Site of gold mining in Tamiougou just south of Kongoussi. Paul Sawadogo, 27 years old, prospector says, "I started panning for gold at 17. The gallery is 10m deep. Each prospector spends 12 hours underground and brings up several kilos of ore will be crushed and then washed. The last accident happened 6 years ago." Burkina Faso. Africa.

Exact Mining Services Kenworth T404SAR loaded with a Kenworth K104 after it broke down 30km South of Port Augusta. The T404SAR came up from Adelaide loaded with another K104 and dropped that off and loaded the broken down K104 on the back off the float.
Fifeshire, 9th September 1967. Report number Cmnd 3657.9 dead with 3 entombed for eternity.
I find that, in accordance with the medical evidence, the men died from asphyxia by gases produced by a fire which occurred at about 3.30 a.m. in a road known as the Loader Mine. Because the affected areas of the colliery working were sealed off in an attempt to contain the fire, a post-incident examination of the area was not possible. The evidence given at the Inquiry was, however, sufficient to lead me to the conclusion that the fire was caused by coal, ignited by spontaneous combustion, bursting out into the Loader Mine where it ignited first part of the polyurethane lining of the roadway and then the belt of the conveyor sited therein. The resulting fire then involved other inflammable material such as coal and wood in the Loader Mine and the Loco Level. The evidence clearly indicated that the fire produced vast quantities of black smoke which issued, with little preliminary warning by haze or smell, into the intake airways, thereby affecting every district of the colliery. All the men in the No. 2 Pit workings escaped, none suffering serious injury, but nine men working in the No. 3 Pit area were unfortunately overcome by the smoke; the bodies of six were recovered.
The sinking of Nos. 1 and 2 Shafts, both rectangular in cross section and wood lined, was begun in 1892 and reached the Chemiss Seam at a depth of 136 fathoms in 1898. The No. 3 Shaft, 24 feet in diameter and concrete lined, was sunk to the present pit bottom at a depth of 300 fathoms in 1928. More recently the No. 2 Shaft was enlarged to 20 feet in diameter, concrete lined and extended down to 430 fathoms. In 1944, No. 1 Pit was completely filled in and the two remaining shafts were used for winding coal, No. 3 serving as the downcast and No. 2 as the upcast. Safety lamps were in use throughout the mine.

To study the links between the increased metabolism of the economy and environmental damage, EJOLT looks at mining conflicts (precious metals & bulk materials) and waste disposal conflicts (ship breaking, e-waste exports and waste incineration). Local communities occupying ‘priceless sites’ oppose mining in ecologically sensitive areas (such as Intag, Ecuador) or technological and other corporate practices. We shall elaborate on risk assessment and undertake work to publicize violations of the Basel Treaty on the export of toxic waste (e.g. European ships dismantled in Alang and Sosiya, India). We will conduct a legal analysis of liability regimes in national, international and European laws. Sharing of such landmark cases on mining and ship-breaking conflicts worldwide will help us to elaborate online training materials about debates on health risks and resource destruction, and strategies of legal redress and public consultation in ways that take local activist knowledge into account.
