Hmm, looks like my hands could benefit from some moisturiser treatment!
Participants in NASA's 7th annual Robotic Mining Competition refine their robotic excavator before taking it 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.

Some old signs on a side road to the old part of the mine.
We have seen this mine grow every year. I love the colors.

Ein paar Verbotstafeln auf einem verfallenen Weg zum alten Teil der Mine. Wir haben diese Mine schon oft gesehen und jedes Jahr wird sie grƶsser. Die farbige Erde fasziniert mich.
Lot's of digging for the ore in this area - At its peak in the late 1800ās, some 4000 people lived in Nevadaville. In the 1860s and 1870s it was known as Nevada City. Being sitauted next to Central City made this a bustling place to be. The town died due to gold and silver running out around 1900.
On a tour of old mine's with the stuff around the engine that was used to raise and lower stuff from the hole. This was in a family but had decided to Boulder County, Colorado to take this over - it's on the historical list.

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 Āmaison de toleranceĀ 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.

I don't have any info on this place but all I know I've passed it for yrs and finally got tired of that so I stopped one day - but did find out that it's on Alvarado Rd which I thought was still Stanley Rd in this area - up from Stanley Rd - So my question is was there a mining town called Alvarado and is this a combination of 2 names - Al n Colorado????

Hereās another mystery from the archives of our Force museum.
It comes from a random collection of images of landmark locations and we have no idea why they were originally taken or their location or date.
We hope an eagle-eyed visitor to our photostream may be able to tell us more.
From the collection of Greater Manchester Police Museum.

I love the colors and how the side that faces the prevailing winds is totally aged and gray, but the other side still has some color in the wood.
The Mining Drone can operate on itself. It's programmed by the Rock Raiders. This drone can mine in small caves where no vehicle can reach.
It's equipped with a small chainsaw, a small claw and a radar dish. It has also a detachable crate and carries mining tools for the Rock Raiders.

The Georgetown Loop make's a stop at the Lebanon mine, this is one want's to venture in the mine - this is remints of day's past.
As you drive down through the often dark gorge of the A6 from Buxton to Bakewell, towards King Sterndale, you pass this curious building up on your right amongst the trees. Built on a steep slope with a semi-ornate exterior I have always wondered what it is. I can only assume it is linked to the mining and quarrying activities all over this area but does anyone know anything more about it?
