Cligga Head explosive works formed part of the Nobel explosive works.
The works were constructed in 1893 when the site was built by the "British and Colonial Explosive Company" this was a prime site for them to build on due to the cligga head mine also being on the same site.
Nobles explosives brought out "British and Colonial", how ever mining and production stopped in 1909 as the mining depression hit cornwall. It wasn't until WW1 that the site restarted by producing small amounts of munitions for the front line and again after the war the site was shut down.
A small hope came in 1938 when "Cligga tin and Wolfram Mines Ltd" was created and took over the running of the site however this was to fold a year later. The site was again taken over in 1939 by the Rhodesian Mine company and Mainly Tungsten was mined on the site, however the end of the WW2 was approaching and shipments of tungsten was able to arrive from america meaning that the price of production of the tungsten in the UK increased and the mine was shut down again.
It wasn't until 1960 that the mine was touched again, "Geevor mining company" brought a lease of the site with the intention of reopening both the mine and the surface workings, however they scraped this plan for the alternative of pumping out Levant mine further down the coast. The site was demolished and the mine capped.
A small attempt was made in 1984 to open up and mine tin but this never came the anything and the plans were scrapped in 1985.

Virginia Army National Guard Soldiers from from the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, High Yield Explosive Enhanced Response Force Package, or CERFP, work in confined spaces, break and breach, life and haul, shore and crib, all at the CERFP Heavy Collapse Specialist Course taught Aug. 11-15, 2014, by Response International Group, or R.I.G., at Camp Gruber, Okla. Seven Virginia Guard Soldiers attended the course, along with fellow CERFP Soldiers from the Colorado and Hawaii National Guards, which required them to work through various scenario-based training missions in 18-hour shifts, from 6 a.m. to midnight each day of the course. The course builds on the knowledge gained by Soldiers at the CERFP Basic Course, and focuses on the use of heavy equipment, improvising to solve problems, complete the mission and save lives, while providing the Soldiers experience at a variety of different training venues that mimic different types of disaster sites the Soldiers could encounter. By the end of the week, each squad typically moves over 100,000 pounds of rock. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Terra C. Gatti, Virginia Guard Public Affairs)
Volcanos that inject ash and quantities of sulphate aerosol into the upper atmosphere have a wider effect on global temperatures individual volcanos with a less powerful eruptions. On the other hand, even a sizeable number of small eruptions accompanied by a long duration of ejecting carbon dioxide and other gasses, can very significantly pollute the atmosphere creating a 'volcanic winter'.
Collecting data comes with a cost. If the cost is too high, that may limit the quantity of data being collected, which in turn limits what can be learned from the data in question. For a test involving $500,000 missiles, the costs would mount quickly and testing would likely be limited. (Photo by Jason Cutshaw, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command)

It close down for manufacturing in 1919 but was used until the 1960s for the storage of explosives.

China Lake, Calif. (Nov. 8, 2006) - Chief Electronics Technician Chris Milne sights his weapon in on a target during small arms training and qualification. Milne and other members of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group One are conducting gun qualifications as part of their Expeditionary Warfare (EXW) pin requirements. The EXW pin was established July 31, 2006 and is available for all expeditionary Sailors. In January, the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) brought EOD, Naval Coastal Warfare, Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support functions and Seabees together under one command. NECC integrates all war-fighting requirements for expeditionary combat and combat support elements. This transformation allows for standardized training, manning, and equipping of Sailors who will participate in the global war on terrorism as part of the joint force.
