the so called hall house you have an amazing view eastwards to the lower Rhine region and the "Ruhrgebiet". There are also facilities for all kind of events.

Das Deutsche Bergbau-Museum gegründet 1930 in Bochum ist das größte Bergbaumuseum der Welt und zum anderen Forschungsinstitut für Georessourcen und Montanwesen und Bergbauarchiv. Das Museum verfügt über ein Anschauungsbergwerk mit Seilfahrtsimulator. Das weithin sichtbare Symbol des Museums, der 71 m hohe Förderturm kann bestiegen werden.
The German Mining Museum, founded in Bochum in 1930, is the largest mining museum in the world and, on the other hand, is a research institute for georesources and mining and mining archives. The museum has a demonstration mine with a rope simulator. The symbol of the museum, which can be seen from afar, the 71 m high winding tower can be climbed.
Into the nest of a mining bee. I watched several hovering in front of burrows, swinging their abdomens forward to shoot their eggs inside. Please see this link to Steve Balcomes stream for a most interesting observation. www.flickr.com/photos/stevebalcombe/26484725033/in/datepo...

Der Thüringische Schieferpark Lehesten ist als historischer Schiefertagebau mit all seinen einmaligen Funktionsgebäuden heute ein technisches Denkmal in der Berg- und Schieferstadt Lehesten im thüringischen Landkreis Saalfeld-Rudolstadt. Das etwa 105 ha große Areal liegt an der Thüringisch-Fränkischen Schieferstraße südlich von Lehesten unweit der Grenze zu Bayern im Naturpark Thüringer Schiefergebirge/Obere Saale. Der Schiefer wurde bereits im 13. Jahrhundert abgebaut, später in kleinen Brüchen gewonnen und mündete im Laufe der Zeit zu einem der ehemals größten Schiefertagebaue des europäischen Festlandes.
The Thuringian Slate Park Lehesten is a historic open-cast slate mine with all its unique functional buildings and is now a technical monument in the mining and slate town of Lehesten in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district of Thuringia. The approximately 105 hectare area is located on the Thuringian-Franconian Slate Road south of Lehesten not far from the border with Bavaria in the Thuringian Slate Mountains/Upper Saale Nature Park. The slate was mined as early as the 13th century, later extracted in small quarries and over time it became one of the largest slate mines on the European mainland.
David P. Morgan once described the Reserve Mining Railroad as a perfect railroad; one unencumbered by the ICC, passenger trains or branch lines. They focused solely on one commodity. and with a great physical plant they ran the hell out of it. There were years when the RMCo Railroad moved more tonnage than the entire Soo Line! Some remnants litter this shot, with Reserve era signals and ore cars mixed with newer locomotives. Out of sight but up and to the right exists a tailings pond, the result of "The United States of America v. Reserve Mining Company", a landmark case which marked the beginning of the EPA wielding significantly more power over corporations polluting the environment. I think spot is gated off now, the camera in the distance was new when I shot this and no doubt a contributing factor. Even out of its Reserve days, the North Shore Mining Company was still as cool as it always was.

Happy Truck Thursday!
Butterflies cannot live on Nectar alone. Minerals are also required by butterflies and to get them they do what is called Puddling. Puddling is when butterflies gather on muddy areas of soil to suck up water that contains devolved minerals. They radically fly over the wet soil; it seems radical to me, but they might have a method, then land in their chosen spot and suck up the mineral rich water.
Clipstone Colliery was a coal mine situated near the village of the same name on the edge of an area of Nottinghamshire known as “The Dukeries” because of the number of stately homes in the area. The colliery was owned by the Bolsover Colliery Company and passed to the National Coal Board in 1947. The headstocks and powerhouse are grade II listed buildings.

View of the Little Theresa Mine from the interpretive loop trail. which was operated from 1895 to as late as 1961 by several companies, including the Theresa Gold Mining Company, the Vindicator Consolidated, the United Gold Mines Company, and the Golden Cycle Mining Company. The entire surface plant was destroyed by fire in 1934, and the metal frame shown here rebuilt in 1938.
