Enclosed downcast shaft, the museum has displays in a drift amounting to about 350m, didn't have time to go on the tour
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.
In the wari on the bank of river Indrayani this boy Tanu is using a new technique to earn his bread. He throws the magnet and collect the coins from the pond in which the water is highly contaminated because of the pooja.
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.
Four LNG terminals are approved for construction in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, leading to direct criticism from the World Heritage Committee monitoring mission that “the decisions that were taken to proceed with approvals based on offsetting therefore appear to not correspond to an agreed approach within the World Heritage Convention.

A scrap merchant would be in heaven here with all this metal hanging around. Given the high price of scrap there must be thousands of pounds worth lying around on this part of the site alone.

Ansley Hall Colliery opened in 1878 and soon after the Ansley Hall Coal & Iron Co. Ltd was founded. The pit closed in 1959 and since then the pithead baths buildings have been in industrial use. This is one of the entrances to this 1930s building.

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.
I built this MOC for Andromeda's Gates on Eurobricks. It shows a MANTIS mining base in full swing, there's even some little loader trucks carrying loads of Awesomnium. The building has a full interior as well.

A cute bee on a tree. Taken in my landlord's garden. Any more specific details on ID much appreciated (there's another shot in the comments). And, my previous upload is another bee, taken in the same spot, but on a different day---I don't know whether they are the same species. In fact, I'd love to know if there are any good ID books for solitary bees.
West Virginia coal mining began in the mid-1800s, prior to the ratification of the state. By the early 1900s coal was dominating the American economy, powering industry, railroads, and streetcars across the nation, in addition to being a reliable source of heat and energy for many homes and businesses.
Visiting an old mine, thinking of the miners that worked in it, puts your on work and life into perspective. This is my contribution to the Photosunday Group and this week's theme Perspective. May 5, 2013.
Att besöka en gammal gruva och få dess historia berättad för sig, med gruvarbetarna och deras liv i särskilt fokus, gör att man får perspektiv på ens eget arbete och liv. Detta är mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag och temat perspektiv. 5 maj 2013.
