Nikon FE2 Reala 100 | This is the Order Of Lenin above the gates of the Lugansk «Лугансктепловоз» (an important diesel locomotive manufacturing concern). The Order is awarded for outstanding contribution to the Soviet state. It's still the subject of great pride, and it's not unusual to see it displayed on the website of some companies www.nkmz.com/Russian/index.html This is somewhat curious, considering the age of the internet.

National Mining Museum Scotland
The National Mining Museum Scotland was created in 1984, to preserve the physical surface remains of Lady Victoria Colliery at Newtongrange, Midlothian, Scotland. The colliery, sunk by the Lothian Coal Company in 1890, came into production in 1894. It was nationalised in 1947 with the formation of the National Coal Board, and had closed in 1981.
The buildings were recognised as being of outstanding interest as they formed an almost complete survival of a major Victorian colliery, with later additions. Some demolition, such as the 1950s canteen and medical centre, has occurred but the vast bulk of the structures stand. The winding engine is by Grant, Ritchie and Company and the colliery headstocks were built by Arrols of Glasgow. From 1998 onwards several of the main structures were stabilised and new visitor facilities opened. [Wikipedia]
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.
The former ore sampler in Murray, Utah. Located "down rail' from the former Murray ASARCO smelter site, with connections to the then Union Pacific and Rio Grande mainlines. Undergoing some sort of demolition effort at the time of the photo, it would stall shortly afterwards leaving the building still standing as a hollowed out skeleton.

WIPP miners use a remote-controlled continuous mining machine to make space in the bedded salt for planned Salt Disposal Investigations.
Mining crews recently began tunneling areas in the north end of the 2,150-foot-deep Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) repository to support a new round of salt studies. Known as the Salt Disposal Investigations (SDI), the studies are designed to test the geologic response of salt to elevated temperatures.
Saeed was just 23 years-old and had been the sole breadwinner in his family. He was a Yazidi Kurd - a religious minority group. He was killed trying to return to his village in Iraq’s north-west region to help others who weren’t able to flee soon after it had come under attack by troops from the militant group, ISIL (the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant).
His widow, Khalil, is struggling to look after her three young children, the youngest just four months old, and shares one room with 16 members from her extended family in a bare, unheated building that once served as a military barracks in a desolate coal mining area in Şırnak province, south-eastern Turkey.

The Malabar Tea Plantation used to be owned and operated by the Dutch, and one in particular: Karel Albert Rudolf Bosscha.
K.A.R. Bosscha was the son of renown Dutch physicist Johannes Bosscha and Paulina Emilia Kerkhoven. After gaining some formal education in engineering at Polytechnical School of Delft, in 1887 came out to Netherlands Indies and stayed with his uncle while working at Sinagar Estate near Cibadak (West Java) that his uncle owned. Work at his uncle's company gave him little satisfaction, thus after 6 months he went to Sambas (Borneo) to join his older brother John Bosscha, a geologist. During this time he worked on gold exploration and mining with his brother until his return to Sinager 1892 now as its administrator.[1] He stayed at Sinagar Estate till 1895 and in 1896 he undertook the management of Malabar Estate near Pangalengan (Bandung) until his death in 1928. Till this day the Malabar Estate plantation is still operational under state own company (PT Perkebunan Nusantara) management.
Java is the world's most densely populated island (population: 136 million). It is home to 60% of Indonesia's population. Much of Indonesian history took place on Java; it was the centre of powerful Hindu-Buddhist empires, Islamic sultanates, the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, and was at the centre of Indonesia's campaign for independence. The island dominates Indonesian social, political and economic life. More information on wikipedia.

The Central City/Black Hawk Historic District (formerly just the Central City Historic District) is a National Historic Landmark District that encompasses the developed areas of Central City and Black Hawk, Colorado. They are adjacent former gold mining camps in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Gilpin County, Colorado, United States. For a time, the area was known as the Richest Square Mile on Earth,[3] and was the largest urban area of the Colorado Territory in the 1870s.
The district was designated a National Historic Landmark on July 4, 1961, for its well-preserved early mining community architecture and history.[2][4][5]
By the middle of July 1859, between 20,000 and 30,000 people were living in and around Gregory Gulch.
Dawson is a ghost town in Colfax County, New Mexico. It was a mining town, and suffered two mine disasters killing 376.
The first on October 22, 1913, was an explosion that killed 263 miners. The second, also an explosion, on February 13, 1923, killed 123 miners - many of them children of the men who died in the 1913 explosion.
Its cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is filled with iron crosses marking the graves of miners, many who died in the two explosions.

Downcast shaft at Daw Mill colliery in Warwickshire. This is the largest colliery in the UK, mining a five-metre thick section of the Warwickshire Thick seam some 750 metres below the ground. The shafts here are 558 metres and 556 metres deep. In 1982, a drift was completed and all coal is now brought out this way.
Minister Bill Bennett gets "pied in the face" as part of Teck's Celebrity Pie Throw in support of the Mining for Miracles campaign for BC Children's Hospital. In response to a challenge by Minister Bennett, the Mining Association of BC raised $10,000.00 from the audience to see Minister Bennett get "pied".
BC Children's Hospital has been BC's mining industry Charity of Choice for over 25 years. Attended by celebrated and notable individuals from BC's mining industry, the pie throw has become a campaign favorite. This popular event throws the world's most expensive cream pies in the faces of mining industry leaders, all in support of BC's sick and injured kids.
Mining Week is an annual celebration, spearheaded by the Mining Association of BC, which celebrates the importance of the modern industry to British Columbians. Events will be held May 3rd through May 9th 2015 across the province in various communities that depend on mining as a large part of their economies.
