We have seen this mine grow every year. I love the colors. The Canaletes valley has been mined for clay for a long time. Now the clay is used for refractory bricks.

Wir haben diese Mine schon oft gesehen und jedes Jahr wird sie grösser. Die farbige Erde fasziniert mich. Im Canaletes Tal baut man seit vielen Jahren Tonerde ab. heute wird die Erde für Schamottesteine oder Feuerfestziegel verwendet.
This type of heavy equipment was used in oil sands mining at Syncrude. The last one was retired in 2006.

Participants in NASA's 7th annual Robotic Mining Competition tote their robotic excavators to the competition arena on the first day of competitive runs following morning practice rounds. The RMC is set up for college students to design and build a mining robot that can travel over a simulated Martian surface, excavate regolith and deposit as much of it as possible into a bin, all within 10 minutes. Team members may control their bots remotely from a trailer where their only line of sight is via a computer screen, or completely autonomously, with their programming skills put to the test as their robot handles the mission on its own. The competition, which takes place May 16 to 20 at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, focuses on technologies necessary to extract consumables such as oxygen and water to support human life and provide methane fuel to spacecraft.

The Mining Mech was designed to withstand cave-ins and beast attacks even though it has no weapons. It carries a saber saw, hydra drill, shovel, and heat-ray (for cutting apart particularly stubborn rocks). It always travels with a escort.
This MOC is a ad-on to the LEGO invasion from below theme.
A small-scale mine in Guyana. Harmful chemicals are constantly entering back into the waterways, devastating the biodiversity and negatively impacting the villages downstream from the source.
I would assume a fresh air vent at one time. First time the took the photo it didn't come out so this time I got on the ground holding real tight to my camera then held more in the hole with the flash up.
Participants in NASA's 7th annual Robotic Mining Competition take part in opening ceremonies for the event. The RMC is set up for college students to design and build a mining robot that can travel over a simulated Martian surface, excavate regolith — or Mars dirt — and deposit as much of it as possible into a bin, all within 10 minutes. Team members may control their bots remotely from a trailer where their only line of sight is via a computer screen, or completely autonomously, with their programming skills put to the test as their robot handles the mission on its own.

The Californian Gold Rush of 1849 saw a proliferation in the use of steam power for the extraction of mineral wealth.

The church on the right is the only building still standing today of this group of three buildings. the church on the left was made from corrugated iron. The photographer has added two lines of identical description, as this photo was intended to be turned into a picture postcard, these were very popular at this time.
The institute was opened in May 1901 by Major AE Burdon JP, Director of the Seaton Delaval Coal Company. The key presented to Major Burdon at the opening can be seen below.

Part of the former copper miners' township of Hampton near Burra, South Australia. A rare (for Australia) example of an abandoned 19th century township started in 1857 when copper miners wanted to own their own houses not live in 'Company homes'. After 1885 no-one living there made their living from mining, and the last occupants left Hampton in early 1960s.

Thanks to the local historians and Australian Bi-centennial Authority for signage with this information.
I really appreciate all who visit to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia. Thank you!
