"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

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...
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.
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.

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.
On a beautiful September 20, 1991, a LTV Mining (former Erie Mining) taconite train slowly unloads over the dock at Taconite Harbor, Minnesota. The train is pulled by EMD F9A No. 4213, GP38 No. 4215, F9B No. 4225 and F9A No. 4210. Two lake boats are docked below. Up front is the Adam E. Cornelius, a 680-foot vessel sailing for American Steamship Co., and behind is the Charles M. Beeghly, a 806-foot boat from the Interlake Steamship Company fleet. Over the years, the Adam E. Cornelius has earned a reputation of being a “hard luck” boat—it has been grounded several times, lost power in open water, struck an Interstate Highway bridge, suffered major ice damage—yet still remains active today! I sure wish the railroad was…

Copper mining infrastructure, part of Phelps Dodge Corporation copper mining operation in Bisbee, AZ. Mining operations stopped in 1974. I believe these towers were used for some type of post-processing of the recovered slurry.

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.
Like many others I’ve been mining the archives as opportunities to get out and shoot diminish. This is from our 2017 meet-up in British Columbia with a bunch of the kindest, most talented photographers you could ever hope to meet. Inspired by [https://www.flickr.com/photos/jennilou101] ‘s vibrant greens. F4.5, what was I thinking?
