Another slide restoration of a former welsh slate mining area, which I believe was open to the public at the time (mid-1980s) & in better Covid free times, may still be.

Ruines de la chapelle Sainte-Barbe, Berrien (29)
Bonne fête de Sainte-Barbe ! Dans ma région minière, beaucoup de travailleurs, même s'ils ne sont pas mineurs ou sapeurs-pompiers fêtent cette sainte le 4 novembre. (ou la veille :-) comme je l'ai fait joyeusement hier avec mes ex-collaboratrices
😄)
Ruins of the Sainte-Barbe chapel, Berrien (29)
Happy St. Barbara’s Day! In my mining region, many workers, even if they are not miners or firefighters, celebrate this saint on November 4. (or the day before :-) as I happily did yesterday with my ex-collaborators 😄)
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.
Last week Zach and I discovered that we each had a couple PTO days to burn. I took the same days that he did just because there wasn't much else free. My intention was to get things done at home, do some car shopping, and maybe train stuff. I didn't have a passport but I decided to work on that this week for the sake of having that done for future endeavors, and maybe I'd have more options open up for the long weekend if things went quickly. I had an appointment to apply for an expedited passport in Buffalo on Tuesday. The night before my appointment I discovered that the copy of my birth certificate that I had was not a certified copy as is required. I was pretty much screwed but I wasn't going to throw that appointment away because they are difficult to come by. Between working the WAJO on Monday and Tuesday nights somehow I managed to get the certified certificate that I needed from the records office at my birthplace and get my passport application submitted in Buffalo. On Wednesday, late in the afternoon, I called Zach and told him the news. By nothing short of a godsent miracle, I was walking out of the passport agency in Buffalo with a passport in hand. With a good forecast ahead we made the decision to head for the ONR, and less than a couple hours later we crossed the border. The end result was two great days and one that wasn't so great, plus a driving day, but this was one of those shots that made the last minute scramble worth it regardless of what followed. Kudos to Zach for the driving and doing the legwork on getting some pregame info despite not having a ton of time to do so. ONR twenty one naught one southbound out of Englehart for North Bay, in the no man's land south of Temagami.

Antimony Mining
The mining of antimony commenced in Ringwood after its discovery in 1869. Antimony was a sought-after mineral in its time. It was used for making pewter, in the manufacture of vulcanized rubber, as a pigment in paint, for the manufacture of medicines, and in the printing industry. Mining took place during the 1870s and into the 1880s although was generally discontinued after 1892 (due to the recession of the 1890s).
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.
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.
The Hearst Memorial Mining Building at the University of California, Berkeley, is home to the university's Materials Science and Engineering Department. The Beaux-Arts-style Classical Revival building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as part of California Historical Landmark #946. It was designed by John Galen Howard, with the assistance of the UC Berkeley-educated architect Julia Morgan and the Dean of the College of Mines at that time, Samuel B. Christy. It was the first building on that campus designed by Howard. Construction began in 1902 as part of the Phoebe Hearst campus development plan. The building was dedicated to the memory of her husband George Hearst, who had been a successful miner.
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.

Happy Truck Thursday!
Goldfield, Colorado
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.
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.
Mining ruins on Litigation Hill, near Manhattan Nevada. The crest of the Toiyabe Range is visible right.
Literally a small mining tank with laser capable to cut chunks of rock. Usually it's controlled by driver/operator sitting inside armored cabin, but it can function unmanned (just let's pretend that "WALL" is a good name for a company, ok?).
Another build inspired by Hibernia and mining equipment, idea for a tracked mining vehicle with laser gun on it came from this MOC by Cap . I have a feeling that this machine does not fit into the criteria of the models typical for Febrovery, but I really like to construct more purposefully-built wheeled and tracked vehicles than usual rovers. And gosh, making these tracks in Studio is really annoying.....
