The Mining Tanker is built to go into in low underground tunnels to provide refueling needs for mining equipment.
This model was built for both the Lego Space Discord's Febroverary build challenge, as well as the Old Gray Bricks Discord's Color My Bricks contest.
Abundancia, a small arid planet, and the richest colony of the G.M.F. in terms of ores.
The Locusts can collect the crystals directly from the ground, then the miners can fill the Mammoths with this shiny loot.
This is the end section of the following photo. Had to get creative to maKe out the letters but it says - MFD BY UNIVERSAL CRUSHER.CO
Yule Marble is a marble of metamorphosed limestone found only in the Yule Creek Valley, in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado, 2.8 miles (4.5 km) southeast of the town of Marble, Colorado.[1] First discovered in 1873, it is quarried today inside a mountain at 9,300 feet (2,800 m) above sea level, in contrast to most marble, which is quarried from an open pit and at much lower elevations.
Full view of this ore processing system built in 1902 but folded in 1905 cause of improper management but word has it the ore is still here.
A screen grab of a dragline in action mining phosphate rock in Polk County. The Polk County History Center in Bartow has a section featuring one of the major sources of Central Florida’s prosperity. The source material are layers of bones and shells many millions of years old, the sediment from prehistoric times when the area was part of a large sea. The rock is refined to become a primary fertilizer material, via the addition of sulphuric acid to create phosphoric acid. Central Florida ranks second only to Morocco in phosphate rock deposits, which are a non-renewable resource.
It was my job as a fertilizer market analyst that first brought me to Florida in the mid-1980s. That might not seem the most enticing of careers, but in common with many colleagues and friends, it proved very rewarding and fulfilling. I lasted some 31 years in the business. I always enjoyed visits to the mines and processing plants, which included observing the extraction of the raw material from within a dragline cab.
The operation makes heavy environmental demands, including water use for the rock refinement. The phosphoric acid production process also creates by-product gypsum, which in the absence of any permitted commercial use must be dumped in high-maintenance stacks. Once the mine is depleted, the mining company is obligated to restore the landscape to its original state.
Nevadaville was a gold-mining town in Gilpin County, Colorado, United States. It was also known in the 1860s and 1870s as Nevada City. The post office at Nevadaville was called the Bald Mountain post office, to avoid confusion with other Nevadas and Nevadavilles. The community is now largely a ghost town, although not completely deserted. The Nevadaville Masonic Temple that started in 1861 still holds regular meetings. Nevadaville started in 1859, soon after John H. Gregory found the first lode gold in what is now Colorado. At the time, the townsite was in western Kansas Territory. The town grew to house the miners working the Burroughs lode and the Kansas lode. The population was predominantly Irish.[1]

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
Same place and that off in the distance on the right is Central City, Colorado which I hear this area is rich in Quartz.
Gold mining is a big industry in Western Australia. The original photo was taken at the Kalgoorlie Super Pit mine, the largest open pit gold mine in Australia.
The shovel seen in the photo is a Komatsu PC8000. It is actually bigger than a house.
The trucks are CAT 793's - they are almost 20ft / 6m tall and carry 240 tonnes of rock.
I thought it was a interesting subject for a miniature fake...
“Throughout most of its history,” an article reads, “Gilman as been a company town… a family town.” Gilman were a myriad of mines: Ida May, Little Duke, Ground Hog, Belden, Iron Mask, May Queen, Kingfisher, Little Chief, Crown Point, and Little Ollie, the oldest dating back to 1878. On May 5, 1879, a Judge by the name of D. D. Belden discovered what would become Belden Mine, a lode so famous that the whole strip of subterranean activity below Battle Mountain and Gilman along Eagle Gulch would later become known simply as “Belden.” Later that year, a local newsman discovered what would be developed into Iron Mask Mine, the principal producer of lead and zinc within Colorado for decades. Soon, the mining town evolved far beyond a primitive mining camp on the side of a mountain to a village where families could prosper, supplied by the railroad below and Kelly Toll Road, now US Highway #24, above. There was a theater where traveling dramatic troupes would perform, hotels like Iron Mask, boarding houses, schools, and even a newspaper named “The Gilman Enterprise.”

HIM(mining gear) - 983674 Golem (2-3)
the golem is a small mining mech purposely build for the cramp conditions in underground mining operations. it has a diatanium gouging equipment and a a high intensity laser cutter.
lovely light this morning at the National Mining Museum, Newtongrange nationalminingmuseum.com/ - a great place to visit
Lebanon mine - we had electric wired to these lantern's but the miner's had only wax candles cause of fire's and if they didn't need them they but them out and save them so obviously after 10 yrs a day in the dark for a few yrs one's eye gets adjusted.
Screens at Ayle Colliery. This is the last working colliery in England apart from the small free mines in the Forest of Dean.

Out of all the photos I had to edit I believe this one is the strongest. Originally I framed to be lower to the ground however re framing from a higher vantage pulled the view into the scene. Lighting was pretty standard. The only problem I ran into was lighting deeper into the scene. The further the path got the harder it got to light. I even attempted to drive my car pointed into the road to get the high beams however it was very harsh uncontrollable light. Because I was not able to light the scene completely the camera created this ugly noise grain in areas where there was no true light.
This photo will bring the element of depth to my concentration for it really draws the viewer deeper down the road and up towards to cosmos.
The mine was a challenge to my preconceptions. In Kailo they mine wolframite and casserite. Before the war the mines were operated by a state run company, the defunct infrastructure can be glimpsed under bushes and vines. The company still has a smart office in the centre of the village, but instead of mining they take a percentage of the proceeds of the artisan miners and the traders. Most of the workers are from the area, although I met some from the province of Kasai. Children were working with their parents, helping with panning for the ore, carrying and selling goods to the workers. The mine is made up of widely dispersed open pits. Most pits were 4 to 10 metres deep with the occasional 25 metre pit. Next to the pits were the temporary huts of the workers. There did not appear to be the squalor or disease that we find in gold mines. Although there were maison de tolerance as they are politely called here with the associated risks of sexual diseases, AIDS and child prostitution.
As we left the mine we crossed two four wheel drive cars carrying men from a British company interested in investing in the mine.
